Today marks my last day in the company that first embraced me here abroad. Staying here made me happy in the beginning but also made me cry so hard especially during the lockdown when workload was too much yet everything in the world was fuck due to the global pandemic. Nonetheless, all my experiences made me stronger and wiser that I would not be this resilient if things were changed otherwise. So much gratefulness for them who believed in me and my skills.
These two years of a roller coaster ride with homesickness injected in between—now that the end is nearing, I could not help but feel nostalgic and sentimental. I hope that this day will be great and I would not regret leaving too much. I am really so afraid of what will happen next knowing that I need to adjust to another culture again added with the responsibility for my new job role is heavier (given that we are in the midst of an era of human extinction aka stay strong mental health). But hey, why do I fear these changes so much when nothing in this world is permanent. So, better embrace the unknown and willingly accept this career progression.
Keep going, Banunay!
Keep being strong! :)
