AUGUST 2, 2013
Yesterday was my interview for the new position. I gave it my all and I thought the interview went well. Today I was given the result: I wasn't the chosen candidate. I was given kind words. As much as I didn't want it to bother me, I had a bad day after that.
Now what?
I'm not sure. I told myself I'll leave if I don't get promoted. Then my aunt sent me a text telling me not to give up. Regardless of when she actually sent it, the message stays the same. I need to keep going. I need to keep pushing. I need to keep fighting.
How do I do that when I'm so full of stress and all I seem to be able to do is frown? My smile has been stolen from me and it's getting harder to wear it on my face. The happy woman who came into this job, excited to be the best, now became someone who has tears on her eyes more often than before. The weight on her chest sometimes becomes unbearable and her resolve crumbles.
When you feel all alone in life, how do you keep pushing on?
