Well it has been about almost 2 years since my time in London and a little over 1.5 years since I graduated from the University of Hawai'i.
Life looks and feels different... I'm now working full time as a financial advisor - analyst back in my hometown of Seattle, WA and was lucky enough to land a job a top firm with Brighton Jones. My new career is very fulfilling and has a lot of ups and downs. I've struggled to work remote and miss the comradery of being in the office and having team mates and a cohort to talk to on a daily basis. Although we try and catch up via virtual happy hours life is very different then what I imagined it to be at this point. I've decided to start writing in this again in hopes of getting more of my thoughts out into the world and re establish what my goals are for 2021. The previous year was great and had a lot of personal challenges.. I definitely struggled with my break up and the emotional heft and trust that was broken deep in my soul that came along with it (TOUGH). At times confidence in my work ethic or even what my future was starting to look like. I've come to terms with those things and hope to focus on being grateful for those challenges as it helps to shape my character and outlook on life. 2021 I'm ready to take you on and grab life by the horns. My primary goal is to be thankful for the opportunities that life has handed to me and the experiences I've had. I want to use those experiences to propel myself to my next stage in life, whatever and wherever that may be... Anyways I'll probably start using this more as a journal to check in with myself. I doubt anyone reads this. haha. |
