A White Lie That Won't Go Away

I recently started seeing someone casually, and I did something I'm not proud of. We were out for dinner the other day, and she asked about my job status. The thing is, I've been freelancing lately and it's a bit up in the air right now. Instead of telling her that, I lied and said I just got a new gig with better hours and more security. It felt like such an easy lie to tell at the time, but now every time she brings it up, I feel guilty all over again. I keep trying to figure out when I'll actually be in a place where I can come clean about my true situation.
