It’s great that your parents are so supportive. Mine are always telling me to go ask for a raise. My aunt also tells me to ask for a raise so I can buy her a vacation. Hah family can be strange sometimes.

G’day,
Have you tried filling in some time as a volunteer? I think you’d be very encouraging and motivating if you volunteered with some refugee or women immigrant groups? They always need someone who’s bilingual and multi-cultured

As for money/employment – why don’t you do some light work, like in the retail business, just to get some coinage in your pocket!

Good Luck! as we Arabs say – elarzaq bi yed allah (Sustenance is blessed by God)

You described the similar thing I want… I believe in making your own dreams come true.
Hugs and kisses.

I have finished university recently, so there is a lot of focus on ‘getting a job’. But I started to write online, managed to pick up a few freelance jobs and paid blog posts, but you are right – there is so much more to having a job. If you are not in desperate need of the money to pay the bills then I think it is a blessing to have the time to learn about yourself, which is what I am trying to do too when I do have that time. Good luck!

I can truly understand you. I was in the same situation, the job drove me nuts and I haven’t been myself anymore until I realized the job isn’t everything. I quit, and it was a really hard time. Slowly it’s getting better also if till now I haven’t fully “found myself”. But there are things in life which are taking a while, and things which take a while become best, or?!

Just relax and take your time, don’t think too much. It’s great you are having supportive parents who aren’t unhappy about your decision, this makes everything a whole lot easier I think. And I don’t mean about the money.

Maybe one day you will publish your book and it becomes a bestseller, maybe you are getting employed soon, nobody knows. Just keep in mind to not give up yourself!

(I am telling all this myself every day, LOL

Good luck and Take care.

I totally understand. I left my steady job for the same reasons. This is a learning experience and you will go out better on the side.

I love your blog, by the way.

I am sure you will write an excellent book and I will probably be one of the first to buy it when it comes out at Chapters.
