Honestly speaking, it takes effort, but I can still see blessings in my life.
It was a great comfort for me to meet a fellow Christian (in early 2021) - we are siblings-in-Christ - and I always thank God for that.
You may think that there are a lot of Christians in the world, so meeting another Christian is no big deal, but I've found that it is rare to meet a like-minded Christian. (I shall not mention the so-called "Christians" who sexually abuse children).
As for jobs - nowadays, people whom I respect say they want to take care of themselves, instead of working at jobs that they dread. And they are right, in a sense: I agree that one has to be responsible for taking care of oneself. You have to be the one to put your needs first on your list of priorities; no one else is going to do it for you.
For example, the famous sports-woman, Simone Biles, made big waves in the Internet world when she withdrew from sports-events to take care of her own health. A lot of people scoffed at her.
Well, the way I see it, as long as I am healthy and happy - and as long as God loves me - I don't have to care what other people say. (It helps to have some independence from other people's opinions).
So I'm just giving myself permission to enjoy life: watching the movies I've always wanted to watch, sipping coffee made of beans from all over the world, going for a leisurely walk in pretty parts of town, and so on.
I hope you can find your own happiness as well.
