Not Enough Time

One year can fly by pretty quickly but can also seem like a long agonizing period. It all depends on perspective and circumstance.

One year is 365 days and with days flying by so quickly, I fear it might not be a lot. One year is a significant number for me because it is a rough estimate of the amount of time I have to get a work visa or I leave the UK.

It's crazy to think that we have actually been the UK for over two years already. In that short time, I've worked hard to find my feet in the country and fortunately for us, I'm in a good place.

I've worked multiple jobs in the short time and after doing just six months as a customer service agent, I got promoted to a managerial position. In that time, I've become a bit of an expert in general insurance policies, principles and of course, the market as a whole.

I've really grown in a short period of time and while good fortune has played a part, I've gotten to this position thanks to my work ethic and capacity to learn quickly. I'm nowhere near my peak but with the way things are going, I don't think I'll ever know what my peak could be in this country.

Anyway, the point is that time flies and a lot can happen within a short period of time. Alas, I've found myself having less and less time to actually function.

There's just not enough time to do anything anymore. I feel so mentally drained at the end of work, I only have enough energy to get food, sit for a while and off to bed.

I've been actively trying to work on my fitness to see if this can maybe help.my energy level. I figure if I lose some weight, I'll be lighter and that should translate to some energy saving that I can then apply to self improvement.

After a flurry of job rejections, I took a break from sending out job applications. I'll get back to sending applications as soon as possible but to be completely honest, I have mentally checked out of staying in the UK.

Other than important stuff like applying for jobs, I don't even have energy for the things I enjoy doing. For example, I have a crunchyroll subscription and I barely watch any anime, despite having the largest data base of animes on the planet.

I try to play video games but I don't edit videos or upload on my Social Media anymore. That was something I enjoyed doing but I just don't have the energy and time to do it anymore. There's just not enough time.
