ive been feeling much better lately about my life. about 40 days ago i was having little daily mental breakdowns; overthinking what I’m gonna do w my life and how i didn’t know how much longer i could go on working dead end warehouse jobs, feeling injury after injury to my young vessel as old heads would preach that my generation is weak and lack work ethic. I think our generation is just at a place where we aren’t gonna (in my case can’t) continue on for years breaking down our body, overall unhappiness, working shitty hours, dealing w bad management and discrimination just to come home feeling like you’ve accomplished nothing for the world AND you can’t even pay your bills. Since I’ve been working I, like most, have been searching for a career I like/love and can flourish in. I kept telling my mom and others i know I’m not supposed to love every job but I shouldn’t wake up dreading the day. I shouldn’t have to expelled negative energy naturally bc I’m forcing shit for others approval and “that’s just how life is”. So I finally listened to my gut and made a change and found myself smiling at work yesterday. I looked at my window filled with dishes I made, all photo worthy; looked at my coworkers hastily moving to complete orders but working so elegantly you’d think they were dancing. I saw them and saw what I wanted, what with time I’ll become and just couldn’t help but have the biggest grin on my face. #youfeeltheengery #whenyougetnexttome #chef #culinarylife #liveyourlifeforyou #staygold #happinessishere #thatclearskintho #mentalhealth (at Always Be Happy Never Be Satisfied)
