1. I used to be politically very right, but not crazy right. I believed in smaller government, couldnt stand the democrat party... but now... I dont know where I am. not left, but definitely not right.

I live in a conservative part of California and most people I know are far right. My experiences living abroad and needing state aid made me happy to pay taxes and grateful for what we have.

I can tear apart nearly any FB post supporting anything but I just keep quiet. I still hate the Dem party now that so much corruption has been exposed, so I feel like I am in no-mans land at this point.

Second one is how depressing my job search has been this past year. I moved back to the USA last year with good experience and while my friends know I have a few jobs and two clients in the field I am looking to work in full time, I often feel down about it and it makes me not want to socialize as much because I feel like the thing at the front of my mind is constantly trying to find a FT position.
