The other day was my first day at a new job. My shift was from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. But what they didn’t tell me was that I had to stay an extra 30 minutes to clean up the place. The manager was being pretty strict with me also. I hadn’t eaten properly before coming or drunk enough water. I assumed they would let me go to the food court at the mall to get some food, but the manager said I wasn’t allowed to leave the store.
I started ranting to him about how much I hated this. I remember saying, “I hate this! I hate everyone, I hate everything, I hate myself,” and at one point, I blurted out “I hate you.” And as soon as the words came out of me, I regretted it. But we can’t take back words. He dropped me at my house and just said, “Go. We’re here. Bye.”
He said he got my voicemail. It’s been five days since I lashed out. He’s started texting me again, but sending mostly one-word texts or emojis, and he’s most likely very hurt. I don’t blame him at all. I feel so regretful about this. He’s been nothing but kind to me and treated me well. And I hurt him. I feel as guilty as if I’d kicked a child or something.
