"Mo - Fun"
I am about to embark on a new chapter of my life. After a three year hiatus, I finally have a job in the USA. I feel intimidated, unsure, incapable, and lonely while I also feel content, strong, accomplished, and relentless. Many of us might not think seeking a job in the US is an uphill task but I agree to disagree given the complexity of the process and the current job market.
Having said that I think if I can make it so can anybody. For reference, I am a mother of an 11-month-old, a current "housewife", a full-time MBA student, and an optimistic gal. However, I have felt low many a time. By low, I mean a rock bottom low where I have found it hard to make meaningful relationships, or maybe, I am not so keen to make one. All said I think what fulfills me the most is my "me" time and happy moments with my "little man".
Life is not easy for anyone. Neither for me. Being away from family, staying in a new country, and living the American dream might sound very envious to others, but having gone through these stages does not happen without making some solid sacrifices. I left my flourishing career back in India to join my husband make a career of his own. I don't blame anybody but when I reflect on my past choices, I could have been more mindful of my choices. Mindful of how they would not only impact my short-term but long-term as well. Today I stand here, cheerful and all set to share how happy I am with my new job and career advancement but when I look into my past, I have some regrets. I call them "areas of improvement" on my life resume that I think could have been avoided had I given them better consideration than I did in reality. Maybe in the parallel world, I could be doing something, who knows. Life teaches us lessons. I have had a fair share of those already. I call them learning for next time but I see that my book of lessons has already been full for a while and I better rework or start a new book altogether. What name do you suggest?
P.S.: I listened to the music, Moh-Funk by Advaita this morning and felt like having smoked up. You must try it; the music I mean.
What were you thinking?
