In the summer of 2019, I graduated from (Swedish) high school. The plan was to take a year off and work for a while before pursuing higher education starting fall of 2020. So, how did that work out? Not well at all. It seems that there are no jobs for a recently graduated natural science student with no clear job experience to get. Even goddamn McDonald's didn't respond to my application, there was always someone with more qualifications applying.

So, from June to now, I have been at home doing nothing. I have 100%-ed so many games in this time because there was nothing else to do. I like to go to the gym, but in October I got hit with some kind of back injury which destroyed my ability to exercise, and, for a month or so, I couldn't even sit in a chair! So, I basically got forced into lying in my bed for a few months and now that I should (and need) exercise, I have no energy to get out of bed and do so. (Please, someone just force me to go to the gym!)

Now for the happier part.
A week or so ago I got accepted for an internship at my local library/event hall. I worked there before one summer, and I also basically grew up in that building so going back there to organize some books and concerts will be really nice. It'll give me something to do for a few months instead of lying in bed at home. But getting an internship isn't that hard. If I work from now to May/June, what the hell am I supposed to the summer before I'm off to university?

So I started looking for summer jobs. Hoped for more luck, even though before I had only failed. And two days ago, I got a call from a company. He said that they were basically finished with the interviews but they wanted to meet me this last second. Yesterday, I met up with him for a job interview. And today, he called me to say that I got the job!!!!!! The very first job interview that I passed!!!!
And it's a damn fun job. I will be a guide for the local Cold War fort/museum! I'm so excited! And this means that from now to August when university begins, I will finally have something to do! I just wanted to share because I'm so happy.

Which part of your back did you get injured?
There are some nie books about which area of the body is related to which kind of emotions.
Tose books are very good way to try to understand your inner feelings.
And once you validate, sse those feeling it is usually easier to transmute them.

I don't know how thinking about my feelings will help with a physical injury, but thank you for the tip!

For example:
Liver is corresponded with the emotion anger
Maybe person is not even aware of that because he made it his part of life

But once he is concious about it and if person is courage enough to his/her darkness it can go like:

Shit my kidney is trying to say I am angry
Ohh, every day I curse and get anry at traffic
But that solves nothing except making myself sick

Now that is a self realisation

It could be much worse, I know from experience. I finished highschool 4 years ago and I wanted to take a break of a year too, I wanted to get a job and save some money first but I never did get a job and I never continued my studies. And I also suffer of scoliosis, so any job standing up is out of the question for me, I can't stand up even for 10 minutes without being in excruciating pain. But there's still hope I guess, I did get an internship as a programmer this month, even though I have no experience programming. I have to learn a year worth of courses in about 3 months, I don't know if it's possible but I'll try. Also congrats! Don't worry you're on the right path, best of luck!

My tips for energy would be to make a good smoothie with plenty of vegetables/fruit in the morning and go for a run, if you are in that type of thing. Don't forget to have good music with you, or you will get bored.
