I feel like we often do 🤔 Celebrities publicize their newborns and children. Those children are then pushed into it/take up whatever their parents became famous for and might also find fame… Which is kind of unfortunate in some ways due to how exploitative the entertainment industry is to children.
Ironically so relate 🤭 Worked at my previous job for like 10+ years, transitioned and went through maybe a month of clunkiness at work before they downsized our team and I no longer had a job. Kind of was a blessing outside of the income anxiety 😵💫
If you haven’t already, I would suggest looking into FODMAP. It’s not necessarily a diet, but more focuses on different molecules/carbohydrates that our bodies may be sensitive to that are in a lot of the foods we eat. It took me a few months of super focusing on what I ate and how I felt after to identify that I was sensitive to very common foods/ingredients (e.g. garlic, onions). If you eat something and feel gross, bloated, cramping, etc, you’re probably sensitive to something in that food. Fortunately, you can work around some of them by cooking/preparing an ingredient to breakdown wherever you’re sensitive too!
One of my best friends works for a language program at one of our large colleges/universities… The money and funding situations our educational institutions are under right now is abysmal. They’ve almost lost their job multiple times the last two years due to lack of money for programs like theirs. Each time they were briefly saved by their program being absorbed into another department or shuffling them around… And it’s pretty much happened again - unless there’s any big changes, their program is going to be cut and the few remaining people are going to be unemployed. The thing that has been most frustrating is the giant disconnect between leadership and what these various programs actually do. Old information is being handed around as current, people who aren’t even part of these programs are the ones representing them, and everyone at every level seems incredibly disorganized… All that said, your past may have nothing to do with your removal.
I’m sorry you weren’t provided any closure as to why you were let go :( and I’m even more sorry you’re now in a situation with so much financial burden. I would try not making assumptions… creating narratives that you can’t verify will cause you to spiral 🩷
