update on my career 🌱 

it might seem like an easy decision, but for me, it was anything but. when i was preparing for the interview, my focus was razor-sharp, locked into what i could achieve if i succeeded. but once i did, a wave of dread came over me: the realization that i’d have to leave my home, to uproot everything familiar and safe.

after many nights overthinking, i decided to go for it. i made a deliberate, almost defiant promise to myself: to step outside my bubble, to seek the discomfort and see where that leads me.

if it doesn’t work out even a week from now, so be it. at least i will have tried and failed, then not tried at all.
so, yeah, hi, new york. you’re dirty and loud, but i’m coming for you anyway.
