After rereading the topic a couple of times about what I would do if this weekend were my last, I was almost sure that would be the topic I was going to choose for this weekend, however, in the end I decided. I ruled it out because, thinking about it, although in the way I seem to have very simple goals, in reality I have a long list of things to do that I simply cannot compress to do them in a single weekend, nor can I rule out some because the truth is there are many things. . , for that reason in the end I did not want to continue thinking about developing that idea to put together a post.
Even so, the topic kept running through my head because I felt like there was something there that I could have an opinion on, so I thought, in what sense would it be my last weekend? Will I never have another free weekend again? Will I die? What was the context for raising this topic? The truth is, very rarely does a topic leave me analyzing so much about what I could do in that specific case and after thinking about it a little, there was a time when I actually had one last weekend to put my things in order and what did I do? some significant things that made me feel good so I could fully enjoy those last two days.
In 2016, I moved to a new city due to personal problems, that same year the crisis in the country was already felt very pronounced, I was still studying so although I worked independently, that money was not enough to help my family, at the beginning of 2017 I managed to get a job which the same employers warned me would be hard work, it was a new company that barely had 10 employees and in my position I was going to have many responsibilities since I was going to have to perform several positions at the same time but the truth is I needed that job opportunity since things were not going well at home.
I remember that one Friday afternoon they called me to let me know that I would start working on Monday. The interview had been just a few days ago, so that call took me by surprise. At that moment I realized that I had only two days to wait. put my affairs in order. On Saturday morning the first thing I did was visit some friends from the university, I told them that I was no longer going to continue studying and that I would start working full time, they encouraged me, we chatted a little and practically said goodbye, in fact , that was the last time I saw that group of friends together in person again.
That same day I bought some tickets to see a stand up show by one of my favorite comedians, I went with my whole family and we laughed a lot, that is a really special memory for me. On Sunday the last thing I did was buy a case of beer to drink with my dad and chat for a while, my family got together and we talked all afternoon. Although for my whole family it was a normal moment because from time to time we did that, for me it was quite significant because I was aware that a moment like this was going to take a long time to happen again, I remember that unfortunately it became night very quickly and We were never able to finish the beers but the laughter and the good time were enough to make me happy, I remember that that night I felt completely satisfied and prepared to work.
Maybe the things I did were few and insignificant, but they gave me a certain feeling of having left things in order before dedicating myself completely to work. Finally, I worked for a year in that company and during that time I worked days of more than 12 hours having only 4 days off a month so I practically had no personal life that year, perhaps that is why I don't remember the Venezuelan crisis that year in particular because I was practically not at home, in fact, there were months in which I only had a 2 days off and it is impressive how we can get used to that pace of work.
At first it was really exhausting but then the body really adapted very well, at no time did I feel mentally exhausted but I did feel that my life was happening and I was not living it, I hardly saw my girlfriend, I didn't know much about myself family, I lost total contact with all my friends, in fact during that time I spent more time with my colleagues and bosses than with my family, a time in my life that was a bit strange to be honest.
Luckily, I managed to get another more lucrative source of income that required much less work, thanks to that I was able to have a social life again, continue with my studies and contribute financially at home, also, I remember that experience with great affection since I learned a lot during that time and I made a good friendship with my entire work team.
I hope that my participation has fit into the main idea of the suggested topic, sorry if my participation was a bit long, I tried to summarize it as much as I could, in turn, I hope that it is valid to participate twice in the same weekend, if not That's right, I apologize in advance, I thought this topic was very good and I didn't want to waste it. As always, I'm glad you read, see you next weekend, happy Sunday everyone.
