I’m entering a new phase in my work life, and it’s scary and thrilling at the same time. I’m a person who hates changes, who resists it with every fiber of my being, which may be surprising given how often I change this blog layout. I just like the comfort of things that I know, doing my routine, living life where I feel like I have control and there’s no uncertainty.

But to get ahead, I need to open myself to new things, new experiences. It’s scary and as much as I want to just dip my toe in the pool of the unknown, often with work I’m forced to just jump in, flailing and hoping to stay afloat.

Of course, everything is ok, I’m doing just fine. Things were a little shaky in the beginning, but just like the other times I’ve been exposed to something new, I’ve done much better than I expected. I guess I just doubt myself and my abilities, worried that I’ll be a failure and that the powers that be at X Inc. will find out and fire my ass, leaving Bennie with an unemployed mother forced to sell crack on the streets just so her baby can eat a piece of bread.

But yeah, this new phase of my career isn’t as scary as I thought it would be. I’m actually settling into it quite well. I’m ready for the next curveball you’re gonna throw at me, X Inc!
