Need a Change
I am not an egotist however, when I look at time has done to my face and body, I get really afraid. I recently lost my job after 18 years of faithful service and have been searching for another one for over a year now. When people take one look at me, I can almost tell what they're thinking: what is her expiration date? I don't feel very much different on the inside. I'm intelligent, capable and can think circles around some the young people in charge who turn me down. It's really not their fault it's the culture that we live in that determines who is useful and who should be set aside. I didn't want to focus so much on physical attributes and give in to the shallow stuff however, I could use a little assistance if I'm trying to go swimming in the stream again. Even trying to because a self-employed individual in this economy requires confidence and good looks as determined by societal standards.
On my budget it's not easy keeping up. I've done some important things in my lifetime, like caring for 6 siblings while raising my own 2 but, seems like all that was a long time ago and counts for nothing these days.
Anyhow I'm still happy about who I am just wish that I could refine the visuals enough to get ahead just a little.
