Well its the start of my last week at the first design job I've ever had. It is with excitement that I look towards my new job and all the possibilities it holds but I can't move on without acknowledging what has come before.
I started on a journey to change my life. I was miserable, in a job I hated and some part of my said enough. Some part of me decided to dream and then decided to reach for that dream. And I ending up grabbing that dream with both hands. I still sit here years later with wonderment that somehow that dream was mine. I think of my family and the part they played in me achieving that dream, in reality I wouldn't have done it without them.
Firsty Yol, Bas, Evynn and Shaan who opened up their home and their lives to me when I had nowhere to go. Not just me but my dog as well. And even though me "temporarily" living with them turned to over 7 months of me taking over their lounge room it was never a hassle. And then Di, Jero, Amy and Charlotte welcomed me into their home when I was trying so hard to break into the design field. Never saying to me just get any job, knowing how important it was to keep trying for that dream.
I've nearly come full circle, when I buy my house I will have come full circle.
But today I'm grateful for my first design job that started out as a 3 month contract and after over 2 years has led me to the next stage of my journey.
So excited - so grateful - so blessed
