Hey @ENKELI ,
I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing added stress right now. Don't debt collectors like to choose the best time to chase people?
What field of work are you looking into (if you don't mind sharing).

@ENKELI everyone can be creative if you spend the time looking at art, textile art, architecture, haute couture design dresses, interior design.
1950s - 70s Architects were the designers of Mid Century furniture. We would have the concept of cantilever without them.
When I was doing archaeology field work, creativity is in grave goods. A loving made doll for a lost child, a beautifully carved comb for a wife or a beautifully embellished sword, hunting sharp pointy thing or shield for a husband or son.
Finding hand carved mother of pearl buttons and silver dress pins near a kitchen hearth, because it was the only light to sew 🪡 by.
It’s how you cook a meal. Creativity is how you live. Reorganising the contents is creating.
Have a look at the room you’re sitting in, did you hang the picture on the wall?
That’s interior decorating, congratulations, you did it.
Just because you don’t make the stuff I make, doesn’t mean you’re not creating.

@Glisten thank you! I never thought of it that deeply. It's nice to have positive comments, probably why I hang out here so often 😍, instead of the negativity I receive in life.
Have an awesome day, at least it's cooler now!

@tyme yeah, and that particular bank has been a little cranky when I've spoken to them.
I am looking for admin work, I've been in transport and logistics for the past 5 years but would prefer a job where steel caps and high vis aren't requirements!
I was bullied at my last job so I am doubtful about my skills now and worry that any job I apply for will be a waste of time. Plus a lot of companies want school leavers so they don't have to pay a higher wage.
I'll get there, just not feeling great at the moment.
