I knew job hunting would be hard, but I didn't really see myself still without any good leads 4 months in. I've been trying so hard to work towards my future that I lost myself in the present. Job hunting has taken its toll not only on my bank account, but also on my relationships and my self esteem. However, I'm a firm believer in creating your own happiness, so I'm changing things up a bit.
I've been so focused on looking forward that I forgot to enjoy now. I'm living in a beautiful town, I'm healthy and I currently have 4 part-time jobs. I want to be happy now and as long as I can start supporting myself and paying rent to my generous boyfriend who has allowed me to live free at his house, then that is enough for me right now. Of course I want to keep job hunting, but not having my dream job right away isn't failing to me. Even if I have to take another internship with an agency here, I'm fine with that.
So for now I'm ok with being a caterer, babysitter, pet accessory store, freelancer. I'm still designing and expanding my portfolio and hopefully some paychecks will start coming in as well. I'm tired of putting my life on hold for my dream job. Instead, I'm gonna start living my life again knowing that the dream job will come when the time is right.
