Today was the day that started it all. The day that started with employment, and ended with being ready for the opposite and move quickly in the changes.

No one affected by the lay-off could have expected it, and most found something similar to what we were previously doing. I kept running into scams and legit positions that required things I couldn’t provide. The longer it went, the more uncomfortable things became.

There’s no way I could have predicted the start of this blog back then. Survival mode will do that to you. How long I had to stick to that mode makes today more appreciated for surviving it in every way imaginable.

Without it, I would not have reclaimed the time I lost in providing for others first. I wouldn’t approach or remove people based on the energy they gave in repeated moments. I wouldn’t have dug even deeper into what’s been right and wrong with me, and people around me.

Without it, I would not have found myself.

So whatever’s next for me in this new job and after it, I’ll do my best to remember what’s happened in the time in-between, and let it add to the continued growth that I wanted for myself for a long time.
