Lately, I have been so sleepy at work, I feel unmotivated. It all started when I realized the company is unable to recognize my exceptional talent and connect it to the proper rating.

Hello everyone, I know it has been a while. Since July, so much has happened: lots of tears, fighting fears, learning self-belief, and most importantly, disencumbering more chains. By the middle of July, I had a new car, started a new job, and got a new puppy. In July, my beloved Equinox gave out onContinue reading “Since July!”
