Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Finally. It's done. Over with. Finished. Mission accomplished. The hardest part of my ordeal is through. I succeeded, and not a moment too soon. Felt like my sanity was slipping away, so now I can breathe easy. But just for a moment.

From this point on, things will take a new turn. A new journey will begin. For better or for worse, I can't say for sure. But now at least I can say that there is hope. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I can see it. But with every new experience, there are good and bad elements. I can foresee the former, it's the latter that worries me. Because it's usually the latter that I can't see coming. It's the latter that I need to prepare for.

So after several weeks of watching my future screw itself over with uncertainty, God finally threw me a lifeline. Now I can leave my current job knowing there's a safety net waiting for me. I will miss the old workplace though. It's not perfect. It never was. But I have been there long enough to see so many faces come and go. I made a few friends that I won't forget too soon. And despite all the pitfalls that came with it, I loved my job. I was just getting the hang of it, when management made another decision that wasn't in the staff's best interests. So now me and a handful of others had to make a decision we didn't want to make. And that's how I ended up here.

But who knows? This new place might be better. Fate has a way of making things work. I'm not saying that we should just let fate take the wheel. But I think there is a plan for us. Each of us. There is a reason for everything that happens. For a long time I had resisted leaving my current job. Perhaps now the right reason has presented itself. And thus my new adventure begins. I just hope fate lets me drive long enough to control what happens. I must not fail. As Ed Harris said in Apollo 13, failure is not an option.

Oh, in the meantime, feast your eyes on the new Transformers poster. Cool, huh?
