So, I've been pushed to join Steemit by a good friend of mine since he knows how badly I have been struggling to find work and earn money. I'm a 20 year old female and what my friend doesn't know is that I'm currently 9 weeks pregnant, which is making my job search that much harder.
Who on Earth would really want to hire a person going through their first trimester of pregnancy? Continuous morning sickness, fatigue, abdominal pains, food aversion and the list just keeps going on. With all of that happening to my body I'm still willing to try and find a job no matter what it is.. but no one wants to hire.
So I thought, fuck it, why not give Steemit a go.
Now I know what I would write about is nothing similar to what I have seen on here already, and I'm not sure what the audience is on here that would even be remotely interested in what I have to say, but all I want to know is, how do people do it. How can they go through life so happy when everything has gone to shit. Pregnant or not, I live in a city in Australia that has a 25% unemployment rate last time I checked, and to get help with finances from the government you have to be over the age of 25 to be classed as an independent even if you have lived out of home since you were 15; they still believe your parents can provide for you.
My parents are not interested in helping me in any way. No job, struggling to make rent, no luck with job hunting, needing a new car for when the baby arrives because my car isn't even in good enough condition to be roadworthy.
I just want to know how everyone does it. How can you go day to day with so much hope, when you're unemployed. Even the people that have no reason why they can't get a job, just can't seem to get one, everyone wants someone with experience, and with 25% of your towns population being unemployed you can bet your ass that there will be one person that has just a little bit more experience than you.
I realize I've kind of just rambled on about how life can completely suck and can be hard, but then things like this happen.. a website that gives you hope that maybe you might be able to make some income to better your way of living by talking to people and trying to see if there is anything that you have in common with them, I mean, other than being a female and being pregnant, I'm an obsessive player of League of Legends. That game is my life I swear. I'm a netflix binge watcher, and I have two gorgeous huskies that I love giving my full attention to each and everyday.
I just want something that I can fill my days with and I think I may have found that: writing on Steemit.
I hope I wasn't too much of a whinging baby on this post because that's exactly what I'm gonna have to deal with in early March next year, but please let me know if this is completely inappropriate for this website.
Thank you.
