One Year Ago

Some times it is healthy to look back, to reflect on what's past, to analyze your growth, to know you are moving ahead.

One year ago, I was working in a job I hated, for a boss I despised. I wasn't sleeping because this job, this boss, was causing such anxiety. I knew I had to make a change. I wasn't happy. It felt almost like I was drowning in an unhappy life that I had no clue how to fix. I knew I needed to make small steps to change this, but I was exhausted, I was confused, I felt like a failure. And then became a quest on how to change, how to navigate back from this dead end. All I knew is that was the direction I needed to be heading, away from this job, this boss.

When I look back, I realize that you never really know how strong you are until you take stock of where you have been, what you have been through, and how in the end you are ultimately responsible for where you want to be. As I do this, I realize I don't feel is if I am drowning any more.
