Where do I start to find a career when I feel lost?

To give a sort of breakdown of where im at in life:

I got a divorce earlier this year from being a stay at home wife, i got a job working front desk at a hotel. Im 26 years old and for awhile I entertained the idea of going into accounting, or computer science or even nursing.

The issue with accounting is that i was worried i wouldnt make a lot because I dont want to be in tax(im more open to it now though, i was just scared of all the laws as a teen), i also worried about the work life balance.

I had a draw to cs but with thay going down hill and I know i lack strong enough passion to stand out i havent pursued that further (i did learn on my own some stuff awhile back and enjoyed it)

Nursing is... a more difficult sell for me, it feels like a really intimidating profession, i dont know if i want that kind of pressure if someone's life on my hands as well as I am not a people person. That career is more for the money whoch seems wrong, i do care about people im just not sure i could do well with it.

Anyways so, i just feel so lost i want something to push toward, my job is slightly above min wage, im stuck living with family because I cant afford my own place on this pay. I know it all ends up the same "i want money i dont want to work hard for it" thats not a full lie im sure most people do, im willing to work hard im jjst scared of prospects in this economy and my preferred job id work maybe3-4 days a week so I had time with my dog and to explore other hobbies. I dont need mansion but owning a home feels like asking the same lately.

Why is my starter this color, its been fed recently

Do I need to restart again? This starter is from my fridge I revived it like two days ago it had been in there a couple months and maybe this is its second or third feeding.

It did not reallt rise this time, last feed it rose. I actually think I fed it less this time.

Is it just really hungry? I mightve over fed it i foolishly did a 1:5:5 ratio to start. Or is it a bad bacteria in my starter?

Tldr:

  • couple months old starter pulled from fridge been fed maybe 2-3 times now
  • fed the day prior in the morning
  • fed a 1:5:5 ratio initially and likely a little less this time because I thought that was too much(rose for time it was fed now it hasnt risen and looks like that)
  • doesnt smell like much
  • its purple maybe grey ish. No fuzz its just purple on top.

My first expensive perfume- serge lutens de profundis

Maybe a couple weeks ago I got a smaple off mercari for de profundis and today there was someone selling a few unopened bottles so I decided to bite the bullet for it. It was sort of a big purchase I do feel uncertain slightly. Financially its ok maybe not the wisest but not going in debt by it. I justified it because i once had a heretic perfume that was 50ml and for the 100ml it was the same price as the ine I got. Being in the us I dont see many opportunities to get this fragrance. I liked the scent of the original I will say my initial smell of it reminded me of a very floral and powdery scent but it feels like as it sits it smells more earthy green and lightly floral. Its so odd I wouldnt say my initial spray is my favorite but I love smelling it on me through the day.

Feel a tad ripped off but its my own fault. Rebel in a can

Well it was a buy two drinks get 50 extra points so I got a medium myst with cold foam and a float i assume thats probably.... 7.95 base plus 1-2 for the sweet cream and cold foam? Maybe 9.95. Then to get my other drink i asked for a small I wanted something new, I asked what I should get and she recommended i get a deconstructed rebel with coconut because i like coconut.

My total came out to 14. So I guess I paid 5-6$ for a can of rebel and two shots of syrup in a cup. Im probably not too bad off i can always try to make somethjng fun at home with that, I was just like wow, I didnt realize how much a can of rebel cost... this is more a vent of my own social downfall because I shouldve just asked her to make me something random and id just throw it in the fridge for later, I did show of 30 min before closing though cant really blame it i suppose. At least I can get a free drink later now.

I bumped a car while backing up and i am so disappointed in myself

I was on my way to work from a Cafe and I backed up, completely oblivious I guess, this is my fault 100% I have a back up cam and I didnt idk... think I was close to that car and i looked away then hit his bumper. Like I realize how much i depended ok a tool that I shoildnt because in my mind I assume my car would beep if it saw something coming in the back but it didnt. I know its wrong to trust that, i really was just stupid, running a tiny late to work, trying a new place and being complacent with my driving.

Im a new driver sort of, ive had a license for 5 years but i only started constantly driving this last year, so great i bought a new car to dent its rear. I went in told the man we went out to look and i basically left dust on his car from mine, literally no scratches, mine took the brunt of it. He said it was fine and I apologized.

Im just having trouble forgiving myself in a new car like an idiot i shouldve been more aware.

