New Beginning

With the approach of summer comes the ever dreaded realization that you have yet to accomplish anything listed in your new year's resolution. For me, it was maintaining a healthier lifestyle which has proven to be a complicated routine to keep up with. This year has been a whirlwind of craziness. First, I didn't know what was going to happen at my job with all the changes going around: coworkers were leaving to move onto bigger and better things, new coworkers were coming in (and continue coming in) and the customer service department was looking for a new employee to take over the fulfillment aspect of my job. With all of this happening, rather slowly I might add, I continued my daily duties which were soon becoming stressful and mundane. Once we finally found a suitable candidate, I came to realize that my workload had significantly decreased and I no longer had enough motivation to wake up and go to work. Of course, my anxiety and depression (currently being treated) only contributed to this. It was a stressful time for me. I tried my best to keep up and fill my day with other tasks which didn't necessarily pertain to me, but at this point, I was desperate and didn't really know what my job was anymore. I was stuck in the middle with no real "home."

To my surprise, not long after this, I was suddenly whisked away and taken in by the marketing department. It was as if my fairy godmother showed up at the perfect moment to take me to the ball. I began helping the team about a month ago as soon as I found out the news. Since then, I have been involved in more meetings and have had my days fill up more and more.

But the best news of all came just a few days ago. I was taken to the VP of Marketing's office and told that I was being promoted. Even though I had seen it coming, it still came as a shock to me. I was filled with excitement and suddenly felt a rush of motivation overcome me. I will now be working as a Marketing Specialist. The title, while slightly intimidating, is a big step away from what I have gained experience in. However, working in customer service has given me insight into the main process of customer satisfaction and allows me to incorporate what I know into my new position. This is definitely an exciting opportunity for me and even though I am terrified as I usually am with any new thing that comes my way, I am extremely grateful and encouraged to learn new things. I am also hoping that amidst all of this, I come to find my one true passion.

Here To Stay

Tenía 6 meses cuando mis padres trajeron a mí y a mis hermanos a los Estados Unidos. Querían una vida mejor para nosotros. Esperaban que tuviéramos más de lo que ya teníamos en México. Eso es lo que esperaban. I'm sorry, this is America. In America, we speak English. I was brought to the United States as a 6 month old baby with my siblings. My parents, hoping for a better future and more opportunities, uprooted our family here. That's what they hoped. I've been here for about 26 years of my life. 1 and a half of those years were spent in Mexico. One year was spent back in Mexico when I was 4 years old. I still had a visa then so we were able to go back. I was about 5 when I came back with a visa. Still a child and still naive to what our situation would later become. At 27 years old, I am an undocumented immigrant, or illegal alien as some would say. 22 of those years were lived with the uncertainty of what the next day would bring living here undocumented. I could ...

Positivity

Do you ever wish you could reach out to someone to tell them some good news, but this person is no longer in your life and you have no way of communicating because you deleted all forms of communication long ago? Because at the time, you were so angry and hurt. I'm sure we all go through this at one point or another.                                         *** It's been a little over 9 months. And in the past couple of weeks, the year is slowly shaping out to be a good year. I was able to go on vacation for a week and a half and it was one of my favorite vacations I've been on. The first few days were completely liberating since I went off to Texas completely alone. I met some great people there, saw some amazing sights, and never truly felt alone during my time in both San Antonio and Austin. Then I went off to Orlando with my best friend to celebrate our 13 years of friendship. ...

Happiness

You may think the title is a mistake, but it's not. This is a happy blog post. And I don't just mean a positive one. I mean, it's genuinely about me being happy. It's crazy. And I know this happiness may not be long lasting. But all I know is that in this moment, I feel happy. I accomplished some things that I didn't think I would be able to accomplish this week. I conquered a few small, but significant feats. They were personal feats that I wanted to accomplish, but didn't know when I'd be ready to take the plunge. You may have noticed in one of my earlier blogs this year how I mentioned that I had begun a new chapter of my dating life. Well, that was put on a break for a few months up until a few weeks ago. I had gone out and met a few guys a few months after my breakup, but it was still relatively tough for me to get back out there. The reason was that dating was and is still a very challenging task. Meeting new people has never been easy for me. Espe...
