4 weeks until I’m officially unemployed for the first time since being 23 yes old. I don’t think that reality has really sunk in yet and I have no idea what I’m going to do other than take the rest of the summer off. At some point, I know I’m going to freak out and break down, I just don’t know when.
Take the summer off, use the time to mourn and let go since it is a big change but also use the time to maybe do something fun you've wanted to do but haven't for whatever reason. But give yourself some time before you start the job hunt.
Yeah, I really should. I got a mountain of hobbies that I’ve just fallen out of due to lack of free time and stress. Plus my sleep pattern is an actual mess and has been for months.
It’s the anticipation of it that’s eating away at me right now, I think. Or something to do with it, maybe? Either way, I can’t wait for it to be over because it’s getting exhausting
Anticipation has a way of doing that, even if you know what's going to happen.
Probably my least favourite sensation ever
It definitely sucks
I’d love to have the superpower of complete emotional control. Just have that kick in any day now to be the most chill person to exist for the rest of the month. That’s be spiffy
Mark down August as a Zen Month, the anticipation will be over
yeah, if you have some leave money, enjoy the time off!! i am sure you will find something when youre ready
learning how to have free time was a very transformative thing for me
like learning how to do nothing and be okay with that
decimalplaces: Not something that should inspire existential dread, huh? I can’t even imagine just being okay with the idea of doing nothing right now
oh it is HELLA existential dread. AT FIRST. but im a firm believer that everyone needs to learn how to be okay with doing nothing and being uselesss, at some point in their lives
capitalism teaches us we're only valuable if we're productive and its IMPERATIVE to unlearn that in order to put yourself and your health and happiness first, imo. but its a very very hard thing to unlearn
I mean I’m 90% useless anyways as far as I’m concerned but I know that factually that had to be untrue or I wouldn’t have had a job to start with? But yeah, I’m just at a loose end and no idea what to do with myself when it really kicks in
Other than sleep for a week at least
