-I am about three months into - my job as a (part-time) barista. -

-

-My managers are supportive and understanding, and I am grateful for that. For example, they believed me when I said that some customers are just difficult to handle. -

-

-And I am getting involved in more activities at -church. For example, I assist with the audio-visual equipment - like PowerPoint slides - on some Saturdays, when a pastor preaches to a congregation of elderly people (in Hokkien language). -

-

-I do feel a sense of community in my above-mentioned efforts, and I thank God for that. -It is easy for me to feel a sense of isolation, so tending to the above-mentioned efforts does help me feel more connected to humanity. +I've worked as a part-time barista for the +past nine months or so. + +But I have resigned, to protect my mental health. +I felt highly stressed at work, and I wondered: "is all this stress and misery +necessary in my life?" + +I plan to take a break from conventional employment. +I've contributed to society, through my barista-job, +and now I need to rest.
