Heya,
I am fairly new so I don't know many of you (yet) but I am bursting with happiness and need to share:
11 months ago I moved back to London, after 3 years away to try to rebuild my life, this time without my partner, without savings or any money really and with a degree that wasn't fully recognised here. I was living in Spain before and the recession meant that I would not find a new job in my field.
It was really tough, I lived with (and off) friends for 3 months, then found a job that was pretty rubbish, but would pay the bills, found a second job to help, found a room in a flat. I have been unhappily in this job for nearly 9 months now, working 3 additional days (including saturdays) nannying to make ends meet and coaching on the weekends to pay for my own training.
Today I had an interview for a job in my actual field and I got it. I will be working in the profession I trained for (and I trained for a long time, 6 years of uni!)!! Something I was told would probably not happen (not here, not for years). I also found a little flat with a friend last week, so I am moving into a lovely place by the end of the month.
So on my 1 year back-anniversary, I will have achieved what I came to do and I am so damn proud of myself. That I did not give up, even though my old job sucked and I would sometimes cry in the toilets. That I managed to get through this rough patch. That I am finally where i want to be!
Just wanted to share that! Thank you for "listening", Mila
Congrats!
