Quarter life crisis
Back in Singapore for the past 1.5 week. I've been thinking quite a bit lately. At the moment when the plane touched down on Singapore's land, reality hit. Hard. The carefree student life back in Melbourne came to an end. Of course with an immediate effect to adjust myself back. Not just the weather, the people, the land.
I've been fretting over the pressure to search for a job. Guess I've been talking to everyone I've met so far about job searching and how no one wants to hire me. That's a nicer way to put it. Rather they're complaining sessions. Pieces of advice from friends are to take my time and choose one that I love. "You're young and you've got time to try out different things before settling on one which you'd really love." Couldn't agree to it even more. However, the thought of changes is just daunting. Humans hate changes. Don't we? We're comfortable with what we are and where we are. Why the need to change? This brings in the subject of my new job.
Went for a job interview this morning at a social media company. The fastest reply I've gotten so far. Not as if I've received countless job offers. A total different field from what I have experience in. The decision to get this offer was made within an hour. With my mum's positive attitude, I just thought 'Why not give it a try?'. Alright, I'm starting my new job tomorrow. New job scope, new colleagues, new working environment. Awesome!
Undoubtedly, I am afraid. Scared of the challenges that are ahead of me. I pray hard that this one month will go by quickly. Living up to a standard has never been easy. But whose standard am I following right now? Unknown. Hopefully to everyone's but nah. That's too much to handle.
Wish me luck.
