things i realized about jobs as i age and have a mental crisis because the world is shutting down, a thread:
i don't have to love my job, i just have to like it enough to show up and get paid
i don't have to give everything i have to my job or for my job, some things are more important
my job does not need to be the thing i love to do, or whatever my younger self thought i would be doing
i am allowed to have a life outside of work, and i am allowed to like my life more than my job
if you love your job i am so happy for you, and i am envious, but ive just come to the realization that really don't have to expend everything i have because i care
i don't have to care about my job beyond when i clock out, it should not keep me up at night, it should not wake me up from sleep with nightmares,
these companies do not care about me, they never have, they never will, why should i care even more? no one wins if i allow them to take advantage of my desire to give
