Hello,
I resigned from my job with no job lined up today. I lasted 7 months in an environment that I felt was so toxic. I need to work on setting boundaries in the workplace. Life is quite uncertain right now. I looked at my past entry and looks like I am still lost. Although I have grown so much as a person, I feel like I spent my entire 20's being lost.
I quit my previous job in June last year, shortly after my last entry. I loved that job; I had an amazing boss, coworkers whom I truly called my close friends, work I actually enjoyed. I left in pursuit of more money and a better title. I learned a lot in my role and this probably would open me up to many more opportunities (that I may not realize now), but ultimately, I am unsure if it was worth it. If anything, this experience taught me how to navigate difficult situations in the workplace. I will never let anyone nor a job take my softness and kindness away from me.
Although I am lost, I am also excited to see what this new chapter of my life will bring. I am turning 29 in two months. I didn't want to spend the last year of my 20's being miserable and burnt out from a job. It's just a job. It will be ok. Everything will be ok. I have no choice but be ok. This is all temporary.
So much has happened since the last entry, but I am tired. I will write a more thorough entry next time. Maybe when I turn 29.
Bye now,
Catherine
