things are falling into place

i always chased highs.

i always tried to be as happy as i could in the moment.

and, tbh, there's nothing wrong with that. life can end at any time, and it’s best to enjoy every bit of it.

however, on the other side of things, it's okay not to be

as i got older though, there were moments of pain and suffering.

things happened that i didn’t want to happen.

things out of my control.

it felt like things would never get better. like i would be trapped in that pain forever.

but i kept pushing through. i worked hard, learned to live with the pain, and kept moving forward.

now, things are starting to fall into place.

i used to stress so much about internships and jobs. i worried about where i’d end up after graduation and how my comcast internship would play out.

BUT NOW...

i’m the first product manager at a tech startup with huge potential, and i have a full-time offer lined up with nbcuniversal as a data engineer next summer—nyc, la, or remote (with great pay and choice of locations!).

my next 3 years feel a lot more stable, and it feels so FREAKING good.

if you told me 4 years ago (or even 2 months ago), that this would be my outlook, i would’ve been shocked.

going through the uncertain times made these good times feel even better.

all the stress, anxiety, rejections, and roadblocks made me more resilient :)

as i move forward, short-term highs don't mean much to me anymore. i realized that the short-term lows create long-term highs.

i’ve learned so much in my life—especially in these past 4 years of college.

so now i wonder… what’s next? with more job security, where do i go from here?

i don’t know. but i’ll enjoy the journey. i know things will fall into place again. even with doubts, i trust it’ll work out.

see ya later!
