Today, I learned once again why I am still jobless. I talked to a friend who already had a job, and they told me they fell behind when they saw me doing so much.

I spoke to another housemate who was also jobless. She said, “I don’t really understand why those who already had jobs felt peer pressure. If I were them,

I agreed. I would just be chill under the sun like the Teletubbies. BUT all of a sudden, it hit me why we were still jobless till now. All of my friends, including my intense housemate, already had jobs, but they still wanted to work more. For instance, some of them sought out more hackathons and projects to collaborate on.

Damn, but on the other hand, people like me, who aren’t as hardworking, are the real jobless people today. If I had gotten a job, there is no way that I would be in this hacker house, doing so much work and job searching. I would be doing yoga in India to uplift my spiritual self, and going to the Netherlands to bike and eat stroopwafels.

All of a sudden, I realized “Is that why I’m in love with my ex who doesn’t really give a shit working”? (I used to be so confused. ) How does my work attitude relate to my choice of partners? Oh boy…
