Surprise, surprise

Just wanted to get something off my chest for a moment. I’m taking lots of deep breaths and shedding tears as I write this.

I'm stoked for my dear friend who just landed a new job after graduating last year. I know everyone has their own journey. Meanwhile, I've been waiting for four years and I’m still working hard to learn new things. Sometimes it's exhausting waiting for such a long time. Four years might not seem long; two years battling depression, one year spent trying to bounce back and learning new things. However, it feels like life keeps getting in my way, and this month, it’s leaving me no choice but to pivot and try other paths. Maybe it's because I lack certain skills or maybe it's just that I have no luck. I can't give up, I know. I’m just fatigued. It seems like my rough road doesn’t have an end in sight.

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk. I appreciate it.
