In this post and the linked one by Mandy, they go over how we can stay in bad situations far longer than we need. Change seems scary so we opt for the devil we know even though it’s actually keeping us where we are.

There’s a certain kind of masochism when you stick around in a shitty job or a shitty relationship, there’s this belief that you don’t deserve any better than what you’ve got.

I have no idea why I haven’t been looking for a job all this time but it’s time for me to seriously look for a new job. I’m fortunate to be in the position I’m in, especially given how volatile Zimbabwe is right now, but there are better opportunities out there that is worth the struggles of a job search.
