Journal Entry 1:
As I sit here, staring at my computer screen, I can’t shake this overwhelming feeling of being lost and disheartened. It’s been two long months of job hunting since I left school seven months ago, and all I’ve encountered is rejection after rejection. It’s making me wonder if all those years of studying were worth it in the end.
The fear of failure weighs heavy on my shoulders, especially when I think about how my parents see me as a letdown. I had high hopes that my degree would open doors for me, but now I feel stuck in this never-ending cycle of disappointment. What if I’m just not cut out for any of these jobs? What if I never find something that truly fulfills me?
I know I’m supposed to stay positive and keep pushing forward, but it’s tough when every door seems to be closing in my face. My therapist keeps reminding me that setbacks are just temporary bumps in the road, but with each rejection, it’s hard not to lose faith in myself and my abilities. It feels like the universe is conspiring against me.
But, I don’t want to leave this entry all gloomy. Despite everything, I refuse to give up on my dreams. I’ll keep searching, keep applying, and keep believing that the right opportunity will come my way. I won’t let fear and doubt hold me back from reaching my goals. Even though I may feel lost right now, I know deep down that with perseverance and determination, I’ll eventually find my path.
