Searching....

Hello! I know it has been awhile since I posted anything on here, but I have just been dealing with life and its many issues and just wanted to share with you what I am feeling. So here goes!


In the midst of my absence, a number of things have taken place. Since September, I had been able to acquire a job through the help of my best friend in late December. I was working part-time for the company up until last Thursday when I was laid off (it is a long story, I don't really want to get into it). Since getting fired, my mind has been constantly racing and wondering, I find myself now at a crossroads now where I am seeking to try and understand and discover what is my true purpose/passion. The job I had was decent job and I tried to consistently remind myself that this job was only temporary and that I wouldn't be doing this job for the rest of my life. While for four months I was able to push myself each day to wake up and face the day and the tasks I had waiting for me when I reached my workplace, at the same time, I knew deep down inside that I could only push myself to work a job that I had honestly had no desire to be in for only so long before my true feelings would show through. Now, it may have not shown through anything I said or any emotion I displayed but I feel it shown through in my work and the level of energy I brought to that work in environment. That is not to say that I was a rude or incompetent employee, I think that it was just clear that that particular position was not a strong suit of mine, a gift rather. So now that I am back once again in the job market, going through the motions of applying to job after job online, it was then that I realized that it wouldn't make much sense for me to apply to another job, go on the interview, and possibly get the job only to be in the same predicament all over again. Dreading getting up in the morning (I'm not a morning person at all), having to talk myself up to get ready for the day, get there at work only to wish I was back home, doing something else, or hoping and praying for the weekend to come. Again, I am not speaking negatively about the company I worked for, any company I will work for in the future, or any company for that matter, its not about them, it is about me. It is about seeing a clearer path for my life than the one I have now, it's also about even if I don't know specifically where I will end up, at least I know where to begin. You see, that's just it I don't know exactly where to begin...but in time it will be revealed to me, maybe that's what this time is for...until it is revealed to me I will just have to keep searching...
