Less than 48 hours before the vacation began I was told I no longer had a job. It was the ultimate buzz kill right before what should have been an exciting time. The trip was planned almost 7 months ago to celebrate the completion of graduate school. I pictured myself packing giddily packing my suitcase; instead it was with a heavy heart.
I convinced myself there was nothing I can do to change my situation while I was away so I had no choice but to put this unfortunate event in the back of my head. I did my best to take my own advice and I had an amazing trip.
Now I’m back. Sitting on my parents couch I’m wondering how I’m going to pay for that education I am supposed to be celebrating. I’ve sent my resume to countless people in the 3 days since my return. Every time I hit “Send” I cross my fingers and say a pray that this will be “the one”.
Over the last 27 years, I’ve become an expert in pulling myself out of less then desirable situations. It’s somewhat off-putting knowing that I’ve been in such unpleasant circumstances before. It’s also reassuring to know that I’ve always overcome.
I’m a fighter and I always get what I want! Now, it’s just a matter of figuring out what exactly it is that I want.
So today I say I’m back not just from vacation, but back in the game of life! I’m ready for the fight, the world is mine!!
