A Moment To Remember- My Career Journey.

I'm writing this while I'm jobless. I left my previous job while no other companies waiting for me to join them. 

But even as I'm writing this, I remember that I'm not defined by my job or my unemployment, nor am I defined by what's listed on my resume or LinkedIn profile. Just as we celebrate our colleagues' new jobs and career breakthroughs, we should remind ourselves that receiving and accepting a job offer or getting a promotion isn't the only part of our career journeys. There are also moments when we quit, when we receive rejections, when we feel a slump in our careers.

Yes, I'm having a hard time. Looking at my savings gradually drop, everyday. As a father of my 4 kids and a husband to a full-time housewife, it is just putting everything at risk- being the only family's source of income. I lost my job by choice. Of course there are stories behind such 'silly' decision.

Across 10 years of my career, this is not my first time yet, this is a moment for me to remember. 
 
I know for sure I'm not the only one or the first one to experience this uncertainty, and I've definitely been comforted by similar posts before. But for anyone who read this and wants to chat, to reaffirm ourselves together, I'd be happy to do so. And if you've read this post all the way through, thank you.
