Breaking the Loop | "I'm tired of it!"
Every day, I get up and go to a job that I do like, but it feels like I’m stuck in a loop. I like what I do, teaching and helping others, but it’s starting to feel heavy because of all the worry and stress that comes with it. When I got to take a break last week, it made me see how much I want a simpler, happier life where I can do what I love without feeling squeezed by deadlines and surrounded by negativity.
I love helping others learn and grow in different ways, but I wonder how long I can keep going like this. I dream about having days where I can just wake up and do what I love, with no stress, no mean people, no rushing, and no worrying about money. My family thinks I should be happy and grateful because I have a steady, government job, but inside I feel trapped. I just want to be free and be myself, but it feels like I’m torn between what everyone else wants and what I really want.
I’m at a point where I’m starting to see there could be a different, happier way to live, where I could do what I love and feel at peace. It’s scary to think about changing, but I want to find a way to live where I feel happy and true to myself every day, not just sometimes. I want to break free from what’s expected and find my own path, even if it’s unknown and full of challenges, to live a life where I’m really, truly me.
