Good Days!

The wait is over. A few posts back, I mentioned to you guys that something incredible happened. Something that has left me genuinely happy. I am finally ready to share with you guys what had happened. Well, I've finally braved up and said goodbye to something that's been a major part of my life for the past 5 years. I always thought saying goodbye would make me sad. I have always thought that saying goodbye would just be unthinkable. I always came home feeling burnt out, feeling extremely tired, and often times feeling unappreciated. I came home always feeling negative, with a mouth full of complaints. But then I always promised myself that the following day would be a better day. I felt like I had no time for myself, except for the time when I am sleeping. I worked from 8:30am-6:30pm Mondays-Thursdays and on Fridays I worked 8:30am-5:30pm and on Saturdays I would work 4 hours. In a week I worked a total of 63 hours! I was asked to work on Sundays and would have my day off on a different day of the week. Working on a Sunday was just too much to give up, it meant giving up my family day, my time with those I love, and my time for myself. I felt like it just was not worth it, considering that I had put in so much of myself into my job.

I learned that saying goodbye does not mean you are weak, saying goodbye could be one of the most courageous thing one could do. Saying goodbye could be a means of standing up for yourself, for your happiness, for what you believe in. The hardest part about saying goodbye is to admit to yourself that no matter how much you love something, if it no longer makes you happy and each day just seems like another long day in hell then it is finally time to move on. It seems like for the longest time I have always promised myself that tomorrow would be a better day, but tomorrow only gave me another reason to dread going to work, not because I didn't love my job, but it was absolutely difficult to work with a particular someone. I won't go into details about that, but the important thing is that I am extremely happy with where I am today.

The best thing about saying goodbye to that part of my life is that I am able to say hello to something much better. Hello to being genuinely happy. And hello to my dream job. I am working with an awesome company and the lady I work for is not only gorgeous and smart, she is also very kind and just all sorts of awesome and the best part is I am working from home, working at my own time and my own pace.  Life is good!

 So now, I leave you with a few pictures from the weekend.

My cousin is officially on his sem break! yey!

Who says you can't buy a Good Day? hahahahaha. This is how I like to start my day.

P.S. I know it is completely off topic but in line with Halloween, what are your favorite scary movies? Since my cousin is on his sem break right now, we were planning to play couch potatoes and watch a lot of scary movies that would keep us up all night. hehehe
