 W O R K

Almost everyone in the world has one. Or, has had at least one in their lifetime. Waking up early or getting home late becomes a routine you follow day in and day out. Even as young as fourteen, childhood comes to halt when work comes into play. Better yet, maybe becoming your own boss is in your future instead.

Though working is not always great. There can be rude customers that make you feel small. Coworkers might not always have that same bright smile that you process each day. Looking forward to the weekend has never looked so good when a rough shift ends. Being your own boss can ease the pressure of work place drama, but can lead to self-doubt instead. Though, that's a problem with work on all its own.

Jobs don’t always work out, though. Even with working hard each day, or striving to prove yourself to the higher-ups. Working can be a fear in others’ eyes as any day could be your last clock out. Losing that stability can be one's greatest fear above all else. Scary, I know, but sometimes the worst outcomes can lead to greater achievements. 

No matter what happens. Layoffs, bad economy, quitting, or as worse as being fired. These are not the end of the world. Though working might not thrill everyone. One job might lead to becoming a CEO of your own company. Quitting one job might lead to another working out better. One choice is never wrong. 

Despite how it looks in the beginning, what matters is how you got there in the beginning.

Never underestimate someone who you know. Never let something make you think otherwise about them. If you do, there could be consequences. One person, maybe two. You never want to know how being hurt feels, until you do.

Hurt can be on physical or mental levels. It can be when you least expect it. Or, maybe it can be when you have a second to think. Honestly being hurt seems like one of the aspects of life that almost everyone has in common. No matter how much they don’t want to. 

No one can help how they are going to feel. Even when they want to think that it isn’t their fault. When someone is hurt, it is very common to take blame on yourself before them. Never let this happen. Take that blame, and put it where it belongs to be. 

Getting over this feeling, it can take time. Everyone is different, which allows for them to heal differently. The truth is, you are going to get over it. The feeling will go away. Though when it does, it could be too late after all. 

It doesn’t matter who hurt you or broke you down, what matters is who made you smile again.
