My Hopes For 2025

  I am definitely having some jitters about leaving my job. I am so excited for the freedom, but a part of me is really going to miss my apartment and New York. Living here has been such a dream. This is the first apartment I have truly loved and felt like home in. I love the beat and pulse of New York City (what a cliche, right?). But I am so heartbroken at having to leave my apartment. I even thought about renegotiating my contract with my current job and went through the entire process of creating a plan to possibly stay in my current position. But a part of me knows that is not the right step. Sure, I'll get to stay in my apartment and continue my life here, but there is no growth in that. I have to accept the fact that I am stagnant in this job and there will be no opportunities to grow as both a professional and a person. This job is suffocating me and I am unable to live my life because of it. Hell, I haven't even gone on a date in over 5 years. I don't even look pre...

Back to New York City

 


Today marks the last day of my winter holidays. It is officially back to work tomorrow. I'm scared and nervous as all heck, but I'm determined to make the best of today. I'm driving back home which means a 7-8 hour drive but hoping to make the most of the drive by listening to podcasts and stopping by this New Jersey town I'm contemplating moving to next year. I'm also hoping to make it back in time to do a night-care ritual with a spa bath, candles, a rom-com movie, and journaling/planning a bit before bed. I also have a few packages to unbox so I'm really looking forward to playing with my new goodies! 

These past 1.5 weeks have been absolutely magical. It has been so nice being home off work between the holidays, and to be able to spend quality time with family for an extended period. I feel so relaxed, loved, light, and full of optimism for the first time in many many months. It's these moments in life that I cherish the most - these joy-filled moments that makes me appreciate all the small things in the world and loved ones around me. The quality time I spent with my family this break - our road trips, all the snacking, baking,  cooking that we did, the movies we watched - is something I will never forget. What is the point of working so hard if I'm not able to take time off like this to be with my family and loved ones? I really want to continue this tradition of taking the days between Christmas and New Year's off, which I am hoping will become a possibility with my switch to locums.

Hoping to blog a little bit more the next few weeks. It's going to be a stormy wintery weekend and thankfully I am not working, so I'm looking forward to a cozy weekend at home complete with bread baking, soup making, and filling out my 2024 planner.
