Starting the New Year with a new job. I enjoyed my time off from work and focusing on grieving, rebuilding myself, finding myself, and learning the ropes of being a wife. But it is also high time for me to go back to work because I need to feel useful again. I need my hands to be full again and I think I am also now ready to be stressed with work.
I previously took on roles as a Web Content Management Specialist and a Web Content Writer. Now I am a Social Media Marketing Specialist. Funny how curiosity took me to so many places just because I refused to stop learning. I took up another course, earned another degree, and got my RN license but because of bad experiences (very traumatic ones), I couldn't see myself working in a hospital just. Maybe for now or maybe forever, I don't really know. One curiosity lead to another and then before I knew it I started making a living from a hobby-- writing. And then from writing came the opportunities from social media and marketing on the Internet. Doors just kept opening and all I did was to just follow my heart. Sure there were heartbreaks along the way and doors that closed but I finally feel good about this job-- the office, the boss, and the workmates. Looking at my CV, I was actually surpised to see that I already have seven years of writing and social media under the work experience section.
I'm not letting my guard down and think that the hurdles are over. Like my husband said, it never stops. I just need to learn to pick my battles along the way and enjoy my work as much as I can.
Tomorrow I start a new challenge ans I am ready to face it head on.
