I Got Laid Off

I got laid off from my job yesterday.

I had a feeling it was coming, and I didn’t expect to be so emotional, but when I got the news, I think it really hit me because I realized this is the only place I’ve worked at for my entire adult life. I started straight out of college, and worked there for 13 years, so at the moment, it’s hard to imagine what’s next, because I don’t know a life outside of this.

While I also create content in my spare time, I’ll be honest with you that I hardly make any money from it - this is truly a passion project that I do simply because I love it - so to now not have a steady income is freaking me out a bit.

But I’m going to pick myself up and we’re going to keep going, because I know rejection is redirection and something better is out there for me. In the meantime, I’m going to use this time to hug Baby L a little tighter and be more present for her, since I know I’ll never have the blessing of this time with her again.

As much as it hurts right now, I’m choosing to look at this chapter of my life with love, and I know it’s going to be okay.
