disappointment

i'm coming off of a crazy two weeks, last week was spent in vacation bliss, sorta - more to come, and the previous week was knee deep in interviews and preparations for vacation.

vacation was overall amazing, more exciting details to come on that, but I was always a bit preoccupied with the job. i rearranged my schedule to make a time available for a final skype interview and when the answer came yesterday that i did not receive the job, i was super crushed.

i don' even know what to say. i've been working towards this position for at least a year now. i feel a bit unclear of what to do, should i do anything at all.. i feel like I'm going through the 7 stages of grief.

i'm trying to remain positive, i have so many opportunities knocking on my door with Train with Purpose, and honestly, I feel like some weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I've been working extra hard since April in preparation for this job, going well above and beyond of what was expected of me that I've let a lot of personal things fall to the wayside. This decision has made it clear that I need to focus on me and my needs again.
