I achieved my dream in the worst year of my life

false

I got told this week I got my dream position at my job; to become an instructor and train new-hires. I waited half a decade for this opportunity. I always wanted to be a teacher and this helps fulfill that desire, even with adults lol. To say I was happy would be a severe understatement. I reached a long time goal and feel such pride in myself~

I think about how I almost didn't get this chance.

I was engaged and meant to be married in June of this year, move like 3 months later internationally. That all fell apart at the beginning of the year when his lies came to light (TL:DR, Alcoholism is a bitch, but his lying was worse). I had been planning to pull back from my job, my friends, and family so the transition from the USA to Europe with my would-be husband could be painless as could be. I didn't try to make more connections, I gave the minimum at work, I didn't try to grow here as my roots would be removed shortly after.

With no more future to look forward to, I fell apart, I lost myself in grief and heartache. I couldn't understand the future I had wanted for so long was destroyed. I slowly forced myself to take it day by day, alone. Returning to my family and friends for support. I returned to my spirituality for guidance and strength, and been on this long road of soul searching. (Also therapy helps so much)
I think of all the ways I chose to thrive since that fateful day; how I chose to live over mourn. Choosing authenticity over being palpable. Having had my Calling come to me. I've exploring parts of myself i've neglected for years, finding desire to live instead of survive. I made something of myself here. I found more than what I started with. More than I thought I could be. This year has been the happiest and the saddest I have ever been.

When all that is left is ashes, you will rise.
