I feel a shift in my life coming. Whether it’s good or bad, I don’t know.
But I feel this wave of indifference about to crash on my doorstep. Have you ever felt that? Like you know things are about to change in some way but you can’t describe it?
I just recently interviewed for a news reporter job with a local newspaper bought by Gannett. The opportunities are immense and I am excited for the reality that I may be picked for the job.
My husband always tells me to sell myself, but I just lay back and sit, scared to death of sounding idiotic or dumb.
But not this time. No, no. This interview went well. I was honest and acted as if I knew what I had to offer, but not in an arrogant way.
This job is mine. I have claimed it since I sent in the writing test. I try not to get too excited about things I really want, so I won’t be left disappointed and doubting myself again.
Even if I don’t get it, (which I really think I will) I feel a tide shifting. I hope it shifts with me and not over me this time, like it always does before.
