Almost four years as a civil servant.
One contract, one appointment, and one promotion in that short span. It has been an honor to serve my Province, even in the smallest role, in a quiet four-cornered room. Though my position was clerical, I gave my best to every task entrusted to me, including responsibilities beyond my job description. For that, I remain grateful.
I am thankful for the opportunities that came my way and for the people who patiently mentored me along the journey. I came in knowing very little, and I leave carrying lessons, skills, and experiences that helped shape who I am today. You are part of my growth, and I believe you know who you are.
Public service is often perceived as light or laid-back, but my experience taught me otherwise. I loved my work deeply, and I chose to leave before that love turned into something heavier.
Like any workplace, there are experiences meant to be learned from and left behind.
I choose to move forward with grace and to offer prayers instead of resentment. I strongly believe that every individual, regardless of position or title, plays an important role. Even the smallest contributions help move an institution forward.
To those who wondered why I left at an unexpected time, it was a decision made to protect myself. I chose to step away from situations that became too difficult to carry, so I could begin finding myself again. This chapter includes therapy, healing, and learning how to move forward with greater compassion for myself.
Mental health is real, and it matters. What once excited and motivated me gradually took a toll on my focus, confidence, and well-being. That realization became my wake-up call. Choosing myself was not an act of weakness, but of courage.
I am still healing, and recovery takes time. But I trust that, slowly and gently, I will get there.
without noise โ just clarity and grace ๐ค
