Oh I Hate The Boredom…

Of Not Working

It’s been a couple of weeks since I left my job, and while the first week helped me recover from my mental fatigue, now I’m feeling something familiar and unexpected.

Boredom.

I Used to Live in Boredom

Up until embarrassingly recently, I would sit at home, bid on editing gigs, hoping to get one, and hoping people would pay for my writing.

And honestly, it would be awesome to make at least $200–$500 a month between all my writing platforms. But it’s also not a focus of mine anymore. So I’ll take my cents per month.

Now I Like Working

But now that I’ve tasted it, I like having somewhere to go, making money from it, and developing my skills as an adult.

Now, I don’t know what to do with these feelings other than apply for jobs (which I am doing), and it makes me agitated.

How did I live in the boredom for years?

Hopefully, I’ll Find Something Soon

And something fulfilling and sustainable for me. And if you’re in the same situation as me, I wish the same for you.
