    Welp…

    This blog is just to vent out some stress, feel free to ignore it.

    Here I am. I’m regularly working 70+ hours a week, having to budget sleep against getting anything outside of work done. I try to write in my free time, but it’s agonizingly slow, and given how I feel I botched my last story, a little undermotivated.

    Sigh...

    Anyone else here ever try writing but fear that they lack the skills necessary to convey the scenes or emotions they intend in a satisfying way?

    The Wait Continues

    Hello my readers, I'm afraid I have some bad news. I got ahead of myself and posted my latest chapter of A Do-Over before it was completely ready, and my editor has given me several ways it can be improved upon and reduce the word count by a sizable amount.

    I'm going to take the newest chapter down for heavy editing and reworking, and I sincerely apologize for the further delay.

    Sorry for the wait

    For those of you who are waiting for the next chapter of A Do-Over, I apologize for the long time it’s taking me to write it. It’s just that this next chapter is arguably the most important of the whole story and I want to get it just right.

    It should be out sometime within the month.

Welp… · 4:03am Aug 26th, 2022

This blog is just to vent out some stress, feel free to ignore it.

Here I am. I’m regularly working 70+ hours a week, having to budget sleep against getting anything outside of work done. I try to write in my free time, but it’s agonizingly slow, and given how I feel I botched my last story, a little undermotivated.

I’m not sure what I pictured myself doing when I went to college, but it wasn’t this. It wasn’t working 6-7 days a week, praying to finish my apprenticeship soon. It wasn’t being so stressed I’d hide out in the parts room to cry when I got overwhelmed. And it definitely wasn’t questioning whether I’d chosen the wrong career path and the thing I used to love being a career that hates me.

I don’t know what to do, and the sad thing is I’m so busy I don’t have time to actively job hunt. I don’t know what my next step is, but the end goal is getting out of here.

I'm here for ya, dude /)

The human species wasn't designed to endure the type of civilization we've created. Next time you go out, take a long, hard look at the people around you. A good portion of them are completely alone, passing each other by without so much as blinking in each other's direction. If we're gonna make it through the coming years, we're gonna need to rely on our communities more than ever. It'll be hard, but I believe we can do it if we act in time.

Here's a hug for you

Here's some hugs. Hugs

I work as a professional, if you would like some advice for someone who did 60+ hours a week for a little over a year with no recognition give me a msg.

Your skill and determination have gotten you this far don’t give up now hopefully with all the hard work your doing will pay off with you getting enough money to be able to find a better job

Hey, it's going to be okay! Your wants and needs in life can change, and if your job is making you so stressed you're having panic attacks or breaking down, then you definitely need to try to find a better job. I don't have much experience with jobs since I'm only going to be entering college soon, and I definitely don't have a set career path in mind. But I do know people who loved what they did, but over time the job got too stressful or wasn't paying enough, and they had to leave. Things will get better

That sounds strikingly similar to where I am. I’m going through college and only just got a new job days ago. It involves retail and my schedule, along with the required customer service (I’m introverted), is beginning to make it feel like it’s 70+ hours even though it isn’t. One thing I’d say I’m jealous about though is that your able to cry when your overwhelmed. I haven’t cry for myself for nearly a decade. Emotions make us human and all I have is mostly temporary, superficial, and sometimes unintentionally expressed feelings. In that regard I’d say your better off then me.

Life gives us challenges, some which push us towards the brink. But human spirit is unique and special, we take the pain and we work towards creating beauty from it. To escape we should look towards our passions, yes? Find your passion and embrace its journey, to pick one's self up is to embrace life, I believe you will find happiness.

All is needed is faith.

Vous irez bien, je vais envoyer des prières pour votre sécurité et votre bonheur.

Vous êtes une rose unique dans le jardin de la vie.

We’re all here for you if you wanna talk bro

-Hugs-
