I genuinely don’t think I am built for work. Not that I’m lazy, and don’t want to do anything at all. Just that I don’t think I’m cut out to work the same job, day in, day out, x number of days a week.
Its soul numbing, its killing me slowly. I’m so deeply unhappy with working and switching jobs hasn’t helped.
I’m in what people would consider a reasonably good position, with a role that’ll always have me employed on comfortable money, but its SO boring.
What if I want to wake up one day and just study something that I’m interested in? Or spend the day at the park with a book? Or volunteer at the local shelter or soup kitchen? Or run an educational programme at the zoo? Or volunteer on a project in costa rica?
I can’t do ANY of that whilst I’m trapped in a job, and being self employed requires even more work to keep your head afloat, plus the market is too saturated with every man and his dog decided to be an entrepreneur.
I mean everyone says this, but I’d love to win the lottery and not have to bother with work. Not because I want to sit on my ass all day and do nothing, but because I don’t want to sit on my ass all day. And that’s what a corporate 9-5 gives you.
