I thought I’d Work For ***holes Forever Until I Gave This Up
Changing your life is serious sh*t
I dropped out of University twice because I’m a rare breed.
Ambitious? Sure. Capable? Oh yes. Tired? Very much so.
I was tired of trying and failing to build a career before I started properly.
I wasn’t cut out for the fight. And you need to be able to fight.
Every moment felt like it was do or die.
If I don’t get this internship, it’s over.
My expectations were always low, and any rejection would destroy me.
University and the following years were a fight for survival I wasn’t equipped to face.
At first, giving up felt like acceptance, and I thought I’d find peace with that decision.
My parent’s suggestion of working in a warehouse replayed in my head repeatedly.
So that’s what I did.
Until one day, I woke up to a new reality. I’d betrayed myself by giving up.
It was time to do the hard work and build myself back up.
Detached not stuck
For the longest time, I felt stuck in place.
