Patience

This is the word I have learned to embrace in every aspect of my life – be it personal, work, or hobbies.

I am dabbling and renumerating between these things and patience has been my golden virtue to keep me sane.

In my personal life, due to my tendency to dwell on the past, there are some things that triggers me recently, I’m not going to specify cause writing about it would mean I dwelled on it more than I have to, and if I dwelled on it, that means I’m giving away my good energy for it – I don’t want to give it my energy anymore. Anyhow – like I said it’s been triggering me lately, and what I do to contain the overwhelming emotions is to pause and wait, and contain my need to dwell on it. It’s really been helping me a lot.

And for my work life, I do not have a “work” life per se but I’m referring to my application journey. Transitioning to a whole new facet is certainly not easy, I have revised my resume more or less 50x already, because there are facets I want to get into. I haven’t been lucky yet, and it makes me sad, but I haven’t given up hope yet. I am going to take certifications for HR while unemployed so that I would have something to present on the roles I wanted to apply for. I’m leaning towards HR Transformation, Change Management, Global Mobility, and Learning & Development. What do this these three have in common? They are all policy reliant, close stakeholder management, and project management. I know I’m a hardworking and agile person, I just need to have a chance to be interviewed. Patience patience.

Lastly, my hobbies, this one has been taking up my time quite a lot. I registered for Make/Shift event at Stickercon and I’m quite excited and also nervous. I’m really not prepare at all, I don’t have the tools nor the art to present, I only have the idea and desire to try it so I registered despite it all. My sister will be helping on the logistics and as the creative person, I am entrusted to create all the art and ideas. Now that I’ve had the chance to rest, it’s quite easy to focus on the task at hand I’m doing. I’m also reading again!!! Hehe, I missed it so much, but my hyper immersion on the stories I read makes it hard for me to finish a book. So far though, I’m in my second book this month, yey for me hehe. Out of all the 3 aspects, this is by far the least amount of patience I’ve had to use, but I still use my patience nonetheless. My desire to do shortcuts in my drawings and to search spoiler on the book I’m reading (to rid the anxiety) is still there, but I haven’t done it yet.

So far, life isn’t perfect, I have my doubts and worries, but I still consider this a good life. 🙂
