I’m a lucky person. I have a
laid-back job with great pay, and a boss who’s genuinely chill, kind, and
incredibly articulate. He believed in me—even when I had to download Zoom in
the middle of the interview. He still gave me a chance, even though I had
absolutely no experience. He saw something in me that I couldn’t see myself.
I was watching one of his podcast
episodes where he mentioned that he usually gives candidates a test during the
hiring process. So I asked him, “Why didn’t you test me that day?” He then
responded with something so sweet that I smiled so much and my teeth went dry.
He said, “Some decisions in life
are a ‘this might be good, let me learn more.’ Those are good for testing the water
more. Some decisions in life are a ‘fuck yes, let’s do it.’ These are best to
act on immediately. You were a fuck yes.”
Being trusted is the greatest compliment anyone’s ever given me☺️
I also have the best partner in
the world. He loves me deeply, cares so much about me, and never asks me to be
someone I’m not. He’s smart, has a beautiful smile, and a really attractive
voice. He’s always there when I need him. He pushes me to grow and helps me
glow up. I honestly wouldn’t be where I am today without him.
But all of this is happening
because I never gave up—and I deserve credit for that. I’ve fallen. I’ve made
mistakes. But my past isn’t something I need to regret or keep holding on to.
It shaped me into who I am today. But honestly, I’d be fine if I never had to
think about that part of my past again.
I’m a hard worker with a
sensitive soul. I love to write. Writing brings me peace, even if the first
draft often feels useless. But I know that’s part of the process. I don’t like
walking behind others—I prefer walking alongside, or leading. I’m creative and
full of curiosity. And those are gifts that not everyone has.
I love my family. I love my
friends. I love God, even when I feel like I’m walking through fog and
disconnected, like he’s far away or not listening. But I know, as long as I’m
still asking, I’m still believing. And that’s enough. Though I often forget
that my life, as messy as it feels, is someone else’s answered prayer.
Sometimes I doubt the power of time, but time does heal. So much can happen in a year.
