pause and reframe it

of course you will be hurt by a rejection, that’s pretty natural. I just went through the whole job process and got probably 15 rejections and all of them I figured if they didn’t want me then 1. They’re missing out 2. I wouldn’t want to work for a company that doesn’t recognize what I’m worth anyways. The fact that you even had the willingness to leave a bad work environment and make a change is an achievement in itself. keep going, the reality of job searches are that it takes a lot more rejections to get a few acceptances. Be proud of yourself for where you’ve gotten to, and go into each job posting or whatever it might be with the attitude that the right employer will recognize what you’re worth and take you on. Good luck

Shoot your shot

Maybe apply and do the interview and shoot for it! Even if you get denied you will probably learn what the employer is looking for and you can continue to hone your skills in a more specific way. The worst thing they can say is no !

Honestly, it feels kinda liberating 🧘‍♀️ Most of the people I had on there were my high school friends. Ever since I moved to a different country for uni, we’ve naturally drifted apart. We don’t really keep in touch anymore, whether it’s video calls, texting, or anything else. I kept it for so long because I thought it would be nice to see what my high school friends were up to and maybe update them on my life too. But after some serious journaling and being honest with myself, I realised there’s really no point in holding on to it anymore. I was keeping it around to give myself a sense of false hope—hoping that one day we’d reconnect and things would go back to how they were. But deep down, I know the chances of that are pretty slim. We’ve all moved on and grown in different directions, and that’s okay.

well.....this is kinda awkward....... 🫥

So, I'm just 10 days away from graduation, and today I was journaling, reflecting on my university journey. It's honestly mind-blowing to realise that I've gone through three years of university without being part of one of those friend groups you see everywhere—those tight-knit circles that attend classes together, study together, eat together. I did all of that solo. It's not to boast or anything; I just can't help but feel like I might have missed out on what many consider "the best part of their uni life." To be clear, I do have uni friends (all two of them), but it's not like we do things together much. Maybe I'll visit one of them once or twice a month. So yeah, I'm feeling a bit conflicted about it all. And I can already imagine how awkward it might be at the graduation ceremony when everyone else has flowers and gifts, and there I am, standing alone (it's kind of funny to think about, tbh). Overall, I think I struggle with making friends in general. It's not because I'm standoffish or anything like that; I just take a while to open up and let my guard down. I'm not great at small talk or joking around with people I've just met. Anyway, I'm not sure why I'm writing all this here, but I think I'll copy it into my journal now.
