Trying to keep my hopes up

[matrixrefugee]

Inventory night, and I think I need a break from work. The question is, if I can afford it. Money isn't much of an issue, as much as my sanity is. And frankly, the environment at work is toxic. People lately, co-workers and customers alike, seem whinier than ever, and I really am tired of hearing about everything that's wrong in the universe, when I have enough of my own darkness to deal with. When I just want to hear about something good and uplifting. I come home from work feeling like I've been crawling through raw sewage. A fall of snow can give me reasons to be joyful, but that joy is soon destroyed under a barrage of howling from people who seem to have forgotten that childhood feeling of glee...

I don't feel like I'm meant for this world, and I wish I could find one where I fit...

But I have one thing to be happy about: My draggies hatched in the night!

I know it's hard--sometimes things seem to be pressing in closer and closer on one--and it all feels quite wretched. But hang in there, though I know life can be so tough--and sometimes you feel like there's never really a place where you "belong".

sorry to hear work is rough. This time of year is brutal for that.
I know what you mean about feeling like you belong on another plane some times, I do too.

I can relate.

*hugs* I've felt as if I didn't belong here my entire life, and I suppose I never will. Still, I'm glad you're here. I've said this to other people, but it makes it no less true for you: this rotten old world is a fairer place with you (and others) in it.

That's a very thoughtful and kind thing to say, and it's something I'll try to keep in mind... Thank you!

Hee, one reason I read as much fantasy as I do...

I personally feel it helps soothe out all the frustration I build up.
