Seven Months

It has been a while, half a year since I last posted. I had just graduated when I wrote my last blog post, and I was just about to carry on writing my “chronicles of an unemployed graduate” series when I landed my first full-time job.

So much of life has happened in the past seven months and I really don’t know from where to start. The excitement of landing my first job, the enthusiasm of pursuing my dream, the eagerness to learn, the keenness to execute, and the ups and downs of the work life. Some days had their own stories, and others shared the same. Some were refreshing, and others were breaking. Seven months have passed since I transitioned from uni to adulthood, and it has never been this real, enlightening, and liberating.

So much of life has happened in the past seven months and I really don’t know from where to begin. People have talked to me about life post graduation, mostly warned me to lower my expectations… but I never listened. I believed my journey would be different, that following my passion would make it different. Seven months into it and I have zero regrets. It is about finding a job that you love so that you love what you do.

I have shifted careers, completely different fields, from pharmacy to content creation. I have worked round the clock, and I have had sleepless nights. I have challenged myself, I have gotten out of my comfort zone, and I have forced myself to push through. It wasn’t nice at all times, in fact it was mentally challenging on some days, but at the end I was able to keep going. My drive was my passion, my fire and my love for the job – that was my fuel for the past months and still is. Adulthood is hard, but it is bearable and of great value when you pursue your passion. So yeah, I have zero regrets and I am back to blogging!
