It has been all over the internet last year, 11,000+ employees of one of the most prominent companies in the Philippines were laid off. And yes, I am one of them.
At the beginning, I didn't think that it's a big deal as I believe that better opportunities will come to me for sure as I'm quite experienced and good at my professional field. And to be honest, I was totally tired of my job and just wanna take a rest, refresh myself a bit then to start the next journey.
However, things didn't go as my expectation and even went worse. I found that it's very hard to get an interview opportunity even when I sent out tens of resume and went for my familiar head hunters, no one replied. It's just like the end of the world and gave me anxiety and depression for a long time. My dad also told me that it's not the end of the road yet but I just can't help but keep pondering upon the situation and asking God why it happened to me.
For a long time, I just lay on my bed, listen to the music all day long, umm... sometimes cry a little. And one day, I was listening to the music again and suddenly realized that, it was totally a redirection for me! I used to set aside my dream and my love for the music because I spent all the time on my job, worked overtime everyday. And now, I'm totally free and it is the time to follow my heart, enjoy the music and enjoy singing again. I shouldn't be depressed at all. So I created a TikTok account immediately, practice singing everyday and try to upload a cover song every week.
Today, more and more followers will wait for my weekly updates, they also tell me that my songs do relieve their sadness and pain in their tough time. I didn't aim to advertise myself so I won't share my account with you here, I plan to execute this little by little for I believe small steps go a long way. I just wanna share my experiecne with people who also get lost somewhere: the opportunity will just come in a sudden and it's never too late to start, to recalibrate and to build once again even you have forgotten it for a little while.
May each of us continue to dream!
