besides that, i got my degree and commence my singular year of grad school next month, then hopefully I leave the shithole that is MA, go somewhere more poppin, get money and learn how to be a functioning human being instead of hating everyone almost as much as i hate myself

congratulations!! from my experience, for some reason it emotionally feels a lot better to be employed than to be in school or unemployed. it eases a bit of the self-loathing to "feel like a contributing member of society" in a working capacity (this is probably just internalized capitalism speaking, but the feeling is real).

on a pragmatic level, employment leads to financial and lifestyle stability, which also feels really good. (compared against school or unemployment, where the year-to-year instability can grind against your soul). At any rate, stability in your life is a form of comfort, and if this stable state also makes you content and satisfied, that's a really good thing

EDIT: funnygurl I'm so proud of you, that's awesome.
