Hanging up
Hello fellow guards after a 14 or so years this old guard is ready to hang it up and walk away in honor this time rather than being fired I suffered a lot with mental health and being a alcoholic for a long time trying to guard not really being both mind and body ready for the shift I would call off alot be to hung over to work or just feel mentally drained I had a lot of mental health problems that I let go because I didn't wanna ask for help but this time I'm going out with soberity good mental health it's like I know it's time I end this journey on a good note rather feeling like I had something more to prove. I know now I have achieved my mission as a lifeguard more than any saves more than any you know endless hours of scanning your pool or water and moving your head up and down and probably thousands of micro particles of whistles in my system I just decided that my journeys come to an end and I'm ready to move on to a New journey in life so I know this is totally random but I just want to express this is kind of like a kid that thought this was going to be a job it turned into almost his entire life of his adult life of lifeguarding you know and I'm ready to hang it up and just move on to this next adventure so yeah like I would I would advise any new lifeguard it's okay to make mistakes just making mistakes when they don't matter and always ask for help because nobody got to this point in their career as a lifeguard without asking for helping always admit to yourself that if you have a problem you need to talk to supervisors and whoever else because you know this is a very mentally draining job and if I could do it all over again I would with no regrets so this whole lifeguards hanging it up
