A year ago today, I was fired from a job that I loved and was very, very good at, for reasons that were suspect at best. I worked very hard to keep most of you from seeing it, but I was depressed, angry, and lost. My self esteem obliterated, my identity shattered. The life I worked so hard for completely and utterly fell apart. It was mostly a year of downs, and to keep depression at bay, I poured myself into creating my blog, and making plans for the future. Despite this, there were many days that I thought I couldnt make it, and I was consumed by fear, and anger, and questioning myself. Why had this happened? I hadnt done anything wrong. I was a model employee. HOW could this happen? Sometimes, I literally wanted to die. It was extremely difficult maintaining a facade that everything was okay, that I was strong, and everything was great. But I stayed determined to make a future for myself in the industry I loved, no matter what. It kept me going. My friends kept me going. Johnny kept me going. In the end, one year later, everything has turned around. I dont just have a job, I have a new career path. I am still involved in the lingerie industry, and love it more than ever. I have my self esteem back. Some people told me its just a job, get over it. Word of advice. NEVER tell an unemployed person that. EVER. Its not just a job. Its independence. Its the roof over your head. Its the food on your plate. But most importantly, its self confidence and self worth. I learned that this year. I also learned the value of friends and family. I learned to never give up. So thank you, so much to everyone who supported me during this time, I appreciate it more than you will ever, ever know. And now...onwards and upwards!
