Chapter 320: I've not been well recently

 Not sure how to begin this post. My heart is beating really fast right now and I need to vent my feelings somewhere.

I haven't been in a good mental state for a while now. I am suffering. I have been trying my best to see the good in everything and it has been exhausting. I guess I'd been dismissing my negative feelings because I feel like I should be grateful and appreciative for everything I have right now - which I am, don't get me wrong. 

I'm having a difficult time relaxing properly recently. Even when I'm just chilling and watching Netflix, a sense of uneasiness just comes creeping on me; and it stays with me. I can't find anything that makes me happy anymore. I just feel so restless and on most days I feel like I've lost my sense of identity. 

All the things that once make me happy have lost their ability to do so. I feel like a lifeless robot each day, just surviving and not living. Achievements aren't able to make me feel anything too. In fact they make me doubt myself even more. Am I good enough? Am I capable to handle the responsibilities they entrusted me to? I understand that growth comes with adversity, but I feel like I've been stretched out to the maximum and if stretched any further I might just snap. Or maybe I already have.

"Just be grateful you still have a job."

"At least you still got your promotion."

"Just stay put. It's hard to find a job in this pandemic."

These are the kind of words that kill people. 

I don't know myself anymore.

People have been asking me why I am not leaving yet. Perhaps it's also my fault for overthinking things. I like to plan ahead, despite the fact that most of my plans so far have gone down the drain. My important plans have yet to materialise. 

I know I shouldn't be dismissing my achievements - after all they are the reason why I have been hustling so hard right? But why do I not feel happy? Why do I feel unaccomplished? There is always a constant feeling that I'm not good enough. No matter how much I try I just can't seem to be operating at my best. I know for a fact that there are people better than me and deserve way more. 

I'm not sure where I stand now.

Yes, I admit I have been provided really rare opportunities that could shape my career and my leadership skills. However, I'm not sure if I'm really up for it. My mental state hasn't been the best since then. It's probably due to the steep learning curve and to be honest I believe I can perform better if they had given me the time to rest. I have been working non-stop this year without any long breaks and I am breaking apart. 

What's next for me? 

I'm actively looking for opportunities and networking on LinkedIn. I've also approached the HRs of certain companies to find out for any availability of the roles I'm looking for. 

Hopefully there will be a rainbow for me in 2020. The above is only a certain portion of my thoughts and currently I can't bring myself to write it all out.

    I'm happy for you. You did it. Not just in work, but in other aspects as well. Keep it up.

Who Diz?

Hi I'm Celine. No I don't expect you to know me - hence this tab. I don't expect myself to update this tab every other year either, so you don't have to ask my age, though you can probably guess my age if you are keen to stalk my whole blog lol. Anyway, I have trouble coming up with my bio as I don't want to sound self-absorbed but haaaaaaaaa in the end this is my blog, I am supposed to sound self-absorbed. I am married with three cats and four dogs. Did I get your attention now? Alright. For real though, I am currently still a student with a non-midlife existential crisis at the moment waiting for my results to be released which will determine a life or death situation aka will I eventually graduate or not? (p.s. ACCA students, I got your back. *gang sign*) I enjoy mocking and irritating people in my free time, but I also love playing tennis. I live for the satisfaction of sarcasm, but I also do enjoy a good cup of coffee to go with it. I sometimes p...

Chapter 315: Year End Review 2017

I know I haven't been diligent in updating this space even though there were times that I wish I did when I had something on my mind. Year end reviews have been something I do on a yearly basis so I don't wanna leave this out for 2017! I'll just merge this together with my life updates in this post. And as usual, I'm gonna use my instagram as a guide wtf I'm that lazy. 1. I Graduated and Became an ACCA Affiliate *Please bear with the super low quality pic I regret not bringing my DSLR okay?? This is something I feel extremely lucky about. Anything could have happened to my last paper. And I was intimidated from the stories I heard about failing ACCA, sometimes more than once. I took the leap of faith and just did it, at the same time giving room to myself for maximum 1 failure attempt. I can't believe I completed it without any failures, something I owe it to my lecturers, family and friends. I know it's not the end, and I have so many more things...

Chapter 314: This piece of shit

I have not posted something so raw in my blog before, but here goes nothing. We met on the court, started off as friends, tennis mates, nothing more. It's funny because prior to that, we always missed meeting each other. When I was there, he wasn't, vice versa. A few months later, we started talking to each other more, and the rest, as they say, is history. Side story though - I actually rejected him once because I wasn't sure if I was ready for a relationship, but he persisted on. I'm glad he did. He is the kind of guy who is witty without even trying, always making me burst out in laughter without fail. He is generous and helpful to everyone, even to strangers. But it's a different story after knowing him HAHAHA no la joking. I'm glad that we have the same interests, and the same kind of humor. We have an imperfect relationship, but he never once raised his voice at me. He taught me that love isn't merely spoken words, it's the actions that make ...
