Where I'm Going

HAHAHA Do you know me? As if I ever had a clue what’s really next? It’s strange that I had this ‘dream’/goal of driving impact in 3rd world countries, and now that I’m here I’m just at a crossroads of what I want next. Maybe it’s an American thing: Go to school, get a job, get married, etc (Ohmigosh is that what’s next? Getting married?! Duck!) and I’ve reached my goal to a certain extent and now it feels like I’m recalibrating - almost starting over. Now I have a job, but how do I want to shape my career? What I’ve learned is that my guiding star is growth and impact. I left PwC because I had high growth but minimal impact. I left Komaza because I had high impact and low growth. My relationship was preventing me from growing, but maybe impact was there? And that’s what I’m using as my compass right now.

So while it does feel like since I turned 26, I’m writing similar learnings and having similar introspection and reflection, I’m ok with that. I don’t regret anything. I’ve learned more about myself, what I’m capable of, and I also learned what other people are capable of. I’d like to think I’m strong (I saw it and felt it in my family growing up), and we should all believe that about ourselves. I guess the only way to know the extent of that strength is when it’s tested unfortunately. And dayyum I am strong and resilient, let me tell you.

What a way to start the last year of my 20’s before the next decade of my life. If you’re reading this and part of the ride with me, I see you, I thank you, and I love you.

Now I will actually tell you what’s next...that drink on my table!
