Observant Nomad | Chapter 2
At the start of every year its no surprise to get those 'fresh beginning' posts in your feed, but my timing is purely coincidental. I wasn't sure if I should've posted about this or not, but for the sake of this blog's purpose, I think it's only right to highlight the ups and downs of my adventurous life. Because if I didn't this wouldn't be much of a personal story, would it?A couple weeks ago, before Christmas actually, my current 9-5 job was cut. I had been working at an agency for over two years and started there straight after college. We lost a client, and therefore people had to go.I got the news days before our holiday break and was mostly numb and in shock from the whole experience. I admit, sometimes I had imagined what it would look like when I decided to leave that position. Maybe I'd be accepting a new job at a design firm, or pursuing web design in New York. Heck, even going freelance full-time was a part of my daydreams.But when that decision was taken away from me, it was a very saddening and hurtful experience. So now here I am, I spent my holidays recuperating with (a lot) of family, food, and sleeping the day away in bed. I've had a few leads here and there that haven't lead to too many places, and am feeling a bit down about the whole situation.I feel a little overwhelmed since I haven't really decided what it is exactly I want to pursue. Is it another agency position? More development or design? Would I want to move to another city for what I want? Or would I take that unplanned risk of leaping into freelance full-time?Figuring out what you want to be when you grow up wasn't easy when you were 8. And it's doesn't get easier with age. I have faith that I'll sort through it in time. I believe (with the help of some positive people in my life) that what feels right will reveal itself, as long as I keep an open mind.In the meantime, I've been stacking on new freelance clients to make up for being less than busy. So look forward to seeing some new moodboards and design work upcoming on the blog. I can't wait to show you guys what we come up with! So here's to the next chapter, and whatever that may bring.
