Growth
This past week marked a big milestone for me; I’ve officially been out of school for one year. While I may not be in the position that I thought I would be in, I am quite happy with the way things have turned out. This journey from college graduate to true working professional has been such a time for growing. I had months of just having fun (may-september), months of working a retail job that wasn’t doing it for me (october-december), months of feeling like a failure and being depressed (january-early february), months of getting my life together and preparing my portfolio (late february – early march), and months of carpal tunnel bliss sitting in my office (late march-present). Through it all I remembered that my college professors told me that there would be days like this. It also helped that I had family and friends to support me. But one thing I took away from this whole experience is that time to grow is important. You may be hating your life because you’re not where you think you should be but trust me, take that the time to grow. Expand your horizons. Love someone. Create new things. When you have grown some you will see things differently and be better prepared to move forward. Remember:
”Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure, nor this thing nor that; but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.”
