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...

Mountain Getaway

 



I cannot believe it is September already. This year is just flying on by! 

Thankfully, I had Labor Day weekend off this year. I decided to take a solo road trip to Lake Placid. Not really to sightsee or explore, but more to just clear my mind and meditate about my career and life. It was a little intimidating being alone amongst all the families and couples. Nevertheless, I'm glad I did this trip solo because it offered me the chance to think and plan out my next steps with a clear, undisturbed mind. I've had countless hours to think and I'm content with the decision I have made. 

I don't want to harp on too much in this blog post. Let's save the results of my pondering to a different post. I just wanted to take a few minutes to write out how lovely this mountain getaway has been. I'm currently sitting on my hotel room's patio overlooking Mirror Lake with a beautiful orange-green tree facing me. A reminder that fall is just around the corner and that cozy months are ahead. The crisp, cool mountain air is so refreshing. The lake is so...placid. It easily rivals Lake Tahoe, but without the excessive tourism. Sitting by the lake on a mountain resort is so calming and it's definitely my happy place. A reminder that there is more to life than just the daily grind and hustle. 

I'm about to eat a hearty breakfast buffet before heading back to the city. I really don't want to go back, but at least I am going back with a full heart and a positive outlook on what the rest of the year will bring. I am looking forward to cozy nights in, the glow of fall, the cooler months ahead, family gatherings, pumpkin mania, and of course to close this chapter of my life and begin my next journey.
