It’s unfortunate that I think a majority of my problems could be resolved by financial stability.

I’m lucky enough that I am financially stable enough to pay my rent each month, but I believe I would be happier if I was able to have some extra spending money for fun as well. Not having to budget, be able to move wherever I want – not based on price, being able to have a dog. These are things that are tied to financial surplus. I want to be able to live in a beautiful home. I want to be able to afford and care for a dog. I want to be able to take time off without worrying about damage to my income. I’ve also been thinking about doing a PsyD program in Forensic Psychology, but again, the hindrance is money. The length of the program, 4-5 years, is only a problem because of money. The ability to focus and attend the program is based on my free time, which wouldn’t be a problem if I could take 4-5 years off a full time job and be able to still afford necessities.

I’ve considered quitting my full time job and just doing dog walking/sitting gigs for money, but I’m too afraid that it won’t be enough and that when I do try to get a full time job again, I won’t have any luck.

After my string of interviews the past two weeks, things have gotten quiet. I just hope that whatever falls in my lap cultivates happiness and peace.

Everything happens for a reason. Remember that.
