I can so-o-o relate to this, Ana. I, too, am looking for a job. Have been for months and, even though I know I am the perfect fit, I get the same AI response. And, I'm, like, what the actual ... you know. Did a human even read my resume and cover letter that I took days to prepare? It seems not, nor did a human write the rejection email. Is the entity really seeking to hire or are they just getting free advertising for their business? I get to the point where I wonder why bother? Maybe someone out of the blue will just discover me and beg to hire me. But, I go on, because I need to earn the money to pay someone to mow my lawn before the weeds get too dense. And, then, it's my age -- 83. Who wants to hire an 83-year-old? But, I have to work. Luckily, I found someone to help me create a resume that makes me seem half my age. I just had to leave out the 65 years of experience I offer. Wishing you the best. With your talent, let's hope an actual human will find you soon.
Wow Samantha! 83 and looking for a job. I do really hope you find something you truly love, and get to work with PEOPLE who appreciate the effort. And that you get to see a lovely lawn… or let it grow… one man’s weed is another man’s rose. A big hug of encouragement from here, this is not an AI generated message.
This almost makes me want to try running... almost. Moving to escape the mind is possibly the best thing I learnt in my late 20's. And I have never related more to seeing those photos of a child self, so radiant yet so blind.
As someone who hates running, if I read something about running and it makes me want to go for a run, you can consider it a success.
Try ‘What I Talk About When I Talk About Running’ by Haruki Murakami. You'll find his running song recommendations too!
I will! Thank you Elsa.
So, did you get the trainers on?
I went for a walk, that’s half way there, right?
75% You got this.

Thanks for the support and hug, Ana. The same back to you. I know you're not AI generated. 😊 That is obvious. Too much compassion.

I recommend starting, albeit slowly to avoid hating it right off the bat. Thanks for dropping by Evelyn.
