Job Update

For those living nether a rock, I left my labor at MLB dorsum inwards December and direct maintain since been looking for novel jobs/trying to figure out what my adjacent footstep is. I was inwards a actually bad house at the goal of lastly year. I was filled amongst anxiety attacks in addition to heightened depression. It was, looking back, a rattling black fourth dimension for me. 
So I started looking approximately in addition to applying for diverse jobs from Jan to March in addition to institute a duad along the agency that I actually wanted, but it never seemed to operate out for ane argue or another. I knew what I wanted to do, what I direct maintain done inwards the past times in addition to the compensation I set inwards my mind. My goal wasn't to merely discovery any job, I wanted a nifty labor to farther my career.
While applying, I was able to brand my ain schedule, operate out, clear my mind, focus on the blog, intend almost my plans for the future, in addition to go to run across my household unit of measurement without worry for the showtime fourth dimension inwards my life. All the things that actually seemed to aid me acquire dorsum to the correct house mentally. I had a wonderful in addition to supportive household unit of measurement in addition to friends past times my side, in addition to amongst them, I could create anything.
From March to Apr I was interviewing amongst this society that I actually wanted to operate at. The labor was made for me, the civilization was great, the pay was adept but the place was somewhere where it would brand life on Andrew in addition to I hard. We'd direct maintain to separate fourth dimension commuting in addition to it would accept out a serious chunk of our fourth dimension together. Before my lastly interview, Andrew in addition to I sat downwardly in addition to seriously discussed all parts of our futurity in addition to whether or non I should acquire out on inwards the interview procedure or take my holler from the list. 
....And I'm excited to denote I direct maintain a novel job! I'm happy in addition to I experience similar I tin give notice genuinely breathe again. I'm working almost threescore hours a calendar week but honestly, it doesn't fifty-fifty experience similar operate to me. What's nifty is the harder I work, the to a greater extent than vantage in addition to furnish on investment I run across (hello bonuses!). My boss is supportive in addition to loving in addition to actually cool. She just gets me. The benefits are awesome too: opor-garai is unlimited in addition to flexible every bit long every bit I acquire my operate done in addition to working out is encouraged in addition to fifty-fifty paid for. It's similar a dream right?
What's crazy is for in addition to thence long I've been telling myself this isn't what I wanted to create for a job, that it's non something I'd live successful at or something I could do. But amongst all the things inwards my life that direct maintain happened, this sort of roughshod into my lap in addition to spell I was withal beingness paid severance from work, I tested it out to run across if it's correct for me. So far it's been the company's most successful yr to date!
Something actually special almost this labor is how many departments yous acquire to acquit on in addition to live a utilisation of: social media, marketing, management, legal, editorial, multimedia, PR. It's awesome to larn from each in addition to grow inside the society every bit good every bit personally. We also, every bit of yesterday, hired our rattling showtime summertime intern which volition live actually nifty in addition to aid my labor a ton. While it is nifty to direct maintain my hands inwards in addition to thence many baskets, I create demand some extra aid every bit I desire to create my rattling best in addition to acquire out on to grow.
This determination did non come upwards easily either. I grappled over it for months in addition to tried to come upwards up amongst every argue why I shouldn't. For years I had been telling myself in addition to talking myself out of this because it's scary in addition to it's novel in addition to it's different. But are those reasons to non create something? Trust me,  I've weighed every see in addition to idea a 1000000 times over. It's scary in addition to merely similar my tattoo, non something I ever actually wanted but merely took a saltation of religious belief in addition to did lol.
I holler back dorsum when I was graduating college, I was terrified of moving to New York because it wasn't "in my plan." I would freak myself out in addition to acquire through all these unlike scenarios of what if this or what if that. My mom would beak me downwardly in addition to state that moving is non your lastly decision. That at whatever betoken if I realized I wasn't happy or wanted to leave, I could. Something in addition to thence unproblematic but in addition to thence true.
I took a lot of comfort inwards that. No determination is final. Like amongst this job, if I discovery downwardly the route I'm no longer happy I tin give notice acquire a novel labor elsewhere. It's every bit unproblematic every bit that. So I'm taking the saltation in addition to giving it my all. Because why not? If non now, when? What is stopping me? Would I live happier elsewhere? So what's the novel labor yous say? I operate for Covering the Bases Inc. in addition to am everything from the CEO to the secretarial assistant (literally -- I sign the checks lol!). This is a fancy agency of maxim I'm going to saltation into this whole matter total time. But I wanted yous guys to run across showtime that it is a existent job, fifty-fifty if it doesn't seem similar it to you. So does this modify your see on me in addition to your emotions to everything I set out above? 
When Andrew in addition to I talked almost our futurity nosotros decided that this was what would live best for us both in addition to our happiness. Mainly mine, but when I'm happy, he's happy. It was a determination nosotros made together in addition to something that wouldn't live possible without him. We direct maintain grand ambitions for our futurity in addition to the life nosotros desire to live. The people who alive those lives are ofttimes their ain boss. They start businesses in addition to grow them from the footing upwards to live successful. That's what I'm doing now.
Starting a legitimate draw of piece of work organisation is difficult in addition to scary but exciting in addition to limitless. This is non a determination I made overnight in addition to of course of pedagogy I withal direct maintain doubts, but it's going to live great. It's going great. This is in addition to thence far our best yr to engagement (already!!) inwards damage of traffic in addition to sales.
