New Chapter Begins!

Here I am, on my first day away from my workplace, looking ahead with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. Leaving my job was something I had to do—no question about that. But now, as I take a step back, I find myself grappling with the challenge of finding my feet again. It’s one thing to make a change, but it’s another to navigate the unknown terrain that follows. Tolerance for this new phase is key, but sometimes, I can’t help but wonder if this was the right decision or if I was spiritually pushed out the door.

So, what am I really looking for? Honestly, I think I want a life that’s less stressful, more meaningful, and definitely filled with friendlier faces. I want to protect my mental health, be more present for Lana, and carve out time to connect with my husband in ways I haven’t been able to before. For so long, work kept me distant from home life, and now it’s time to change that. I need to embrace home life, yes—but I also need to earn an income. It’s the balance I’ve been craving, and I’m ready to take chances to get there.

I have a million ideas, but they feel like they’re stuck in limbo. I’ve got a year and a half of studies to catch up on, plus the responsibility of helping my husband with his admin. It’s a lot, but I also understand that this down time, as frustrating as it can feel, is probably here for a reason. Maybe it’s a chance to regroup, refocus, and think about what truly matters in this next chapter.

I can’t help but notice that I keep dreaming of my former boss. There’s a part of me that yearns for an unclosed chapter, one that he chose to leave unfinished. But I remind myself that silence is its own kind of answer. No response is, in fact, an answer in itself. And maybe, just maybe, this is the closure I needed, even if I didn’t get it the way I envisioned.

For now, I’ll sit with the uncertainty, embrace the space I’m in, and trust that everything will fall into place as it’s meant to. This is the beginning of something new, and I’m ready for whatever comes next.
