i want to be a better person
i just feel so full of angry and unhappy

i know i am a poet
everything else is up in the air
isn't it possible to do something for $$ that doesn't kill your soul?
and how the fuck do you figure out what that is?
i just feel so lost...

My job isn't killing my soul, it's just not nurturing it very much. That's OK for now.

that' usually ok for me too
i just see this path right now - and it looks like exec or admin asst for decades and i feel like i need to jump off soon or i will be even more stuck...

On the other hand, the jobs that were supposed to be fulfilling and rewarding and career-building were also the ones that exploited me the worst in terms of lower pay, skimpier benefits, extra hours, and bad office dynamics. Just sayin'.

painfully true
and i think i have the worst of both worlds right now

non-profit = fighting the good fight / bad pay, exploitative, bad office dynamics (arising)

but the advisement is definately taken
i have to be responsible about if / how i switch
