Sense of Identity: Poof!
Hello,
Why is it that everyone defines me by my job and whether I have one or not? Why is it that every time I speak to someone lately, they ask me the same question: "Have you found a job yet?"
I haven't even started looking.
I hope that answers the question that you have either asked me or wanted to ask me. Is it so difficult to see me without a job? Without being a corporate slave that breathes advertising? In truth, I understand. It IS difficult. I agree. I find it difficult myself but I still haven't started looking.
I don't know if I'm waiting for a kick in the butt or if I'm waiting to see how long I can take without a job. I want to do something for myself, that will make money, but that will not force me to work constant hours with someone calculating how my skills will fit into the company's "bigger picture". I want to do something for myself, that will make money, but that will not force me to feel like I belong to a place even if I do really feel I belong. I do not want to belong to a job or a group of people. I want to belong to me. I want to prove that "me" is actually bigger and better to me than the concept of "us" in the workplace.
P.S. I'm having a party during the day and you're all invited. Oh no! You all have jobs? I'm so sorry you can't make it.
