What Is Your Worth?

Is your value as a person in the work you do? If not, what is your value?

Is it who you are as a human being?

Is it what others expect of you?

Is it the relationship you are in?

Is it in your children… or pets- is it the work you can produce… the art you can create?

Or is it none of that at all?

I have been so angry. I don’t do well being angry because I am inherently a peaceful and kind person. I am immensely frustrated. I have two part time jobs for the summer, because I’m a teacher and it’s often hard to find steady summer work. I mean, unless you want to do summer school, or spend weeks in the woods leading a summer camp, getting attacked by bugs, for minimal pay. None of those things are appealing to me.
