There's something so fickle with the mind.

When I studied in my respective field it was a massive boost to my confidence that I was able to pass and achieve so much in the year. That it spurred me on to do post grad courses. I passed those with flying colours. But I thought if I really wanted to see if I was good at my job I needed to be brave and branch out. I had mixed experiences but I observed the people that were working in the area I was thinking about going on to.
And I noticed they're not happy.
They like their salary yes but they're still not satisfied because as a lower level of staff we were being cheated but so were they.

I looked at the facilities and conditions of the working environments.
This helped me to weigh up the pros and cons.
One day someone said something to me here.
It really resigniated with me.

"At the end of the day what does this mean to you".

And when I thought about it, it meant absolutely nothing, not really. Because I wasn't truly happy.

Since changing careers although I'm not earning tons more money I'm happier.

I have more time to myself.

I have a dog something I could have never done.

I'm engaged, and I'm having a baby.

I have engaged more with my community and made friendships, more than I would have, despite my job being community focused.

I feel like a new person. Like I've been given a second chance to be happy.

My words to you are this.

"what does this mean to you?"

That doesn't mean pack it in. Just hone in on what you truly want out of your life, since you are the master of it!

Best of luck to you. 💕
