Idk if it’s just me or anyone else feels this but right at the start of covid my life was pretty chill. I am a ER nurse so yes things changed drastically. The burn out and stress was getting to be a lot. I started traveling and chasing a little money plus a change in environment. But the drive to keep throwing my self into the front lines of terrible conditions only intensified by the resounding F you by the public’s not only disregard for the virus but the yelling and disrespectful behavior every night.
Then I got into crypto. Putting away some money here and there. Then I had charts to look at, a sub to read and interact with to get my mind away from everything going on. It massively helped my motivation to work extra shifts and keeping making that fiat. It became oh this extra shift is an extra 500$ I can invest! It’s really been such a big help in my life for just finding a reason to keep going everyday. I’m hopeful for the future and glad I found a “digital” hobby to escape to!
Thank for existing crypto! I’ve enjoyed spending my down time researching new projects and working a few extra shifts to keep filling those bags! I really needed something to help keep me in the fiat mining mind set. I’m feeling much better about this keeping me going than the bottom of some bottle. Times are tough.
Edit: thanks for the support guys! Just want to mention that it’s not “just covid” it’s that my entire career and work environment has been changed forever. That was a big shock. At first we expected some changes thought short term. but at this point we are having the hard realization this is just how it’s going to be for a long time. Whether it’s covid or sweeping shortages or the trauma of a lot of folks rock bottoms being taken out on us. It’s just a very different career now. Now we have politicians coming for our pay checks the last thing keeping a lot of us in the field. Appreciate the support!
