Wow, I can’t believe that Chapter 27 is coming an end. It felt like yesterday I was waiting for Chapter 27 to start. There is so much I can say that has happened in this chapter of my life. Here is a list of all the things I got to experience in Chapter 27:
Receiving my college degree in the mail (tears).
Attend my first Craig David concert.
Getting more serious into my blog.
Holding down two jobs (tired as hell).
Posting myself in a two-piece on IG.
Meeting Craig David for Round 2 and got my letter into the car ( ).
Attend my first JoJo concert (tears).
Craig David read my letter and responded to me!
Visit Morro Bay for the first time.
Attending my first Latin concert [Prince Royce] in a suit!
Having all these artist/actors like and/or like your comment!
I stayed in a hostel for the first time.
Learning how to follow my own intuition.
I attending my first Hmong wedding.
Learned how to cook in my crockpot.
How I’m learning to be who I am in this single life.
This is my 16 reasons and yes there won’t be any tapes. Okay maybe a few concert reviews. Now let’s get into the parts where I learned during my not so great times during Chapter 27. These topics help understand myself, others and being able to grow for the next chapter that I pray that I’m promise for tomorrow.
Denied Letters
So, since I have graduated college my mission has been to move. And by moving I’m applying for jobs in Southern California. I want to spread my wings and move. The thing about post grad life is that nobody tells you about what comes with it all. I believe I have appled to over 50 jobs and all I have been getting is denied emails or they closed the positions. I have neer heard back from a few employers. This cause me to go into a depression in which I started a three part vlog called Post-Grad Chronicles.
Post-Grad Chronicles Part 1: Transition Period of Awareness
Post-Grad Chronicles Part 2: Season of Understanding
Post-Grad Chronicles Part 3: Coming Soon!
What I have learn going to through this chapter is never give up. All the tears I cried at night will be worth it in the end. It also taught me about what I will experience when I do pursue to get my own writing to get my work publish. But most of all, that I’m not alone in this journey that that there are many other people who are going through this. I’m glad that I’m using my voice and my words to speak on this topic.
Silent Season
I’ve been dealing with a lot about my spirituality in the last few months. I’m come to find out that I’m dealing with Silent Seasons. I feel as though I’m on a different frequency with God and I’m trying to get back. You know how you are in the car and you are driving through the mountains but at the same time trying to find the station. As you are turning the nob on the radio you try very hard not to missed the song that would pop up but you do anyway. That’s what I’m experiencing. It’s not fun. This is what I hope to explore during my Chapter 28
Working with Others
I learned hands down, I’m glad in college they made us work in group projects because what I have experience in this season was no joke. You can’t work with everybody. It’s hard as hell. I learned that individuals can’t make up their minds, don’t follow through on their parts and are dependable. But most of all they think about themselves in the project and not everybody as a whole and think around their schedule. I know this will help me in my next chapter of my life, but it also taught me to speak up and also know when to take an “L” in a unorganized and dysfunctional atmosphere. Let’s just say, I’ll see everybody in 2027 to get together. My patience has expired.
Overall, what can I expect in Chapter 28. Well it hasn’t been written yet, nor I haven’t got the chance to pick it up. I will say it will be challenging, but I’m nervous going into it. Everybody’s authentic journey is different. I’m just here to tell you all let’s explore it together. Let’s make new memories and most of all, claim victory in this next chapter of life and do something outside the box. Goodbye Chapter 27, Hello Chapter 28. Until next time OneSelfers
