How long is a quarter life crisis supposed to last???? Does it just linger indefinitely until you do something erratic???? Do you just lean into the uncertainty of your life's direction and then one day feel settled????
Today a kid asked me how many piercings I had and I showed her the ones on my neck while counting. She was not impressed (in fact, she was "disgusted") and said she "does not think Jesus was with me that day"
Kids really do say the darnest things
Some times I think "I don't think I have anxiety, I was just stressed" and then I use my "down time" to re-read every text from the last 5 months for the last 30 contacts in my phone to see if I said something wrong/ embarrassing that I previously overlooked
I am appreciative of everyone who was patient with me in learning/ growing to not be said garbage/ is still willing to check me on the garbage I carry as I certainly have a lot to learn and am open to it.
This week in social work:
+ was told by a family that I really helped them
- was told the sound of my voice makes someone want to put a gun in their mouth
+ got a promotion
Its all about balance
