Major Focuses + Changes

so i guess the long awaited update is finally here. i doubt anyone really reads my blog, so this is really for myself. x] i like to document and keep track of things in my life. i've given my current job my 2 weeks notice of resignation. simply put, it's crazy how much things change with time. i'm going to focus on finding a job more aligned with my dreams, goals, and aspirations in clinical therapy and psychology. i'm glad that i have more time to also focus on school. if all things go to plan, i will be graduating spring 2023. i'm doing quite well, which i'm proud of myself for! got a gpa of 3.4 currently and hopefully (surely) it'll increase once i finish w/ my current classes. 

a couple of things to note about my current job that i'm about to leave:

- i meant everything i said about it and the ppl there in my previous post

- i'm so thankful for all the great ppl i've met there, some who i've become close friends with

- i did like the job there for the most part-- chill some days, stressful other days, but manageable 

- i learned a lot there; gained new skills and learned a lot about myself, my limits and how far i can go

- i've been there for almost 2 years now, so it feels like a good time to move on and seek out new opportunities more in line with my goals and dreams 

- i'm going to leave on a good note, even though ultimately i'm leaving because i'm no longer happy there...

it's a bittersweet feeling for sure to quit a job i've been at for as long as i've been there, but definitely a longtime coming! nervous, but also excited to close that chapter and start a new one. 

a lot has happened in my life since the previous entries i've posted honestly. 

i also thought i fell in love sometime half a year ago. experienced unexpected happiness of meeting a "soul mate" and cried when it (the bliss and sheer happiness) felt ripped away from me. do all things have to come to an end? is it better to just accept that and be thankful for the moments we get to experience and live, and let them go? i'm still unsure. however, i've learned a lot with the experiences i've had within the last year. it's important to love ourselves, be committed and invested in our own growth and life journey, and cultivate inner happiness. choose yourself every time and don't wait for others to choose you. one thing remains true: being thankful is one of the greatest joys there is in life. 

to conclude this entry, i want to say what i'm thankful for:

- i'm thankful for my life and who i am

- i'm thankful for my family and friends

- i'm thankful for the experiences and lessons i've been through

- i'm thankful for the universe and what seems like divine intervention and fate intertwining to create a smooth path for me to walk in this life

until next time, and hopefully it won't be too long next time around, haha. :)
