A Fresh Start
27 October 2020 17:26Well Hello there New Journal. Since my old one was hacked and I can no longer get into it. I figure it’s just as well. Wipe the slate clean and more forward. I have been in quite a transitional period as it is for a bit and the more I let go of the things in my past that anchor me down, the more I am able to put my energies into a more positive place.
Since Covid-19 virus I have seen a huge shift in my friendships and family contacts. I can understand the closing of ranks and keeping your own safe but at the same time I feel like people are also using the pandemic to shun people due to classism. Which is a very sad situation. People assume that because they have good paying jobs and live in the more elite sides of town that if you don’t fit into their world slowly phase you out. This has happened all to often as of late but to be honest I have made my peace with this. I unfortunately was one of the ones furloughed from the hospitality industry due to the virus back in March and surprisingly my family was able to make it through this challenging time by banding together and cutting expenses and focusing our funds towards the basics.
Fortunately I was able to locate a temporary position with full time hours and that job has now become a permanent position. There are so many positive things about this Job it is only a few miles from my home so no more driving on the interstate and paying $3-$4 dollars in tolls a day. I am only filling up my Gas tank one to two times a month. That alone saves me over $200 a month.
For the rest of the year I am going to continue with enjoying the holidays and spending time with those I love and making the best of this crazy situation. I am also going to continue working on me personally and keeping my head straight and my mental health together as best I can. Sometimes I have found my internal voice is so loud and thought I am learning to trust my instincts I don’t need any negative self talk.
