free but falling
so, i lost my job recently, due to conflicts with a bitchy coworker. unfortunately for me, she had the power to fire me, which she did with a sickening amount of pleasure and disdain. so, here i am, unemployed single mom, age 30. this shit is scary, but over the past week, i've had this strange sense of liberation mixed in with all the anxiety and self doubt. i'm trying to start my own business, which is something i've never done before but should've, only i held myself back because of fear. now is the time to be brave, have confidence and believe in my work. my patients and my friends do, so it's high time i jump on the band wagon and drive myself somewhere meaningful.

I can sympathize! I've been out of work since the end of May, for similar reasons. Luckily I qualified for unemployment, but it's not much. I'm a single mom, as well, so I understand your fears... but I also agree with Bonnie. If you've had a plan for a business for awhile now & the only thing that's been holding you back is fear, take that leap! You have nothing to lose. Good luck!

I'm about to be laid off, mainly because my job is seasonal. Unemployment here I come. Sorry to hear, your not alone.

Also, don't let the doubt get in the way of your magic. Some times we need to be lost, otherwise we can't be found.

Getting fired from my last job(in law) was the best thing that ever happened to me! I have been self-employed for the last 3 years and support my family, well. You can do it! Trust your heart and gut and do what you love. It does all fall into place. I'm sorry but "the man" can suck it. I hate how our society has put worth into corporations and passed by the magic and empowerment of community, putting guilt onto people like they are less than for wanting to follow their dreams.
