over the past few weeks i’ve managed to go from working one to five days a week at a restaurant. the work is fast-paced and physically and emotionally draining but i haven’t felt this good in months.
i don’t even particularly like my job but i feel so much better than when i’m unemployed and i don’t think it’s even about the money. i just need a reason to get up even if it’s just clearing tables and making lattes for people i’m in the world and i’m making it turn slowly with my own two hands
40-60 year old people get laid off daily after 15+ years in an industry and have to restart. You’re too young to even know life’s all about restarting and it’s all relative. Fall in love with the process of learning and it’ll never be scary. You might even end up loving what you pivot too. You’ll be fine.
