The next chapter

It took me some time to digest the things that swirled around me this past few weeks.

First was my resignation from my job. As much as I loved what I was doing, I always felt there is room for me to get something better. Although I did not actively seek out for a new opportunity, one came smacking on my face. 

A good one too.

After contemplating and weighing everything under the sun, I decided to let go my comfort zone and plunge into unknown territory. It was the same feeling I had when I lost Sathyan - learning to let go and be brave enough to explore new environment. It wasn't easy, and I cannot say things will be better, but surely, I will get there. Part of the learning and growing up process, eh? :)

I tendered my resignation within 2 weeks after my promotion. Left a week later. I felt both good and sad. Good because I know I have made a decision that will improve my life, bring some vital changes that I have been looking forward (better working hours mainly) but sad because I have to be away from things that I am familiar with - my friends, family and home. Also from a job that I did so well in. But I do know, my stress level were going up and honestly, I was hoping some miracle would happen and get me a new job.

I got it :P

So here I am, having a cup of coffee, taking a step back, giving myself a short break, and looking forward for a new beginning in few days time.
