It made me more frugal and wise with my money, it made me more grateful for my parents (I was living at home, like you, at the time), it made me value my true friendships (some toxic "friends" ditched me when they heard I had lost my job. Don't need them in my life anyway), and it led to meeting the love of my life. Things will turn up and you'll see. Just stay positive and keep your head up. Also, sign up for unemployment if you haven't already. It isn't much, but it does help.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012137571556614078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978837621824249352.post-30927770127076337912015-10-14T00:47:52.257-05:002015-10-14T00:47:52.257-05:00Speaking as someone who has gotten laid off 3 time...Speaking as someone who has gotten laid off 3 times, I know how hard it is.

But it's important to look on the bright side and see this as a blessing in disguise. Hopefully your next job will have a better commute, or be closer to Josh, or be something you're really passionate about; just a better overall position. If you ever need to vent about the job search process I'm always here; I feel like I've been looking for a new job since I graduated so I completely understand how much it can suck. And one tip, download the LinkedIn Job Search app, don't apply directly from it because it doesn't let you attach a cover letter that way, but use it to find jobs, save them, and then apply from your computer.

Kudos to you for being brave enough to write about it though. That's great that you decided to use this time to find yourself. That's really the best thing you can do. Learn more about yourself. Discover your passions. The possibilities are endless.

I know several people who have been laid off in the last year and it breaks my heart equally every time. I know there are better things out there for you, but that doesn't ease the pain of rejection or loss. I'm thrilled to hear how positive you are now and really am optimistic that you'll find something even better moving forward. I'll be praying for you, and let me know if there's anything at all that I can do for you!<br /><br />xo.A Peachy Sonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755366092395773936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978837621824249352.post-39697037763222254562015-10-01T20:27:09.205-05:002015-10-01T20:27:09.205-05:00No worries, I'm jobless too and have felt the ...No worries, I'm jobless too and have felt the same way about supporting my dreams without an income at the moment.
