My family keeps pestering me to get a job. I know... I really want to move out again, too. 517Please respect copyright.PENANAv8vhp3VoGt

But the thing is... I'm worthless to companies. The economy is declining, so of course competition will be more intense.517Please respect copyright.PENANAQPM1BTTLIX

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.517Please respect copyright.PENANA5CZxjT0sxw
