Right now, I’m working at a job that pays me much less than my last one. Nearly 70% less. Honestly, that’s a big drop. I didn’t plan for this. I was looking for something that paid at least the same or just a little less. I waited, applied, waited again… but nothing happened for a long time. So, I finally accepted my current job.
Am I happy? In some ways, yes. I’m busy, I’ve stayed active, and I’m building new connections with people. These things matter too. But if we talk about money no, I’m not happy. It’s hard to see your value drop so much.
Still, I always tell myself: If you fall from a height, at least stand up don’t lie on the ground. Life moves forward, and so should we. Maybe this job is just a step in the journey. For now, I’m standing and that’s what counts.
