If my life were a movie, this would be the scene where everything shifts. You know the one—the protagonist, who’s always been in control, suddenly finds herself in unfamiliar territory. It’s the moment after the storm, where she’s left picking up the pieces, trying to make sense of what just happened. For me, that moment came when I was laid off during maternity leave. One day, I was balancing work responsibilities, QA one one ones, and timesheet reports. The next, I was home full-time, caring for my newborn, managing a household with five pets (including a diabetic cat), and wrestling with an overwhelming sense of guilt. The Unexpected Plot Twist I’ve been working since I was 16. Earning my own income was more than just a paycheck—it was a piece of my identity. It meant independence, security, and the ability to contribute financially to my household.

Panic, distortion, instability. The act in mind of not knowing what is the next step. Where this road leads you may not be the question at all. In fact the question is WHICH road to take. There is so many. There is the road to happiness, sadness and loneliness. Only that with each comes great obstacles and more hidden roads. Sometimes the choice you make can affect your journey. Instead of heading on the road to perfection there are going to be mistakes made...lots of them and in those mistakes you will end up in other roads and these roads are the little roads within your road that takes you far from where you wanted to be. It is really up to you and you only to get back on that road. Never forget the mistakes that took you there and keep looking forward and stay positive. Advice for myself that I know for a fact I will ignore.
