Feb 2024 is the most challenging time for me in my corporate life. Dami kong iniyak sa work, sa life.
In short, Emo queen ako nung mga panahong ito.
I kept asking myself
"๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ช๐๐?",
"๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ก๐จ๐ ๐๐จ ๐ฅ๐ค๐จ๐จ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ข๐?"
I love my work. I love what I do.
I worked hard for it.
It has provided for my family in ways I'm genuinely grateful for. ๐๐ป
But somewhere along the way, I asked the question out loud:
๐ค "Hanggang ganito nalang ba ako?"
๐ค "Gusto ko bang maging empleyado lang?"
๐ค "Gusto ko ba na ang iniiyakan ko ay trabaho?"
The answer is NO.๐

I searched.
Then I found and started a digital business.
It has been a beautiful ride ever since and here's what I want to share with the woman reading this:
1๏ธโฃ Loving your job and wanting more can both be true.
I genuinely love my career. But I also wanted something na akin talaga. Something I learned building, on my own terms, on my own time. And most importantly, something with my name on it.
2๏ธโฃ Growth should not stop just because you're "stable." There's still so much I want to learn. Not for a promotion or grades, but for myself.
3๏ธโฃ The word "Someday" has a cost, too.
If you keep waiting for the perfect timing, lilipas din yung five years sa ayaw at sa gusto mo tapos wala paring nangyari. For me, I just wish I'd started sooner.
So momsh, girl, sis, mars, if you've ever asked yourself "๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฒ๐น๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฒ?"
I'd love to share what I've found.
Just reach out. I'd love to meet you.
And by the way. If you ask me now how I'm doing...
I'd say, great! But I'm still figuring things out. :)
And it's okay!!๐
Because the Angie that you're seeing now, is better than the Angie that I knew 2 years ago.
