Like I am jealous of people who get everything handed t them, and I’m not talking about just money, but like opportunities, and then at the same time I find myself stoked to work for a chance at an opportunity. Show my worth, if any still holds.
Have you ever looked at old pictures of yourself and thought: "Damn, people just let me walk around looking like that and no one said a thing" and then you look in the mirror and think: "Shit, it's happening again"
My advice for 2019 and onwards is use your sick days. Use your time off. Don't cancel your vacation. Stop volunteering to come in early or stay late. Stop making compromises for companies that'll just toss you aside like you didn't break your back again and again for them.
