Hello anxiety

Hello anxious, I’m everyone. I mean hello everyone; I’m anxious. If you know me well enough, you will know I am a strong believer in prioritising mental health, self-development and the like. I think putting up a front and just getting on with things can be helpful but, as I like to say, I’m old and dumb enough not to be kidding myself.

So why am I anxious today? I’m starting a new job. I spent the summer unemployed, and frankly, I don’t regret that. I came to a point where I knew I had to get back on the “employment” horse soon enough. Thankfully, a job came my way fairly quickly. All I had to do was hand out my CV to several places. What a novel concept. At the time of writing, I am starting tomorrow, and I am a little bit nervous.

The nerves are different these days. As I said, I am becoming more mature day by day. I know these feelings are only temporary and everything will be okay in the end. Writing this blog every day (mostly) has been great, but daddy needs to go earn some dough. I don’t have any children. It’s just an expression. I will not by any means be neglecting the blog now that I am working a real job. I am just in a new routine and have to figure it out. It won’t take too long. Life has taken me through a new rhythm, and I haven’t learnt the steps yet. That’s a funny metaphor for someone who can’t dance.

Do wish me luck on this new adventure. I am, at the end of the day, looking forward to this next step in my life. As my mother says, a job isn’t forever.

Thank you for reading. The weather is very bad today. I hope you are staying safe.

Thank you for your time.
