The Hurt of Starting Anew

This weeks post will be brief and honest because some days, you don't always feel motivated and ready to take on the challenge. Somedays you question whether it was worth jumping into your passion when you could have had it safe and consistent.

I can't deny that after 7 years of solid work experience, starting from ground one makes me feel frustrated. It doesn't help that I receive notifications of jobs that I am well qualified for in senior positions, but here I now am searching for internship roles. It's scary and a little embarrassing to admit that I am not qualified for this. I went from a stable career that I was good at, to zero.

"Somedays you question whether it was worth jumping into your passion when you could have had it safe and consistent."

Every word of support feels like a life raft that I grasp onto. I cling on to all the advice and talks sent my way because I don't know how this thing will turn out. And even more, I am deathly afraid that I will fail and have to go back to an unhappy place.

But that's my drive. I remember how unhappy I was, how I refused to believe that this was all I could do, and that feeling would not be silenced. So much so that it pushed me from my consistency to wild courage. And I must hold on to that, even on the days where I feel like I can't.

And so must you, courageous reader, so must you.
