sorry if this is a little TMI, but after being unemployed for a few months, i somehow ended up with a lot more time for myself. and honestly, it made me realize just how time-consuming having a job actually is😭
like, imagine spending 8–9 hours a day doing something for someone else???
what happens to our hobbies? when are we supposed to exercise? clean the house? sleep early? read those books that have been sitting untouched on the shelf? what about the movies on our watchlist???
i know there are plenty of adults out there who can make time for all of those things. but i don’t know, personally, i still find it really difficult to do that.
having all this time lately has made me appreciate the little things i can do when my days actually belong to me. and now i’m pretty sure about one thing: for my next job, i want to make sure it’s something i genuinely like. because if i’m going to give away eight hours of my day, it better be worth it lol.
xoxo,

My dream job would be spending time doing whatever I want. I hate the fact that I have to give so much of my time to a job :(
ReplyDeletesame girl, sameeee😔😔😔
DeleteThis is currently my situation right now. I know eventually I’ll get the hang of juggling everything outside of a job, but right now, it is difficult. Mostly from being tired afterwards. And don’t even get me started on people in school (me soon) and people with kids. Like, I cannot put my job over myself. What if I get hurt, the company won’t care. I’d be jobless and in pain. I need a good middle ground (if that middle ground can be 90% me and 10% my job lol) We only have one body for the rest of our lives, so it’s good to take care of it.
ReplyDeleteright?? i wish we could all just live our lives without having to constantly worry about work taking up all our time and energy. 90% us and 10% work should honestly be the standard lol. we deserve to have a life.
DeleteDon't even get me started on how I ended up studying a profession I never really wanted to pursue. My only goal back then was to finish my degree and graduate.
ReplyDeleteWhen I finally entered the workforce, I realized that I do love what I do. But, it's the people I work with and the environment around me that sometimes make things difficult. On top of that, my job doesn't end when I leave the office. I've to bring my work home, too. So even when I've spent the entire day working in the office, I still find myself working once I get home. And it's exhausting.
Sometimes, I envy people who were born into wealthy families and had the privilege of financial security because of their parents. They have the freedom and time to explore their hobbies, pursue their passions, and develop their talents without constantly worrying about making ends meet. Meanwhile, those of us who come from ordinary backgrounds and earn average salaries have to spend most of our time working just to survive.
