One of my favorite things about my job is that our office is actually a semi-stylized cabin, complete with a covered porch. So on days like today, when business is slow and the rain’s coming down, I can stand outside, take some deep breaths, and just enjoy the view for a while.

Moments like this aren’t particularly special, I guess, but they always leave me feeling at peace and happy to be alive, so I cherish them all the same.

#peaches screams into the void #fun fact #I took a 43% pay cut when I quit walmart and came here #needless to say I had. quite a few people telling me I was making the wrong move #but I firmly believe this job is in part what’s kept me alive this year. and I’m not talking about my paychecks #my already fragile mental health deteriorated so badly at walmart that it even affected my physical health #most days I’d spend any spare moment on the clock I got in a bathroom stall with a pair of scissors just trying to alleviate the stress #I’ve made leaps and bounds in working to improve myself these past months #and that’s a hell of a lot easier to do when your job doesn’t make you want to die y’know?#and that’s worth so much more to me than a bloated paycheck #…I mean it WOULD be nice if I could get paid more make no mistake 😂#but as it stands I call it a worthwhile trade-off
