Possibilities

I lost my job yesterday, and I was saddened by the fact that society (and a number of friends) expect me to be pissed off, mad, and curse out my old bosses. What I was made even sadder by was the fact that in society’s eyes; in most of my friend’s eyes, I’d have been completely justified if I had, and no one would have thought lesser of me. And the temptation was there. But I didn’t. In fact, after thinking about what I wanted to say, I sent my bosses an email thanking them for allowing me to work where I had, and explaining my highlights of working there. Instead of the negative, I focused on the positive. And though I’m still annoyed with what happened, I found that leaving those two relationships on a positive note brought me joy. Yes, I am stressed out now that my source of income is gone, but if anything, I’m excited for the career change. I wasn’t getting enough hours at the Café, and it most definitely was not stable. I’m at the start of a new chapter in my life, one that’s been writing its introduction ever since the end of the summer. I’m thrilled with what’s happened so far, and I can’t wait to see what else is going to happen along the line. One year ago, when a similar thing happened with C28, it took months to forgive and be okay with what happened. Now, it took a matter of hours. To say that God’s been working on me a bit in the past year would be an understatement.
