Only Three Days Left

Friday March 25th will be my last day working at the engineering firm.

As I said in my last post, I got a new job, and I am so excited to begin this new moment in my life. I’m going to be an Assistant Project Manager learning how to be a Project Manager, which means that my goals, my dreams, my ambitions for my career will be made by this new job. I’ll be making an outstanding wage as well as working in a job where I will learn and grow and thrive. It’s almost too exciting, too wonderful, to think about because I never imagined that I would ever have a job as good as this one. But since my divorce in 2019, I have grown in so many ways, I’ve healed in so many others, and this new job is the outcome.

I’m also still in my new masters program. It’s going extremely well. I’m absolutely loving my classes. I just finished writing the final project proposal and annotated bibliography for one of my classes. And this week is spring break, which means no homework! There are some things in my life that are still uncertain, but the one thing I know and cling to is that I am going to make it. This year has been the result of everything I’ve done for myself since I left my ex. All the struggles, all the pain, all the loss that came afterward…it was all old skin that I needed to shed so that the new me, the new life, could shine through.

It wasn’t easy. But through it I have built a life I love, a life I am proud of, a life that will fuel and feed me, no matter what else happens. I have friends who support me, cheer me on, and celebrate my victories. It’s been a hard few years, and at times it was extremely painful, but I’ve learned not to let myself down. I’m learning how to control even the little things I think about myself. I’m learning to invest in self-love, not just self-care. And I hope to see the fruits of this labor continue to bloom.
