Happy Tuesday!
Hello, hello, hello, and happy Tuesday! Today is a new day to be able to focus on what really matters in life, which again, for me, is faith and family. Yesterday I went through something that I thought I would be traumatized about for a while. I no longer feel that way. Instead, I feel blessed beyond belief.
Today’s Poem
Today’s poem is about… you guessed it- quitting my job! It was very short-lived. I went to work for three days and quit during my lunch break yesterday. I couldn’t handle being around all of the people, and I couldn’t handle hearing that only after a short while I would be left to fend for myself and figure things out on my own. I had a panic attack in my car during my lunch break, told my husband, and he said he supported me with me wanting to take off and never return.
I called my boss and politely told her I couldn’t come back, and that I couldn’t handle all of the people with my debilitating social anxiety. I told her that I wanted to go back to the healthcare field, where I had worked for so many years (over 15 years ago). My boss was very kind to me, and I truly appreciated that.
I thought I was a failure at first, but now I see that it was meant to be.
I hope that if you are feeling like a failure in any way today, that you can possibly see the other side of the coin, and realize that you can soar above the feeling of failure and achieve more than you thought you ever could. 🙂
I hope you enjoy today’s poem!
I Quit My Job
Sometimes we are humbled when we least expect it
Sometimes we fall down when we thought we were stronger
Sometimes we start to cry when we thought we could control it
Sometimes things do not work out as planned
I thought I was ready to conquer the world
I thought my medication could save me from the world
I thought there was nothing that could hold me back in the world
I thought I could be finally comfortable within the world
But then I quit my job
Why did I quit my job, you might ask?
After such a short time, shouldn’t I have given it more of a chance?
I quit my job because I couldn’t handle it
And I am the type of person who will admit it
I guess that the job wasn’t right for me
I guess I cared more to be with my family
I guess that it made me start to see
How blessed, I am with less, already
It gave me a new sense of gratitude
It gave me more than I was expecting to see
It gave me a whole other part of me
It gave me the freedom to see what I needed to see
I quit my job, and now I am off to the next journey
Now I am glad that I quit my job, even though I thought I had failed
Now I am glad I quit my job, so I can accomplish what I was made for
Now I am glad I quit my job, so I can go back to what I used to live for
To take care of other people within this world
I quit my job
Until next time, stay safe, and be blessed!
