One step forward, two steps backwards ...
This week has been busy, but not as busy as the weeks to come. My schedule has picked up and I am working more hours and with more people. Don't get me wrong I LOVE working and it keeps me moving. The issue I have is working on the weekends. I am more than willing to work Monday-Friday from dawn to dusk. Yet, I am human and have a life as well, so for the most part I would love to keep my weekends free for myself and those in my life. I don't mind working the occasional Saturday, as we all need a little break from the everyday pace, but I am about to be 25 years old; when is it my time to start my life, find who I want to be in this world and what I want to do? I know what I do is short term (at least in my eyes), because I didn't go to school for five years to watch children who are not mine. Yes, I love what I do and it's good money, but I want something more constant. I also have a few things as to why I won't leave right now either, so I am happy I at least have work. I am happy over all with where my life is heading. I am just stressed out that every time I try to do something "great" for myself it is not liked by others. I don't know I suppose it's just life ...

I would call it more "Two steps forward, One step back." You've made a big leap in terms of hours you've committed to your job, and you'll be bringing in more money! You are meeting people, networking, and doing something that you enjoy - working with children. Sure, it's not what you want to do long-term, or at leats in this context; but it's something, right?
ReplyDeleteAlso, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of what you choose to do. You need to, first and foremost, take care of yourself. I've been telling you this for a while, now. It is your life, and you need to make sure you keep it on track. Once you are set, then you can begin to accomodate others' wants and "needs".
You will be just fine! Smile.
