end) the only thing i’m working on is myself. i want to arm my spirit and mind with articulation, courage, and peace. i’m tired of being at the brink of tears every day missing the years i used to have time for my friends and my family being confident in my future. i’m too tired…

hey there everyone. i just want to admit how tired i am today. while the election in the US has a part to play in the atmosphere, at this moment…i’m tired of the fight i’m facing at this moment and could use some community 😪 (1/2)
,
Heard / felt / resonated / angered / depressed…I feel this entirely. I guess my question is what does community look like for you right now? How do you want supported to be supported by a community?
I think being recognized and heard was a big thing for me 🖤 I never feel safe to share these thoughts on LinkedIn or Instagram because the platforms are so culturally misaligned in sincerity. I’d want to chat more often with other creatives about what they’re experiencing.
This is the kind of stuff I WANT to discuss in the weekly hang but maybe isnt the right format because of volume. I don’t care about the next big thing or the latest blah blah, I want sincerity in experience. I wont be there this week, but next week I will be.
(2) these last couple months i’ve been managing working between my day job as a web designer to support my goal of getting a full time role in product design. every week that passes, i’m more depressed than the last, seeing what i’ve sacrificed to be proactive and help others.
3) what carried me into this industry and generally to be a caretaker of creative decision making, work with those that care about the craftsmanship that go into making good decisions. and yet as i build myself up to make a portfolio that i’m proud of and can foster connection…
4) the truth stutters from my mind, in the jobs that offered a job that never existed, hazed me out of a job and gave me COVID, discriminated me because i didn’t look like them and was not what they expected…it’s all begun to make me confused what to possibly say…
5)…when people ask, “how do you see yourself as a capable part of our team?” ironically, i feel as though i’m brimming with so many ideas and powerful ideas to create. but until i feel as though i’ve been provided some time to become stable minded. i’m not making anything else.
