You’ve held yourself together so well that no one sees how close you are to breaking. You laugh, you function, you survive — quietly. But strength isn’t pretending you’re fine. It’s admitting you’re tired, yet still choosing to keep going. You’re not weak — you’re human. 🌿

I tell you, I am in a bit of a quandary. I use to be going forward with confidence. Now I'm going forward. With less confidence. I have 35 years of success. Then recently 6 bad years.
This last 6 years I'm having a difficult time shaking it off.

I received an offer from a company I met at a career fair. The salary was less than my other two offers but the location was where I wanted to be.

Sent a follow up email w/no response. Is she ignoring me on purpose? I really like the company
