Trying to find your identity apart from what you do can be a really weird thing. Our culture puts A LOT of emphasis on your job (which is really interesting considering lots of people are out of work), if you have a degree in something, if you are working in the field you went to school for. Even at interviews, I've been asked "Why aren't you working in your field?" Uh, you tell me. But I've been to TONS of interviews, put out applications, etc. It's ridiculous. And if people treat you like "well, you must have done something to not get the job." I don't know what, but I'm trying. And I'm trying not to take things personally.
I lost my job about a month ago (no, really, it's ok, it was a horrible job)so I've been home a lot more. I have a lot more time to reflect, read my bible, spend with my husband and focus on some other things I enjoy doing (not just hair)
I'm really thankful for my husband, he knows I've been putting out resumes, and trying my best. He's not pressuring me, and he understood the situation at my job. I can't say the same for some of my friends. I know that this life is temporary, and instead of being sad, and wasting time, I am going to try to use this time for something good.
