No one talks about Resilience. Or Taxes for that matter.
I am building myself from the ground up, or at least it feels like
that. It's funny that I haven't felt truly affected by what's
happening around the world up and until I want to join it. Having
taken my time to unwind and decompress from a hectic work schedule,
it's time for me to get back into the thick of it. It's,
unfortunately, easier said than done with more competition and fewer
opportunities I feel like I'm auditioning for an elusive spot on drag
race. The frustration goes back to being in control and my love to be
in the driver's seat, or at least in the front. Knockbacks and
disappointments seem to be a bit of the theme currently, though I'm
trying to balance my perspectives with some worldly context. What I'd
like to believe is that wherever I end up next or opportunities are
afforded to me are for me and not against me. That this like a year in
lockdown is a lesson that is not passive but something I have to face
head-on. To get wet, graze my skin, feel the rush of being
unapologetically myself. To come out of it or at least to come with a
prize a stronger person.
