I debated writing this post…because in all reality who’s business is it what happens to me???
I reminded myself that even though I’ve opened up to not only my family and friends…I’ve opened up to complete strangers over these internets. Strangers who now actually care about me and this little life I live.
And even though it’s hard to say…I reminded myself that I should never be ashamed of what happens to me on my journey because they are all learning experiences…the things that make me better and stronger!
This past Wednesday was the first time I can remember feeling like a real adult! I am proud of facing life head on instead of running like I would have in the past. I am proud to know that even though I could feel something really bad coming around the corner, I didn’t bail. I have to say that is real growth!
This past Wednesday my distant past came back to haunt me.
This past Wednesday I lost my job.
I am putting this out here on the internets because I don’t ever want to have to talk about it again. I don’t want to have to tell and/or explain this over and over again. I don’t want to go into details of what happened and why and how and blah blah. After I click publish on this post…I want this to be the past!! I hope you (my real life friends) can respect that!
Oh, and for the record…I’m not a victim! I’m not sad! Its just not who I am anymore to dwell in something that I have no control over!!
I’m hopeful.
A door has been opened up…
Something better is coming!

I always adore your posts and love your amazing quotes – seriously they are always words to live by! I am so sorry for your job loss, but you are so right, things sometimes fall apart so that better things can come into our lives, and it’s all about how we react to things that’ll predict how things fall into place. Way to not be a victim and focus on the positives – have faith love, something good is coming your way!! <3
Carolina, I am really proud of you. You handled the situation in such a mature and responsible way. I admire your positive attitude and I FULLY agree that something MUCH better is out there for you. That position was such a waste of what you have to offer. Hold your head up high and remember that you learned so much about yourself through the drama of the past 6 months, it was not a waste of time, but it WAS time to GO!!!
Your amiga in the Cray Cray, TA
Nuff said….I’m here for ya. Since you have more free time, there’s no excuse for us not to get together :-).
I am so sorry to hear about your job loss, but you’re taking the “bad news” with a lot of positive outlook… I like that.
Good things will come your way, friend.
Love you Hermana. Good luck with whatevers next for you. :)
Sorry about your job.
I don’t particularly have a job right now either. I say “particularly” because I do have a few things I do to make money, but not enough. I’m flat broke. So a lot of people would look at the decision to quit my job a few months ago as a failure, but deep in my heart, even though I’m poor and can’t pay my bills, I know I made the right choice. I just know I did.
So maybe look at this as the universe giving you the opportunity to do what you truly want. To find a situation that’s better than the last. I have a feeling good things are coming your way.
