I know, I know it’s been a hot minute since I posted anything. It hasn’t been for the lack of content, but for the over exertion of my brain and my personal human resources! It’s been a roller coaster emotional ride this past year and it’s been sure as hell both physically and mentally taxing!
So to summarize the year for those who care, I got my first full-time 9-5 corporate job as a Technical Recruiter. As a family we got some long-awaited good news. A dear family member was diagnosed with cancer. I started my very own small business. My family had a major car accident – miraculously no severe injuries. My dearest cousin got engaged! Among our friends we have had some move away out of state, some having to undergo surgery, some loosing family members, some getting physically injured with months of recovery and some bearing mental scars due to unfortunate events. We have had Covid ravage through our family. And the hardest, most irreparable blow was losing a parent – we are still mourning the loss and grieving.
Phew that was a lot in a nutshell! With all this one thing I learnt with certainty is that “Life goes on – no matter what!”. You might have everything around you crumbling, but if you just keep breathing and taking it one day at a time, life will not fail you. It will keep going on and keep moving on. You will rebuild everything one brick at a time. It may not be the same as before, but it will be just enough.
Whatever it is that you are going through, I wish you the strength and resilience to keep on swimming and emerge on the other side.
And through it all, if you happen to be a parent, hug your child a little more tighter tonight and breathe in the promise of a better future.
