Hey, people! Hope you have all been well and are enjoying the hell out of this nice weather. It's been beautiful out.
Super long story short: yesterday I got laid off! LAID OFF! From a job that raised more questions in me than it answered, gave me a sense of power over my own future and encouraged me to focus on what. who and how I love. That's the positivity I'm taking taking from the situation anyway. I wasn't fired and I didn't quit- I rode the bronco until they shut that shit off! Some part of me appreciates the small triumph in that, in being patient in a not-so good situation. Idk, maybe the whole story will make it into the book. I'm not sure how much time I am willing to spend looking backwards.
What does this mean for me? Means I'm jobless for now, but surely not forever. It also means that my time is my own again and that feels great, freeing and exciting. I can focus on my writing while I job search, meet new people, shoot the shit and enjoy the summer.
Don't get me wrong, I'm worried but I also know the more time I spend on that the more intense it will feel. So I'm attempting to be "passively worried" which is worried with some boundaries. That's the best I can do right now.
In the coming weeks I hope to spend my time not just job searching, but helping. My hope is to volunteer as I continue on this journey because even in a bad spot there is always things you can do for others. That sounds really warm and fuzzy, but it's true. Anyone that knows me, knows I'm happiest helping. I really believe that in helping others you learn so much about yourself, your impact and how the world around you operates. If you know of any places looking for volunteers/ full time positions email them to me! [email protected].
Heading out to fill out some apps and enjoy the day! You do the same! #PostBorrowSeason #FiguringItOut #JobSearch
