I know it’s taken me a while to write this chapter, but I think it needed to happen this way. Lots of things have happened in the last couple of months since the part 2. I’m glad I had already titled part 3 because, two mejor things happened, and YES, LITERALLY IT'S BEEN GODS PLAN.
I got promoted to the best place I could ever work at, cool people and awesome environment. The people that needed to be out of my life, well they are. I have really put everything into Gods hands and let everything flow like it’s supposed to… there’s so many things that has happened that I really have to take a moment and catch you up. 😅
So… last time I said everything about were I stood with my relationship, I gotta say that we had decided to take therapy together. We both had decided that there’s too much "good" to just give up because of outside circumstances that makes things questionable in our relationship. Going to therapy did helped understand each other’s perspective and where we were at mentally, I have to admit, we tried, but I think there's to many underline circumstances and just too many years of a different lifestyle that he just can't get away from. I decided to just end it before it just kept getting worse, and my mental health and happiness will go full ZERO. Honestly I feel a sense of relief, I tried my best in understanding, giving him multiple opportunities and try every avenue I could possibly do since last November. I wish him the very best and I can only hope that his life continues to go in the right directions and not the wrong ones.
Going back to the promotion 😇
Let me tell you how it went down… There was a lot of turmoil when one spot open up for promotion. Myself and two other people who I considered “friends” applied for the position. Everyone was exited and nervous, I started to actually reach out to people who I consider would be the best in the business and teach me things I still had yet to learn. Well apparently, even though it was known that I wanted to promote since I got hired, it was said that, I was going behind the other’s back and “acting” different towards them two, doing what I can to get promoted even if I crossing the professional line (sexual incinuations). I never felt so shocked that the two people I considered my friends, insinuated that and start telling people that! But anyways, the first round I did not get it, one of them did and I was truly happy for her because I actually got to know her in a personal level and I knew she needed this promotion, so I was happy for her, even though after the announcement of her promotion all those other things were said. I was started to get uncomfortable at work due to the other person, but I knew God had a plan because not long after that, we were invited to help out in an inventory at another store. There I saw catches up with some other associates that are in the position that I wanted to promote to. I was just talking to one of them about the differences of the stores between hers, mine and the one we were visiting. The store manager of that store was listening to our conversation, and I'm not joking guys, I think she took all the conversation about everything that I was doing to get my store asa her own interview, because not much longer, our lead asked me and the other person who also wanted to promote, if one of us will transfer there and help out and kinda set ourselves up for the promo and just show the Store Manager what we got. It took me like 7 min to think about it and discuss it with my mom, and knowing what was being said of me, I didn't want to lose the opportunity. I also just wanted to get out of the toxic environment that my store was creating, I just wanted to do my own thing and focus more on what I really wanted for my career. So I took the job!
Like I said I'm glad that I had titled this before all of this because now I am where I wanted to be, I got the promotion and I'm working with such awesome people and the other two, they did also get promoted, but they both kinda separated from the team and showed their colors. People asked me what happened and I was honest about it. I wish them both the best and I have never been the type of person to never feel jealousy or envy about other peoples success, on the contrary, I am truly happy that all 3 of us got what we wanted. I am sadden that they would think I was that type of person and said those things about me. Life goes on and life will show them the reality. I can only hope that their lives are blessed and that they achieve all of their goals. Unfortunately, I know our friendship will never be the same but I hope for at least that we can still be in the same room and have normal conversations.
When you really leave everything in Gods hands, it doesn't matter what obstacles come your way, you will get what you worked for. I kept persevering and my work showed. I was just myself and now I work with an awesome team. Not only at my new store but also with the APOC Team. I'm truly blessed with everything God is taking and putting in my path, I really have to say THANK YOU GOD. He is showing me that leaving everything in his hands and trusting and knowing that everything will fall in place. I know I'm not super religious but I do believe in good things happen to those who believe and trust in the Lord. So for those of you who are having tough times, just believe and let everything in his hands, it'll work out just trust.
