Recently moved back in with my mother after graduating, and while I've always been fine in my solitude, it really hit me just how little I talk to people. All the people in town I know either don't live here anymore, drifted apart or I was never really friends with in the first place. I didn't make very many friendships I kept up with in college, either.
It's hard getting out there into the workforce; I was lucky enough to get a full ride which meant I could live off financial aid and didn't need to get a job, but now that means I'm 22 with no experience and not a whole lot else that could land me anything. I've been helping an elderly neighbor pack up her 3-bedroom house these past few weeks, but I feel a bit bad because like 40% of the time I'm not really doing anything there and don't think I should be paid for all those hours by a woman living off social security. Having really bad anxiety doesn't help in the job search, either.
Despite that, I'm honestly doing all right. I have a lot of people I talk to every day, even if it's only online, and I'm starting a super duper part-time shift as a dishie in a really nice cafe. It's only a couple hours a week, but it'll be nice to have nonetheless and maybe I'll feel less anxious about applying for another part-time job to make more than pocket change once I get the experience in. We're all gonna make it, bros.
My favorite Pokemon is actually Golurk, but I like this picture of Kingler.
