It is sometimes hard to be honest, knowing there is the potential for many others to read your words but it can also help the writer in us too, to just get it out there. I'm always surprised that so many take the time to comment on particularly personal posts and often agree they have felt the same way about the issue at hand. Also being kind to ourselves is very important, that phrase pushing through concrete is so spot on!

It's like it sucked the marrow out of me and has made me not trust what other employers might be offering. Each time I think about whether to work or not I feel my gut start to clench.

Firstly, I hope things are feeling better, sometimes pushing through concrete has a way of bringing us down just when we feel like we have lifted our heads up. Everyone is going through something in their life, we often forget that when we feel most alone and isolated in our own troubles. It doesn't take our troubles away to know others have theirs too, but sometimes it makes the burden a little lighter. #convocoffee is back! I didn't know what it would take when Is topped posting my #convocoffee posts - but I am so grateful that this is the exchange, this is the moment that did bring it back xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08678887867911889293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-27752648600246824202016-06-14T16:29:48.772-07:002016-06-14T16:29:48.772-07:00I think that's the wonder of blogging - you ne...I think that's the wonder of blogging - you never know who will be reading what you write or when.
