This is pure wisdom at its best!!!

My job is terribly unfair, not as in like...uh... hmmm....

I work, literally, pacifying our elderly, over the phone, when they call rightfully angry or upset because the Medicare insurance company I work for denied or delayed their access to medical benefits.

I have to talk people off the ledge too frequently. Stay on the line, never hang up even when they may be screaming off the top of their lungs.

I struggle because I am the kind of person that truly wants to help, especially because of my background and my experience. But I struggle with my own health. I can't drive anymore, so I too work from home and this the one job I could find.

Before that, I used to work in State and County governments. Not the best places for a true bitcoiner & nostrich at heart, but I actually DID help people then.

I keep searching, just in case I find something that wouldn't abuse me as much. Some of my callers , the nicer ones are the ones I have trouble with. I don't want them to be in the pain they're in.

My pay is half what used to be at my job prior.

But... there is big BUT.

I am very hopeful because I am extremely imaginative.

I see and imagine a lot of things in mind's eye. So I draw.

It may take me a long time, but I want to go from here↓↓

Yes, that's quite "Fantastic" looking, but imagination can be that way.

I am hungry, people are hungry for beauty and optimism.

I have the worst job when it comes to optimism.

But I am not going to let that define me.

Dont let them take everything from you at work.

Keep some for yourself.

I shall definitely try!

I am, after all, The Glitter Maiden!!!!!

My job doesn't entail me saving anyones life and often feels meaningless, robotic, data driven and mundane.

I take opportunities where I can do brighten peoples lives.

I have stepped in to escalate someone who I thought was about to commit suicide and they remember and appreciate it to this day (not why I did it).

At the end of the day I feel like i work at the Pennsylvanian paper company but knowing I can spread light and positivity to those living in dark places is the soul food that keeps me alive and beating the system.

Stack sats and chill.

it's like the story about the girl at the beach and the starfish...

It makes a world of difference to the one... all it takes is one!!!
