I think the real fuck of it all is that you can work full-time and still not make enough to live on. What's even the point? I am in college now hoping that that will get me a good job. However, my mom has worked her ass off for so long with nothing to show. She works full-time and it's not enough. I have a part-time job and it's not enough. I am now looking for another job. My brother also has a job. So what? We'll all just work 1-2 jobs a piece to barely get by. This is so ridiculous.
I just stressed myself out over $12/hr (IN 2023!) because I had to call out. This job gives me one day a week. Why am I stressing about it? I had wisdom teeth surgery last week and my mouth still hurts and I can barely talk. Talking is essential in retail. Why am I trying to kiss ass to get by? Who cares about being a good employee when they don't care enough to pay you or give you hours?
I just want to be outside and see the world. I feel like an animal trapped in a zoo. Am I wrong for thinking we could go back to living like we did 10,000 years ago? I know right now is the best time for humans, but… I feel like we need to be outside more. We belong with nature. Okay, now I'm getting all hippy on y'all. Sorry!
