Hopes to move forward this year

I went to a shop yesterday, worked for an hour, and completed a couple of tasks. They said they’ll contact me when they need me again, but I’m unsure if they will. I might reach out myself, but I’m just hoping to move forward. I was supposed to attend a functional skills session but didn’t go because of the snow, and I didn’t know it was on until the last minute. I feel embarrassed about doing functional skills because I feel behind, which affects my self-esteem. Despite that, I plan to keep going with the sessions, though I’m also looking at other ways to get into work. I feel guilty, like I’m not doing enough, even though I know the snow and the cancellation were valid reasons for missing it. I don’t want to wait until I finish functional skills to get a job. I have a job event tomorrow, and I’m hoping it can help me. I might also contact the charity shop again if they need help.
I really hope to move forward this year because I haven’t been happy the past couple of years, and I’m trying to change things. Apart from functional skills, I’ve been trying to get something quicker to change my situation. It’s so boring and frustrating being at home, and I want the opportunity to earn and save. I want to achieve my goals sooner rather than later, and while I know there’s no rush, I don’t want to waste time stuck in the same place. Doing the volunteering yesterday was something I wouldn’t have done months or weeks ago, but because I want things to change soon, I went for it. I constantly keep worrying about things and have repetitive feelings every day. Moving forward would make a big difference to my wellbeing, especially if I’m earning and have a routine. I’ve been struggling for so long with finding where I want to be, and now I just want to see some changes. Things won’t change if I’m doing nothing, but I’m not doing nothing. I just think I need a bit of further support, and I think a lot of people could benefit from that. I want to start feeling better about my future instead of worrying about it because I have goals and want to do well. But sometimes, I feel like because of how things have previously gone, I’m not going to get anywhere, and that’s scary. I just want to start with the first step, which is securing a paid role, because that’s what I’ve wanted for a long time.

I hope you’re really proud of yourself. ☺️ You’re taking all the necessary steps to move forward as you wish. It’s okay to fall behind, we all follow our own paths. What some have at 18 some don’t have until 25. What some have at 25 some might not have until 30. Never too late to take those steps towards the life you wish to live and that’s exactly what you are doing. You’re breaking the chain of the struggle that you’ve faced the past few years, and your attempts is what counts. I know myself how hard it can feel to be stuck at home, like you’re making zero progress. Keep trying and you will get that paid role you wish for, I have absolute faith in you. These big changes come after the small changes.
I admire your attempts very much and not giving up, it’s inspired me today.
I hope you have a lovely rest of your day and we’re always here for you.
