2025: I moved out in the middle of a night 🫨

Reflecting on my journey these past few years, I realize how much each milestone shaped my growth and perspectives. Graduating on time, even with a LOA, taught me resilience and the importance of pacing myself through challenges. Achieving the ARSM in Piano was a personal triumph that refined my discipline and passion for music. The process of obtaining my CEA licence with just one attempt boosted my confidence and professional skills, leading to a promotion to Assistant Mortgage Manager (AMM) — a rewarding step in my career. Moving out wasn’t just about changing locations; it was a major life event spurred by difficult circumstances at home. Although I got kicked out, it pushed me toward independence and ultimately enhanced my relationship with my fiancé as we began renting together. Alongside these personal milestones, gaining experience through five internships over three years helped me build a versatile skill set and expand my network. For anyone navigating similar transitions, whether it’s career advancements or personal upheavals, embracing change and staying open to new opportunities is key. I also want to highlight how these experiences connect with the themes of dealing with toxic environments and finding your own path. Moving out abruptly sometimes feels scary, but it can lead to positive new chapters. I hope sharing my story encourages others facing similar situations to seek support and believe in their resilience.
