some part of me really wishes I actually chose to do social work because...

it would probably have cracked my egg way sooner

it would help with the number of stray cats/catgirls I've talked to that's jumped to the 'i wanna kms' side of things

it would have helped with the number of children that have straight up been abandoned by their parents or were put in a state of neglect. this is in a city where children are legally mandated to care for their parents; parents often just feel entitled to their children's attention and affection and do nothing to engender said attention or affection.

the city's social support is shit and while there is a rising number of queer social workers the system is overstrained

#cw suicide #at some point in my life - after i feel like my career in journalism is done - i might actually end up getting a couple of qualifications #in social work or counselling just so i can help folk #but rn life's a bit complex #I can't do much to help this poor little self-professed nijika #except point her in the direction of a family service centre #because to be honest leaving an abusive relationship is a costly task ANYWHERE #so much for the 'family as a basic building block of society' fuck you lawrence! bitch #ralsei rambles
