Bump bump bump
There’s a sense of aloneness that comes about when you continue to hit roadblocks when pursuing your dreams, whether that’s being ghosted by companies (despite making it through several rounds of interviews), feeling disconnected from your core community (that’s 10,000 miles away) or just having a frustrating walk with your dog (not mine, merely dog sitting).
Sometimes it’s hard to not sink into that feeling, and yet I’m trying to honor it and give it space before picking myself up and moving along. And I’m being honest in sharing because I find it quite frustrating when reading stories of people’s successes that gloss over the tough moments of despair: it’s not all pooping out rainbows and sunshine - sometimes shit comes out too. Yes, in saying this I’m hoping that I too will be a story of “success” (whatever that means) but while also admitting that the road gets quite bumpy along the way.
So here’s a tribute to the moments of (in-person) connection since moving to Sydney - a reminder that I can and will be able to start anew in this new country that’s an ocean away from everything I once knew.
