Personally, I think your reaction to the disappointment of not getting the job you most wanted is, well, kinda heroic. It's certainly practical and pragmatic, which is the kind of reaction anyone grounded in reality would have.
Happiness is a choice is one of those aphorisms that sounds good theoretically but practically speaking is hit or miss achievable. I put it in the same category as "you can't love anyone unless you love yourself". BS Maybe I'm taking both of those sayings too literally.🤷🏼♀️
Sometimes you do what you have to do, like it or not, which is the choice you've made. I applaud your estimable character and have a lot of empathy with your situation. You won't be that Walmart cashier for very long, I guarantee it. I'll tell you why. Because you won't give up.
Happiness may be a choice, but conditions are not. I can truly relate to your difficulties. I spent YEARS working wage jobs (warehouse worker, administrative assistant), trying to apply myself to recovery and to the strange world of normal life, which I had never before had much interest in. I was even one of the unfortunate young men who stand in the Wal Mart aisles and attempt to sell phone and internet plans to folks walking by (I know they're annoying, but please be kind to them).
For a LONG time (nearly two years) I lived in my car. Nevertheless, I was happy during most of that time, because I knew that better opportunities would appear eventually, if I did my best every day. Eventually they did. I also understood that my situation wasn't too bad. I could go outside. I had sufficient food. I had access to books and opportunities during the day (after work) to read them. I was healthy and not in prison and in touch with friends and family. I told myself that I had it pretty good, and I truly felt that way (most of the time).
Now I have a home and a dog and a wonderful professional job.
Your life course is no doubt different, and your challenges are too, but you won't be behind the register forever. Soon you'll be back to tending your farm full-time. Until then you have the opportunity to spread some happiness in the wider world, even if it's just pretend. Pretend friendliness is still friendly!
Having worked for Walmart 2x many years ago, I can confidently say, I think Everybody is too good to work at Walmart- but that is my personal opinion🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ I completely get how U feel about the whole subject, and I will say having had the same experience in many different ways- it's a redirect. The job U thought was perfect, is not for U because there's something else about it that U cannot see. U will always be lined up in the right direction- maybe a Customer or Coworker will be an unknowing guide to show U the door that U are meant to step thru, & the only way for U to meet them is by being in the right place at the right time so your paths cross.
Sending U Mad Love & Blessings🥰🥰👑👑❤️🔥❤️🔥☯️☯️🧿🧿👁️
You have to do what yah gotta do .I admire your steadfastness in that situation I can’t say that I would have been so cool .I got fired from a job I desperately needed for insurance and income for my family . I was able to land another job for better salary and weekends off it was the best thing that ever happened to me you never know where your blessings come from they just come .Be Well
I hear you. I was in the same situation just recently and it was a job that would have been great. It paid well. It was in my field and I got an email saying I was in the final running and then I didn't get it. I was very upset too. Life goes on.
