I've returned...
I hadn’t written in ages—literally years. And I know there aren’t many people who read this, so I doubt anyone really missed me here. But still, this space feels good. It’s like my little corner to vent, to unpack life and everything that’s happened.
Over these years I’ve travelled, landed jobs, lost them, and somehow found my way back to myself. Or at least I’m on the way—kind of like that new Brandi Carlile song.
Where do I even begin… I’ve been to El Salvador (2022), Nicaragua, Montreal (2023), Belize, San Diego, San Francisco (2024), and this year I went back to Costa Rica and Nicaragua. It feels like I’m finally doing something I’ve always loved.
Work-wise, I spent time at two big companies, both in Procurement—and honestly, I hated it. The first one was just awful: the team, the people, the way they worked… it all felt so disconnected, so lacking in any human sense. The second one made me realise something important: I need to see the impact of my work firsthand. I can’t work for a plant that’s thousands of kilometres away, somewhere I’ve never been and probably never will. It’s like working blindfolded. How am I supposed to understand what people need if I’ve never even stepped into their space? Also, the industry itself wasn’t really my thing. Just… meh.
The truth is, I’m genuinely passionate about fashion and the arts. So I’ve finally decided to enrol in a specialised course. It feels right.
And beyond all that… I think I’ve landed a job at a foundation. If it works out, it’ll be amazing to actually see the people I’m impacting, to feel that connection.
That’s all for now. Is anyone still reading these ramblings? Guess I’ll find out.
