This morning, I thought about writing my experience with victimhood. Here I am, reading something much better than I have articulated inside my mind.
You mentioned a lot of points that I realized only from the last two years.
I am currently in the same situation that you faced. But, then I found the solution like you said.
desperate times call for desperate measures and my measure was to call upon my experience in work, business and life to cobble together something that I hoped would connect with someone.
I am still fairly young and my experience is limited. Even so, it's almost impossible for people to believe I've been working since age 10. Hence why, I never bother to look for a traditional job. I found myself immersed in online world because there is little to zero ageism.
Working online has never a pressure for me. Certainly I felt burnout once in a while but it never take me that long to recover. My motivation is fairly simple, trying to find my way away from corporate cog's life.
In relation to victimhood, there was one time, during my first year of university that I thought I was a victim. I was influenced by my peers that a woman I will never thrive in a patriarchal world. I stupidly let that narrative soaked in me until I was slapped with reality. As I started hustling again, all the toxic friendship I made were gone. I felt bad but now I realize, it was for the better.
As I began to take control of my narrative, things get better. Whether I am being a writer, dishwasher, street clearner, whatever it is, at least I know i will accept my life and try my best to quit complaining.
believing they have no control over their experience, which is the same as admitting that they have no control over themselves.
Sure, there are still difficult time but I am more accepting and I have more control over it. I have known what it's like to starve, to wait and have dreams taken away from me. I know what happens when I do nothing and now, I choose to do something.
Thanks for continually writing inspiring content on steem !
