Sorry folks if I’ve been out of commission for the past 3 days. It’s due to that full onset of both fever, flu and coughing all at once. It’s the bad one. On the bright side though, I don’t really fall sick that often in recent years (thanks to mask wearing being a norm now). The only reason I fell sick is very likely due to the recent stress and pressures of managing a final school assignment as well as working on a freelance project while dealing with all the stressors at home. Yeah, it’s a lot even for just anyone. You know what? I think I handled it all like a champ nonetheless. Sure, I was absolutely T.K.O-ed by the end of it, but it is really how I chose to go out that made me feel really good about myself. I did extremely well on my final school project, and I also gave my absolutely best to my current freelance project, making it my best work so far (as far as version 1.0 releases are concerned).

This recent long weekend of resting, sleeping and hydrating myself felt more like a proper reset than anything else. A way to finally mark the previous chapter of my journey as closed 🔒 and now I can finally move forward onto other opportunities. In a recent blog post, I wrote about the importance of not just finishing what we have started, but also how we choose to finish it that matters. I know with both a peace of mind and quiet confidence that I was able to do that with both commitments (as exhausted as I was by the end of the chapter).

As I gradually find the strength to bounce back today, I’m also beginning to look forward. I choose to trust in the process. I choose to trust in the Universe. I choose to trust that God has already prepared all of the right opportunities that I needed. All the right referrals, the right projects so that I will be able to properly support and take care of my family.
