I've been working on healing myself from relationship trauma & abuse. I am no contact with most of my blood relatives; it's easier to admit to disconnect than to fake closeness. I have been distinctly working on having the best relationship I can with myself without outer interference. I love myself. I accept myself. I fuck myself. & I challenge myself to be the best version of me that I can. I've linked a CNBC article below with tips on how to maintain a healthy, functioning (romantic) relationship. & I want to implement that into my daily rituals because I am the most important relationship I will ever have & I want the best for me. I know that future lovers, partners, friends, peers, whomever will see the pricelessness in me & love the devious & naughty out of me. 😈🤟🏾

I realized recently how very few times I applied for a job online & got a job that I was actually looking for. Most often people met me in person & then recommended me for a position they have at the time. A direct relative referred me to a small position sticking shelves in a store. Another instance, I called ahead to schedule time to speak a manager in person who recommended submitting my application. & with that job, I was able to get promoted & move to another state to other locations through job transfers. & the benefits were pretty great at the time.
A friend talked me & someone else I knew into an insurance job which really didn't kick off for me personally. Also, I worked in event production after applying online through a job board for a different role with the same company. It was a messy adventure, but I did really like certain aspects. A different time, I was driving around (with my updated resume) & walked into a store, applied in person, & stayed there until I got recruited by a local TV station for a sales position. One time I met a man at a bar with his friends & he recommended me to a tour guide job he had at the time. Maybe it's my confidence, charm, & competence that let people know I should be working wherever they're working.
I had a marketing job selling solar panels which I didn't realize was a scam because I applied through a reputable job board & it was in a big "fancy" offices. Another summer job I had at a store which I went to a job fair & met with the leadership there & started working a week or two later. A clothing store I worked at after driving passed & stopping to speak to the owners as a walk in application & that worked. It kind of felt like luck at the time, but I also made sure to study & be prepared for speaking to all types of leadership across multiple industries. Never were they the best fit for me, but I have more distinct awareness of where I belong. How did you get your "best" job & what was it?

P.s. I want to be rubbed down with lavender & bergamot oil by balanced, steady hands.
