It's been a month

I've had a rough month. It started with my parents being involved in a serious car crash and moved along to me finding out I would be laid off to getting laid off unexpectedly early. I am unemployed and looking for work. This is not meant to be a case of 'poor me.' I've been unemployed before and know I will make it through all of this, one way or another. I know I am good enough to do plenty of things for some lucky future employer. But the perils of unemployment are a lot to bear. Not having money isn't even the worst part. The feeling that sometimes comes over us of "WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!" when we can't find a job is worse. We sometimes sit there praying the phone will ring for an interview or offer.

The most important thing is to never give up faith or hope because the second you do this, it's like being trapped in a whirlpool while hanging on to a bar and then letting go. Once you let go, you've let go. Always stay strong and believe you'll be able to get by. This is how you hang on and not let go, no matter how tired your arms are feeling.
