My family keeps pestering me to get a job. I know... I really want to move out again, too. 589Please respect copyright.PENANA3XY49arUPv

But the thing is... I'm worthless to companies. The economy is declining, so of course competition will be more intense.589Please respect copyright.PENANAGgPshBrC5M

And all this reflects in my digital interviews as well. I get choked up, and mess up multiple times.

I wish I could be happy without needing that money and status. Be fulfilled. Content.589Please respect copyright.PENANAroKB8nx4m6
