This one is going to be a quick read because honestly I don't have a lot going on. Last month I moved to a new city to return to my old job from five years ago and I'm still setting in. Job wise the first month was all about training because of the specifics of my role as well as the safety precautions around the nature of the population that we work with. While I can't lie and say I didn't enjoy all day training that was both paid and provided daily snacks tomorrow the real work starts. I have my assignment and I just want to be better than I was my first time here. I just want to serve better, learn more, contribute quality, engage with confidence, and continue to grow.
In every interview since I've been talking about this role that really changed the trajectory of my life if I think about it. And so that's what I keep telling everyone who recognizes me or asks me why I'm here, why I came back. This role challenged me in the next way. I have learned so much and yes I'm still trying to figure it out but as I start to step into what I now know to be true this role is once again serving as a bridge to the next chapter of my life.
On the home front I swear moving is always like starting over no matter what or how many times I have done it. I'm like why do I need so many things? Why don't I already have this or that? I have been living and I had everything I needed for my last job but now I am in a completely different environment so I need different things. And that's a word right there but I can't wear the business casual office clothes that I used to wear for this role where I'm outside. With kids. Moving all day. So there's that and I guess the rest is just those little necessities of life such as home items including washing powder, ketchup, spray, paper dishes, etc. Yes this is really my list and then there's the big things like getting my laptop fixed, moving my things into storage, getting ready for my business launch in 2025, and of course just keeping up with the bills I already have. It's a lot. Let's not get into that LOL.
But I'm here and with everything going on and all the different responsibilities I am about to have to take on job wise and business wise I just want to remember why I'm here. I know better than I ever did. I chose this time with knowledge from prior life experiences in various forms. I do not at all expect myself to be perfect and I do have things I both want and need to accomplish but I'm also realizing how important planning is. If I can just master that part planning let's start there. Coming up with a plan and following it. Executing it. Then I know the rest will follow, my time will not be in vain, and at the end of the year I will be proud and prepared for my next chapter.
I'm really excited for that. But first I have to be here and show up. And keep showing up until I start to see the reality I want. So one step at a time. Follow the plan. Use this job to fund my daily life, save money for an apartment, and start my business so I can pay off my debts and dues, continue to grow, and really get to the life I want.
