that uncertainty though
Everyone kept telling me to enjoy my funemployment while I could, but I couldn't. That uncertainty and anxiety of not knowing what I'm doing with my life with tons of what ifs running in my head was definitely killing me. I did enjoy all my travels after I graduated (which I still need to upload), but I had moments of panics that maybe I should focus on looking for a job than having fun.
I always believe that things happen for a reason and life eventually works it self out. It's not like I'm not a hardworking or a lazy person. I think if I try hard enough, I would get what I want or need. If not, maybe that's not the best or right timing.
Life eventually worked itself out. I was worried about not having a place to live after my lease was up while with difficult job situations, but a friend of mine was generous enough to off her place while I was unemployed and figuring out life. I was worried about the length of unemployment, but eventually I got an offer and accepted it two days before I moved out.
I am truly grateful for the support and encouragement from my friends and family. For the longest time, I thought my parents wouldn't be supportive of my career path. They would make some deals to force me to go back to Hong Kong. However, they had been supportive. They had finally learned that it was not easy to get to where I am at and learned to appreciate my choice and decision. I was touched when my dad said this world needs a lot more of you and it's not all about making money. They offered financial support while I was unemployed which meant a lot to me -- it was their way of showing their care and support. My dad also used his connection to see if there are opportunities for dietitians. I truly appreciated it (of course I would rather do it on my own). All my siblings said to come back soon. I really do miss them and Hong Kong. I really enjoyed their companion and laughter and silly jokes; how we "inch" each other. It always kills me a little when I am so far away, missing out a lot of family bonding time.
