It kind of feels like I blinked and woke up when September ended. 😂 Most of the month was business as usual. The highlight was getting to leave Jakarta for a work retreat.

Another plus is that we’re one day closer to the upcoming “treat yourself, besties” holiday in mid-October! ☀️

But now that September is over, there are also so many things that I need to prepare for work-wise that have me sinking into my anxiety just a little bit more than usual. I signed a new contract that upped my pay, which is amazing, but it also really upped my responsibilities and I don’t know if I’m ready for that. My boss tells me it’s my lack of confidence that always gets in my way and I know she’s right, to an extent, but it’s still a lot. I’m incredibly thankful but also extremely nervous about living up to what the team needs and expects, too. Anyway, maybe I should focus on my holiday before thinking too hard about the rest of it, eh? 🫠🫣
