The Leap.

Is this blog about parkour? No, it certainly is not. It’s about the tummy-turning moment when you finally realize that you want to step into the next phase of your professional life. Amid all the uncertainties of jumping into your desired industry, there is an exhilaration that is pretty remarkable. On one hand, I question whether or not I learned enough in college to finally make the jump. On the other, I feel as if I could/should have made this jump years before starting school. I think about how far I’d be by now if I made the leap 4 years ago. This line of thinking can be encouraging but can also fester the already nagging anxieties one can have when approaching this crossroads.

Though I am a naturally anxious person, I have found resolve in this dilemma. I have made the choice to just go for it. Sure, I still have my worries…my portfolio isn’t as filled out as I’d like yet and there are skills I am still mastering. It has been tough to make the leap because of those things, but I’m confident that the right job is out there for me. A job that takes me in and lets me flourish and grow.

The leap is hard…but I am finally doing it.
