You’re not alone.

Even though it feels like the world is against you- the people in the world aren’t. People are good, and sympathetic, and eager to help.

It’s so easy to get stuck in a bubble of desperation and loneliness. Even though we have thousands of “connections” we’re more isolated than ever.

We were never meant to live in isolation. The great advantage of humans is our ability to form communities and combine resources.

When humans work together we accomplish extraordinary things. Even something as small as finding a job is made easier by harnessing the combined power of others.

If you feel lonely it’s not your fault. But it is a sign that you need to reach out to your community. Please don’t suffer alone. There’s thousands of us who want to help.

The part about taking breaks and allowing yourself to still “live” while searching for a job was powerful.

Mark - You get strong marks for your willingness to help. I have heard from many that it is difficult out there - especially in the tech space.
