little barista's life sto(wor)ries

My name is August, I'm twenty years old, work as a barista and all this time I'm trying to ignore the fact of burnout. 

It would seem, what is difficult? Make coffee on lactose-free milk, smile and fulfil plans, but the schedule of work three in one full days (fifteen hours) ‘slightly’ changed my attitude to weekends. I literally have nothing to do, because the work has taken over my brain. Only think about the fact that i have to work, pay rent, feed my boyfriend and our parrots, ha-ha.

I used to have a diary and write out my thoughts, which only led to dead ends. Maybe, I have no right to complain or show weakness outside my head, but is it right? That's why i'm writing all this in the void.

It's not a good start...
