i'm sorry
Hello.
Dropping in to give you a quick update.
It’s been a month long hiatus from substack and I’m sorry I haven’t written to you. After getting laid off, I’ve been knee deep in navigating a significant career change. It’s been difficult trying to figure out my next move, but I feel myself getting closer to a resolution and a plan that feels hopeful (and stable). Are you thinking about career changing, too?
I want to share more once I’m fully immersed in this change because I think more people need to be talking about career changes in their late twenties/ early thirties, especially in the midst of this horrid and chaotic job market.
I’m the type of person who completely shuts down when things in my life feel unstable and out of control. I stop talking to friends and family and I feel so paralyzed that I can’t write or create or do anything that feels remotely therapeutic (my toxic virgo trait). I need order in my life. I need stability and sturdiness. I need a plan and I want to feel fulfilled and valued in my career. These last several years in corporate have been the complete opposite. So alas, I’m back to the drawing board planning my next move.
Thank you for being patient with me. I’ve missed writing to you (almost) daily. And now that I’m feeling level headed, I’ll be writing to you frequently.
Let’s talk again tomorrow.
I love you.
Oh, I made a secret playlist. Tender jazz - a balm for the soul. Maybe it will help you, too.
In addition to writing more about career changes, I have a lot of content that I want to send your way about all things summer: bucket lists, music, activities, books, films, things to cook, treats to bake- all things seasonal, our favorite, as always.
Bye <3
take your time.
everything will be alright.
