#the more things change the more they stay the same iggg

Anyone else feel like they’re repeating their life over and over again but just in different settings or is that just me
#Im teaching again and it’s surreal#cause. i did not expect to teach I expected to like. work in some big r&d lab#and idk how I feel about it yet#like yes I enjoy it but I’m one of those assholes who has to over analyze every possible life path#everything everywhere all at once vibes#the more things change the more they stay the same iggg#I just caught myself thinking of how to fix my lesson plan earlier and. that’s def not something I expected to think about ever again#it’s cool and all but I’m not designing revolutionary life saving technology and maybe that would be cooler#or maybe my mother is right and I’m just incapable of happiness no matter where I am or what I’m doing#there are days where I’ll just walk around staring at all the photography on the walls and the antiques decorating the walls#and it’s a very interesting anachronistic combination just because of the nature of the work#past and future superimposed on top of each other#and I’ll be like holy shit I’m HERE#this is EXACTLY what I wanted for like. over a decade.#and I’ll feel grateful#but also. things aren’t perfect there are SO MANY problems#and despite how well meaning people are and how much they care about the work#that’s not gonna change cause there is NEVER going to be enough money#but sometimes it’s hard to not see just the problems#and people complain SO MUCH about everything and it’s hard to not let that negativity overwhelm you#but also. the whole reason they complain is because they love this place and they want to make it better and focusing on just the good#won’t make things any better cause that’s not how it works#and the older more experienced folks keep saying that we’re much much more likely to end up killing someone#and that was fine in abstract. but it’s fucking terrifying the closer you get#i don’t wanna kill people#and that’s why I’m here!! to keep them safe but god there’s literally only so much I can do#sighh#I’m always waiting for the other shoe to drop and I wish I wasn’t#if u read this far thank u for listening to me ramble#sometimes I have far too much time to Think
