So Long B&B!

I hate endings. There is nothing else that saddens me more than watching an 11 o'clock number in a musical. It signifies that the end of the show is near. The show must end or else the musical would not make any sense at all. Same goes in real life. All good things must come to an end to make way for new beginnings.

I am going through a major change in my life right now. After 8 wonderful years, I have decided to leave B&B to pursue a new challenge with another company. I am excited and really looking forward to the new challenge, however, I could not help but feel sad as well. I guess you really can't help it when you've been at a company for that length of time. You grow roots and meet a lot of people through the years.
"People come into our lives for a reason. Bringing something we must learn
and we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them and we help them
in return. Because I knew you, I have been changed for good." -For Good (Wicked)

I am starting to feel like an emotional wreck going through the responses I got from work when I sent out my goodbye letter. I didn't think it would be this difficult and I really didn't think people cared this much regarding the service that I have provided for the company all these years.

I have always looked at working at B&B as a huge blessing. B&B has given me a lot of opportunities and experiences. It has prepared me for the next step in my career. I will always think of B&B as the place where I grew up. I am sad that it is going through difficult times right now and I really hope it pulls through and I do wish the company well.

I will be joining a new company soon. The job opportunity sounds very exciting. It felt like the perfect opportunity and I could not let it pass me by. I know that this next job will help me get to where I want to be in my career. I will be lying if I said that I am not scared. I don't know what the future holds for me but "it's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap!"
