You made it to your College Graduation and you're happy while typing your status in Facebook saying; "Welcome me to the real world." After posting that,you'll sleep with a big smile on your face and wake up the next day with such excitement. You prepared your resume that you kept since your second semester in fourth year college has began, you took a bath and wear a semi-formal attire 'coz probably you're ready for a job application. Luckily your name was called and the employer told you that today is your final interview. Another big smile for that. You went home and hugged your Mom 'coz finally, you're hired!
I wish that scenario is the "reality". For some lucky people it may happen but it is not for everybody. Take note that I don't mean to say that all the jobless people here are unlucky, but just think about the scenario up above, you yourself would also say that a person is lucky if he has encountered the same experience.
Most of the fresh grads like me is just in their house making pancakes and coffee every breakfast, opening their Facebook everyday and just waiting for our parents' go signal if you can go or not (to whatever it is).
There are few things we (jobless) ,are thinking if we are alone and I bet everyone does.
First, What am I going to do tomorrow. If your day was boring and it all happens everyday, you'll think of some ways to make your day productive but the problem is---What ways? Of course you're in a blank state of mind 'coz all you wanna do is have some job but unfortuately, you can't (coz of personal reasons of course). Not just that, your daily routine is already stoned in your life history since it is repeatedly done day by day.
Second, Is it really okay if I am not working for money?
Of course after all the thinking about what you gonna do tomorrow, you'll make your way to make you feel better of yourself. You'll review your yesterdays and answer your own questions since you know you have personal reasons (that I don't need to tell everyone 'coz you already knew it). When done, you'd feel better.
Third, What is my self worth? It is the hardest question I guess. Right now that I don't have a job, I don't feel pity to myself but just a bit of discouraged (Maybe? Oh sometimes) and a little bit annoyed to some people who were repetitively asking "what/where is your job?" I feel like I always need to explain my side why I don;t have a job at this point in time. That feels weird but it's automatic, (yeah i always need to explain coz if I don't, random questions and interrogations of not having a job will soon to follow)
Fourth, I need to have a business.
You want some money and you are desperate so that it's another idea for you. Buy some lemon and sell some lemonades or collect empty cans and paint it different colors, sell it and bingo! Pennies all the way! But seriously, i think we need to be creative and resourceful on this part coz I know some people who are not employed but earning money making giveaways and etc. I see you're curious right now. (Smiles)
Fifth, Meet my friends wherever they are. I am always thinking about this thousands of times since April 2013. Sure it'll be fun but I don't have money to go round and round wherever my friends are. Clouds don't rain coins so I better be staying at home and eat.
Sixth, Stay awake all night and wake up 12NN. Since we're jobless here, we wanna make the day run fast like open water faucet. We'll even ruin our body clock to make the time faster. How I wish rotating my clock's hands myself will make the magic but I guess not.
In some points, sometimes, we need to be "jobless" to be dependable. And I know some of you guys are happy being jobless 'coz we are never the reason of our Mom's headache and hypertension. Adios. :)
