this is so creative, and ugh I feel you on the job search, it's absolutely demoralizing and dehumanizing. I'm sending you so much love and luck and hoping we both find better situations. until then, it's good to hear you've been able to write and create
Not me getting laid off at the end of June and embarking onto a spiral of existential crisis after almost a decade at a large tech company… Are you inside of my brain right now?! You’ve said everything I’ve been thinking for the last month and a half.
I love that you’ve written so much, regardless of job search status— I’m right there with you. Nothing on that front, but I’ve dived deep into poetry and have found myself happy here. I love this poem for each and every stab at the heart and “oof” escaping my mouth as I read.
Oh my gosh THANK YOU for reading and resonating with it! Sounds like it found you at precisely the right moment 🌸 it is such a strange cocktail of like, confusion and grief but then also love-giving space and time to reconnect with passions.. so disorienting but also a gift! Sending you all the best vibes for your new chapter 🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻
I FEEL this…I feel this in ways I’m not even at liberty to say. Keep searching for something that actually suits you (we know damn well writing does!). Lately I have these lyrics from “Pillar of Davidson” by Live running in my mind often: “Warm bodies, I sense, are not machines that can only make money.” Also NO PRESSURE but you should listen to that song. Speaking of going through every emotion!
Oooh I will definitely give that song a listen!! And I’m so happy you feel this piece 💗 what a strange society we live in, everything about it feels so odd to me hahaha ESPECIALLY sending out resumes and cover letters.. distilling a human experience into bullet points idk feels ICK
