New Phase of Life

As I move on to the next phase of my life, an overwhelming sense of guilt, nostalgia and pain engulf me.

9.5 years is a long time. One-third of my existence. And yet, it seems incredibly minute viewed in hindsight.

Every time I got pushback from teams for lack of reasoning, when projects didn’t do well, when professional commitments seemed exhausting because of personal reasons – it made me wonder if I’ll ever be able to succeed in my career and life.

And today, here I am. About to clock in the last 24 hours at a place which has defined my youth, my growth, and everything I’ve learnt so far.

They say last days are more painful for those you leave behind. But it’s most painful for the person who’s leaving all the memories behind.

Every memorable moment etched in memory. Every laugh, tear, conversation, advice that made an impact.

I don’t know where life will take me from here. But I know my heart is filled with love and gratitude for the smallest and biggest of times that helped me get to where I am today, and will carry me forward to better and (hopefully) more beautiful moments for years to come.
