One Door Closes, Another Opens
Today,
one door quietly closed.
And another, gently, opened.
Since yesterday,
I’ve been browsing job sites again—
looking for something that doesn’t involve driving,
or something close to home.
Then I found it.
A job at a bakery café.
Close enough to walk to.
It felt… right.
But I wasn’t sure yet.
So I saved it.
Thought I’d apply later.
That was the plan.
But today didn’t go as planned.
My heart felt a little heavy,
so I took myself out—
grabbed my notebook,
and studied bookkeeping at McDonald’s.
Then I got a call.
My dad’s back pain had flared up,
and he needed to go to the hospital.
Mom went with him,
so I stayed,
studying and waiting,
trying not to worry too much.
Time passed slowly.
My mind wandered.
Everything felt a little uncertain.
(˘・_・˘)
When I finally got home
and reopened the job site,
the bakery café job
was gone.
The door had closed.
Just like that.
Softly, without a sound.
I just sat there,
thinking,
“Ah… I missed it.”
Still, I kept searching.
Scrolling. Hoping.
Because of my hospital visits,
full-time jobs are tough.
Eventually,
I found another listing—
a café I could reach by train.
Without thinking too hard,
I applied.
It’s probably a place for younger people.
And maybe—
just maybe—
I’ll be looked down on,
judged,
dismissed.
But still.
Doing something felt better
than doing nothing.
And that small action
led me to a new job site.
I spent the evening
filling out my profile,
uploading my resume,
clicking through endless forms.
And then—
new listings appeared.
Jobs I’d never seen before.
Options that felt
just a little closer
to possible.
And I thought:
Wait...
could this be a new beginning?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Life doesn’t promise happy endings.
But today,
I found myself
at the edge
of something new.
One door closed.
Another opened.
Now it’s up to me—
to step through it,
to keep it open,
or maybe one day,
to close it myself.
Or maybe,
someone else will.
“You’re too old.”
“You’re not needed.”
“You don’t belong.”
Maybe.
Maybe not.
But even so—
I want to be grateful
for the small hope that showed up today.
And maybe—
just maybe—
I want to take a chance on it.
Tomorrow’s another day.
I hope it’s a kind one.
And wherever you are—
I hope you’re well, too. 🌿
