I’ve unfortunately got another month of working 6 days a week back to back, yet in a couple months they can’t guarantee me even 6 days extra a month which means I don’t feel financially secure enough to leave my 3rd job because I will need it as back up soon, but I can’t commit to it now which is messing them around and they will just drop me because I have the better job that is asking me to work
God, I really just want one summer I don’t lose entirely to being at work, I want financial stability and work that doesn’t either take up my whole life or wear away at my happiness because of how irrelevant and mundane it is to my ambitions.
I’ve promised myself to stop trying to control my situation because it just leads to frustration and depression, accepting my reality, but that feels too much like giving up. I had a day off yesterday and was in such a good mood but coming to work today has deflated my happiness and optimism. I want to be able to reconcile relinquishing the illusion of control with finding a better situation for myself. I exerted so much pressure to escape this trap I ended up hurting myself during the process without even escaping.
I was writing this in my journal on my lunch break but I have to return to work so have to type and write this here for now
