Here’s to the future!

I got laid off.

I can’t say I didn’t see it coming to some degree, but I wasn’t really ready for it when it did.

When I signed up to work at a startup, I knew it was always a chance. It wasn’t a secret that there were exploding kittens hidden somewhere in the deck.

I strongly believe that opportunities come and go, and I always end up where I should. I learned so much from my job. It’s unbelievable. I didn’t realize just how much I had done in a little over a year and a half until I started to write my resume and reflect on the experience.

As much as I want to jump all in into the next thing right away, I’m taking some time to really dig into what I want to do next. I’m reflecting on what I loved about every job I’ve had so far and what I couldn’t stand. I’m trying to keep my mind open and invite all ideas.

And to be honest, I’m really looking forward to the change. I needed this push to get out of comfort zone and really imagine a whole new job. I am so full of hope and anticipation for the future.

I’m sad to leave my coworkers behind, but I’m so excited to see what’s next for me (and my coworkers who got laid off with me).
