EMERGENCY UPDATE - Life Edition · 6:02am Jul 27th, 2020
Okay, I'm still reeling from everything that happened over the past two hours, so I apologize if this feels like a rushed rant. I'm still wiping tears from my face while typing this.
Over the past four and a half years, I was working at a hotel as a night auditor a couple miles away from my apartment. But due to the rise of Covid and health regulations, it's been harder for me to keep a steady head while working night shifts. My city has a mask mandate, but barely anyone (including other employees) give much of a shit about it. And when I went to work tonight, and saw the lobby was FILLED with maskless people (with the evening shift girl not giving two shits), I ended up having a breakdown.
I've been wanting to quit my job for months, but never got the courage to do so because of financial insecurity. But alas, as of now, I'm sitting back in my apartment instead of doing the night audit.
For the sake of my mental and physical health, I'm going to try and dedicate myself to writing full-time as a means to keep a consistent source of income. I'm going to raise the price of my commissions, so it'll now be $15 every thousand words. I'm also going to be uploading more content to my Patreon page, so PLEASE consider following me there if you haven't already: https://www.patreon.com/TheVClaw
I'm trying my hardest not to feel too scared right now, and I want to know I'm doing the right thing for the sake of my health. So please spread the word and help me gain some more support in my writing. I really don't want to try and look for a new job in this environment, so I'm going to do my best to establish myself as a freelance writer.
We’re here for you, man.
Times like this, you need to think about your health first, whether it be physical or emotional. You made the right choice, and I hope you find success in the near future.
It's okay mate, I know how you feel. *hugs*
You will get through this. Please stay positive and think of the time when this will all be over. You'll be able to get back on track with your life. As of now, relax, and try to breathe in and out slowly. Focus on the positive aspects of what you're doing now instead of the negative things that may or may not even happen to you. It's easier being said than done. I know that. But once again, you'll get through this, and it will get better.
Damn dude that’s ruth. Assholes just won’t wear a mask. Hope this works out for you my dude.
To the author - Holy shit! i'm glad you're okay.
it must've been very difficult to leave your job...thankfully you have a back up plan
p.s: just some rl stuff/news i missed my sixth year anniversary being at this site cause of my laptop going through a new browser which sucks by the way and absolutely hate with a passion! made some headway on cash for a new laptop (ten bucks selling blank dvd cases) i'm going my ps2 games and broken ps2 system to lukiegames.com next.
also deleted the page for love between brothers cause i just couldn't keep it up when there's no story or chapters to show.
