I Sometimes Fear Things Will Never Be Okay Again

This is as much as I think I dare say safely.

I have been trying to put on a brave face. Trying to pretend I’m not scared beyond my wits and feeling dangerously hopeless.

And so, I have been trying to hope for the best and believe my tragedies can become my greatest opportunities.

But I am very scared.

It’s content marketing, so there’s not much creativity or passion most of the time, but I felt it was interesting enough and of course, it paid the bills.

That’s what mattered.

And management cared. They said I could always come to them and talk about how much money I needed to make. They used to say that. Up through last summer.
