Are you holding a grudge? About?

That’s a pretty pitiful prompt, WordPress bot. You could have at least said “If so, what about?” But to answer this, yes. I am holding a grudge…against myself.

The fact that I decided to major in English is the stupidest thing I’ve ever done in my life. And to add insult to injury, I stayed in teaching ESL for way longer than I ever should have. This destroyed my overall professional life, torpedoed any chances for a proper or lucrative career, and rendered me useless, with no real applicable skills. I did not think ahead, nor did I plan for my future.

I despise myself for doing this, and will never find forgiveness. I carry it around like a dead fetus in my womb.
