I just got a new job. Started about 2 months ago. I'm basically a social worker that can give antipsychotic intramuscular injections every month. I work with street youth. and youth that used to be on the streets. i work with crystal meth addicts and sex workers and folks that live in the cold under the bridge.
its amazing work, but i gotta keep reminding myself to stay grounded and compassionate. to not just look to the next form to fill out or next assessment to complete. to actually sit and learn and experience for a moment what it means to really be with a person. to hear a person. in all their messiness.
its all that matters. its why i went into this field in the first place

to get out of my selfish little bubble and actually try and feel what its like to be human. by being with another.
