Things are getting clearer

 I woke up happy in the midst of what could be serious emotional turmoil.

things that are happening at work are decidely unjust

but fortunately, this isn't the first time

fortunately, i've positioned myself well financially

and emotionally

the 2 places where it hurts the most

the more my numbers go up, the more confident i feel

and i can reframe my call center 3 experience in enough ways financially, where i still come up ahead

i want to fight back; i want to make them pay

but when this happened during pharmacy school my cries went unheard

so i have the data that this not a fight i can win...at least not that way

i can win by keeping myself safe

i can win by pursuing FIRE

i can win by commiserating

i'm so tempted to apply for paid family leave just to get back at them

but i will stick to what i know i can achieve

free paychecks

i'm such a small fish anyway

i'm just too awesome for people not to see my shine

i'm going to be okay friends

i always was...

i will say the mental load weighs me down quite a bit

so that simple things just feel like too much

like i can't switch off...

i'm so glad I found FI

i'm so glad i was able to stick it out and get more money

i wonder what my future life obstacles will be
