But the thing is... I'm worthless to companies. The economy is declining, so of course competition will be more intense.423Please respect copyright.PENANAQp37NdsXkm

And all this reflects in my digital interviews as well. I get choked up, and mess up multiple times.

I wish I could be happy without needing that money and status. Be fulfilled. Content.423Please respect copyright.PENANARmWSylElSZ
