addict every day, i accept that as fact and live accordingly. even though it has been quite some time since i last used, i accept that i am not cured, or as i once heard, you cannot change a pickle back into a cucumber. this will be a brief dive into what is happening today, as i am busier than i had originally planned to be. first off, a shout out:
i am getting a bit put-off about how little time i actually get to myself these days, as looking for work, feels like more than a full-time occupation. time and again when i am just getting rolling into learning something new, my phone rings or i get a txt from some unknown sender. i have to be okay with all of that, and IF i choose to, i will have to put some limits on when i am available and when i am not. my first attempt at setting those boundaries, failed in a huge way, so back to the drawing board. i am worth being courted for a new job. i am worth finding a new position that fits me and my skills. i am also worth getting some “me” time as well. so it is up to me to find the balance i feel i am missing,. just for today.
