Part 3 of 5 : Becoming Series |

The job I had…

The only thread my self-worth was hanging by…came to an end.

Oddly enough, I felt relieved.

Trying to keep up with work while carrying everything that was happening in my personal life had become impossible.

I had nothing left to give.

All I wanted to do was sleep.

Or stare at my phone for hours.

Anything that would stop me from thinking.

Anything that would keep me away from reality.

I questioned everything.

My existence.

My worth.

Who I was without a job.

Who I was without the person I called home.

For the first time in my life, I couldn’t recognise myself.

I even questioned God.

How could I not?

From where I was standing, it felt like He had taken everything away from me.

My eyes stayed swollen.

My face carried the weight of nights spent crying.

And yet…

Somewhere beneath all that pain…

There was a quiet feeling I couldn’t explain.

Almost as if something kept whispering,

“This will pass.”

I didn’t believe it immediately.

But I held onto it anyway.

I kept telling myself that if life was taking so much away from me…

maybe it was also trying to make room for something I couldn’t see yet.

Months later…

the answers slowly began to arrive.
