Now that the welcome post has been done, here is a recent random thought...

Lately I’ve been feeling stuck career-wise. Not in the sense that I don’t want to move forward, but more that I don’t really know how. Burnout has this way of making everything feel heavier than it should. Like even thinking about the “next step” feels exhausting.

I keep coming back to this idea of re-learning what actually matters to me. Figuring out how to align the work I do with the values I care about. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice? it feels like trying to solve a puzzle while the pieces keep changing shape.

Maybe this is just what the process looks like....messy, unclear, uncomfortable. But I guess that’s the work? sitting in the uncertainty long enough to start seeing the outline of something new.

I recently attended a panel about the future of work and one of the quotes that stuck with me was:

"Tomorrow's jobs belong to today's learners"

So I am now partially leaning into getting back to active learning to seek a path forward.

If only Starfleet was a real thing. I'd be there in a heartbeat.😅