Do I go no contact?

This might be a bias place to ask and I shoild personally know best for myself but im so conflicted about it.

​

Im nearly at the end of my divorce, we rarely talk besides when he asks how im doing or how my cat is (we got him together but I took him with me, it was already flatly established that no matter what this cat was mine even in marriage).

We do share a plan together i cannot get out of bevahse my cell isnt paid off but besides texting we sometimes talk on one social media website. Ive removed him as a friend on all of it we just have the chat still open.

​

I wont say things ended horribly, I wasnt cheated on that I know of he just becme someone else and gave me the strong feeling that he did not love me for the majority of oir marriage. It was also a tense time when he decided he didnt want to be with me because I was being semi pressured to finish the divorce out. He did help financially since I wasnt working at the time. So i have some resentment for how he flipped a switch and treated me very coldly but he was still willing to own up for his part and help me move etc.

​

At this point we are ok, i have some resentment obviously but I also dont want to be back with him, i knew him for a long time he was a friend and I want to send him a video of my cat since he asks sometimes however, my family advised i shouldnt and is surprised I havent fully blocked him yet. Im wondering if i reaching out in a way i shouldnt?

Finding the right type of spell to let go of ex

I have been separated from my husband for half a year now and the marriage was only a few years but we dated for a decade before as teens. Long story short i was heartbroken, he did not cheat that i know of, just fell out of love and wanted life without me. Hes remained semi friendly and supported me to separate.

My issue is, im going through a lustful stage and I dont want to be with him and im not gonna sleep with him hes not even nearby but, i wondered is a cord cutting spell ideal for letting go of my feelings and desires(what us the result to the other party)? I feel like i know its not what id actually want but I find it pretty annoying when he pops into my head, maybe i need a self love spell? Im a new witch, ive always loved the idea of spells but never let myself do any so this is one of my first.

​

(Also can i do multiple spells? I feel like doing 3 on the next full moon would be cool)

Beating myself up about not getting the whole speel put sometimes when checking guests in (socially awkward night auditor)

Not sure if anyone else does this, im a night auditor and I do work during check in hours two times a week but, sometimes I forget things and it happened twice tonight. I forgot to tell a guest the room type they were in and the total since theyd already been charged. I think I got overwhelmed because they came in with all the guests in the room and I was also trying to decide if I needed their info for the room (debate in office from one boss to another)

Then the second one was a last minute booking and she had a lot of questions about where they could put their vehicle theyre towing so with all that I forgot to address the rules about dogs in our hotel (keep on leash outside and dont leave unattended in room) so now im just frustrated I can see where my lack of experience with guests going off script really throws me off.

Also I showed the guest on the map where to park and gave him his own map my social skills lacked there because he wanted my map too and I just held it to my chest lmao like what is wrong with me. That was my cheat sheet. Proper response wouldve been "its the same as the one I gave you, this one is for ne to help remember where guests can easily park their larger vehicles"

Its days like today I almost feel like im not divorced

Its been maybe 5 months and I know I am divorced, im still grieving though its so dull now at times. I wish I could cry it out and be done but it kind of just sits in my mind.

Today, it feels like im almost giddy by the thought of talking to him, I am not talking to him but, i think about how i used to be so excited to get a text from him or call him. I check my messages once in awhile to see if hes messaged me. Its a weird mix of sorrow and almost denial like happiness where I almost feel I could snap back to who I was call his name happily when he came home or get excited when he messaged me. Then I remember how he told me he would stay late at work so he didnt have to come home sooner and of many other things. None were cheating just a lot of time spent with someone who was feeling guilty that they didnt love me and I felt they didnt but trusted their words over the actions.

I guess its denial? Maybe its just taking away a habit i used to have. I know it might sound wild but I feel like I almost programmed myself to believe he was amazing. He wasnt ever overly cruel never physical, I eas just pretty set on loving him and believed we could work through anything if he spoke to me (besides cheating and lying). Little did I know he basically regretted the whole marriage and was lying to himself about us working it out.

I feel free but I also feel alone and miss my best friend, hes not who I thought he was but I wish I could call him like nothing happened and tell him about my day and my worries etc. I am far too stubborn and scorned for that though.

So im justvventing wondering if anyone else gets this way, its almost like a dopamine kick yet it upsets me i feel so excited by calling him or texting for a moment. Its just a almost inmate feeling without logic its nice but with reality it upsets me.
