Because this is my first post... after a really long time*

Yesterday, a friend asked me: "Ate, do you still update your blog?" To be honest, I haven't really thought about blogging in a really long time. Do people still blog? My mind has been too preoccupied in the past couple of years to even try to put my thoughts into words. Sure, I update Instagram and Twitter from time to time but that's it. Microblogging was the only thing I could afford to do in my spare time. But now it suddenly feels like I have all the time in the world. And I've never felt this way since forever. Because yesterday was my last day at work - a job I've had for the past 9.5 years of my life. Funny how it feels like I only started working yesterday. Time sure flew by so fast. But it hasn't sinked in yet. I waited for this moment for more than a year and now that it's here, it feels surreal. This crybaby didn't even shed a tear. The only time I felt emotional was when I returned my company ID. Maybe because technically, today was supposed to be my last day but since it's a holiday, I got an extra free day. But tomorrow will be different. I wouldn't be doing the things that I've been doing every single day for the past 9.5 years. How does one break a routine? And more importantly, how do you start a new one? I'm scared of this uncertainty but also excited about all the possibilities of where it will take me. As cliche as it sounds, I know that all of this is part of God's plan for me. So I will learn to trust Him, and let Him take control of my new journey. I may have lost something that has been part of me for almost a decade, but my job doesn't define me. I will take all the lessons and experiences I've accumulated over the years with me wherever I go, and for that I am nothing but thankful. From here on, it's an all new adventure. And I can't wait to face it head on.
