FROM DREAMING TO ACTUALLY LIVING IT

Life update: I am finally employed.

Not just in a random job, but in the role I genuinely wanted "Human Resources Executive".

My interest in HR started much earlier than college. It was because of my elder sister, who work as an HR. Growing up, I admired the confidence she carried and the responsibility that came with her role. I don't know if "power" is the perfect word, but I was fascinated by the influence she had and the way she handled people and situations. Watching her made me curious about the profession, and over time that curiosity grew into a dream. I wanted to become an HR professional too.

However, life rarely follows a straight path.

I pursued a Bachelor's degree in English Language and Literature, and for a long time, I wasn't even sure whether I could enter the field of HR. There were moments when the dream felt distant and uncertain. I often wondered whether my educational background would allow me to pursue the career I truly wanted.

The last month, especially, was difficult.

Being unemployed brought a lot of stress and confusion. I constantly questioned myself. Should I accept any job that came my way? Should I settle for something unrelated to my goals? Or should I wait and take a chance on the opportunities I truly wanted?

It felt like I was standing at a crossroads every day. That month was filled with uncertainty, self-doubt, and countless thoughts about the future. There were days when I wondered if I was making the right decisions at all.

But today, I can finally say that it was worth the wait. I am now working as an HR Executive in an IT company.

Even writing those words feels surreal.

There is something incredibly special about moving from dreaming about a future to actually living it. The dream that once felt so far away is now a part of my everyday life. It reminds me that sometimes the waiting, the uncertainty, and the difficult moments are all part of the journey.

I know this is only the beginning, and there is still so much to learn. There will be new challenges, new experiences, and many opportunities for growth. But today, I am allowing myself to celebrate this moment.

Because for the first time in a long while, I am exactly where I hoped I would be.

The journey from uncertainty to certainty, from dreaming to living the dream, has taught me that patience is not always easy, but it can be worth it.

And for that, I am grateful.

This is only the beginning, but it already feels like a dream come true.
