I have a friend. We chat every day. I really like her and I've always admired her for her dedication, determination, and discipline.
She has lost her fucking mind in the past year. She was at the same job for 9 years. For various reasons, she left the job and was given a massive separation bonus. She was in a big city at the time where she owns a condo.
She bought some POS house with the bonus in Toledo b/c that was "the best thing ever" for remodeling, her dream place, blah, blah, blah. Realizes she's in over her head in Toledo w/no support system in about four months, ends up donating the house to some charity.
Moves back to the small town in MO she's from, where she has an astoundingly shitty family. Seriously, if even half of what is coming out of her mouth is true about how these people treat her, I'd set myself on fire before going back to these people.
Gets job #1. Is applying for job #2 that seems like those once in a lifetime job opportunities. Stresses over it for 3 months until she finally wins it. Quits job #1, starts job #2. Hates it, quits w/in a month, moves back to big city.
Now, is looking for a job again. For various reasons, still doesn't want to stay in big city. So, looks at Salt Lake City, "it's the best thing ever," lists reasons. That was last week. This week, it's FARGO, ND, that's "the best thing ever", lists reasons.
It's exhausting. I'm done being supportive (this entire process has been a year) and I think she knows it. Our daily chats have turned into one-liners b/c I can't muster up anything at all. She needs a serious conversation with someone to do something, though I have no idea what.
