271. Patterns: Write about repeating patterns that occur in life.
People, things, and experiences ebb and flow in life. There could be a job that you think about, search for, interview, get the job, work until you’re either burned out and have to quit to save yourself, or get let go. During the work portion of this cycle, at first you idealize the company and are so happy to have the job. Then little problems crop up like having to work weekends or having clients stalk you, then you’re not so excited about the job but you feel some commitment and loyalty toward the company. There is always some defining final straw, like finding out that a male counterpart makes more money than you just because he’s a man, that makes quitting feel absolutely like the right decision. Repeat.
