• Time for miracles.

  

  I liken my current job to a 'Chris Brown-Rihanna' kind of abusive relationship. The job being Chris Brown, and me being Rihanna - 

   

  You meet for the first time, and you're quite apprehensive, but then you fall head over heels in love with him. You have so much hopes and dreams for your relationship and immediately, you are willing to invest 110%. You work hard. You do. You give and you give. Then one day, he hits you. 

   

  And you think it's just a setback. You forgive him and you go back. But then he hits you again. And again. And again. Very soon, you're covered in bruises and the whole world can see. But you love him. So you go back. You keep going back. And you keep telling yourself that things will change, that eventually he will stop hitting you and you will live happily ever after. But then he hits you again.

   

  Unlike Rihanna though, you've finally had enough. You realise that he's never gonna change. For as long as you stay by his side, dependent on him, he will keep taking advantage, and he will keep beating you to the ground, making you feel worthless and small. Is he worth it? You question. 

   

  If he can't change, then maybe it's time you make the move. Maybe it's time to take yourself out of the equation. You have too much self-worth. You're young and capable. Surely you can find someone else out there who appreciates you and deserves you, and will treat you better? You don't know. You can only hope, and take that gamble. 

   

  So what do you do? 

   

  Sigh. Time to go job-hunting. 

   

   

  (This post is a metaphor about my job. I am NOT in an abusive relationship with my boyfriend.)
