Accepting The Way Things Are
From my personal experience
So, it’s been years (in Medium time) since the last I wrote on here and honestly, I’ve just been going through my own journey.
I was working a part-time job and put in my two weeks' notice. I then get a call from someone who works at a different location asking if I wanted to just switch to a different location instead of quitting.
I accepted the offer with an open mind. While in that job I found out the manager disliked me for no reason. It became an environment in which I didn’t feel comfortable in because of the tension for no reason, so I left.
I was unemployed for a few months until recently I found another job and I feel happier though, it is paying less.
Personal things have also made me to feel like I’m not doing enough for myself.
I feel like I’ve been living life of other people instead of myself. I’m currently in a situation where things are unpredictable and can’t be changed.
It’s lead me to coming to terms with the fact that I have to accept the way things are because it’s not my life. It took a long time to get here and I’m not really sure why I never realized it.
Accepting my current situation for what it is has caused me to have inner peace in realizing that it’s not my problem anymore. It’s finally time for me to live the life that I want to live instead of living the life others want me to live.
