Dear Beans, I’ve been following your Love February posts without signing in, and I have to say, this is indeed the best month of the year. You are all amazing, beanies. Thank you @hotcocoagirl for Love February.

I don’t really have much to say, except to express fear that my efforts over the past year, the heart and soul I poured into turning my life around, will come to naught at very final stage.

So this post is selfishly dedicated to me, less than a week from my 30th birthday, a pat on my back. You’ve done well, me. A little bit further to go. Don’t lose heart.

Love,
February

    We were thinking about you the other day on discord and were hoping things go well for you. Fighting!!

      We were, and we were saying that we miss hearing from you, but wish you all the best as you move forward on this new adventure. (Fingers and toes are crossed with the hope that all your hard work is acknowledged)

        Thank you. *fingers crossed. To be precise, of five applications, I have three interviews, one rejection without interview and one waitlist/ding (unknown). So it’s not bad. The interviews alone are a massive confidence boost. 🙂

          Good luck on your interviews.
          Just be yourself with maybe some Suga confidence sprinkled on top.

          I dont follow BTS but think you usually post about how he overcomes.

            😭 thank you. Yes! I must channel Suga.

            Hope all is well with all of you! 🙂

          3 interviews out of 5 applications already seems like a huge achievement. Applications are really competitive!!! This alone means your hard work has been acknowledged and you deserve to make it in. Now you just have to pass the next step.
          So close!!

            Second this. When I was looking for my first job, I only got 1 out of 50. 😢

            Thanks Sat. *fingers crossed! I’m pleased but still worried. 🙂

      Thank you blue! They actually are going good. I just have a last difficult hurdle to clear. 😅 And am becoming worried. Can’t wait to be done and join dramabeans again.

    Good luck! And remember – age is just a number and there are no rules about what you need to do or where you need to be at any time in your life. Don’t let it overwhelm you. Personally, for me, life got infinitely better after 30. You’re doing exactly what you need to do, and you’re exactly where you need to be, and what’s meant to be will be. You have done well, and I applaud you for taking the steps to do something with your life that will make you fulfilled. No effort is wasted effort when it comes to growth. Rooting for you and sending you all the good vibes!

      Everything will be fine after 30 is like my life’s motto. I’m pleased to hear it is the truth for you. Thanks Snarky. I hope all is well with you?

        Things are good here, except for the world being on fire (both metaphorically and literally). Still dealing with crazy work but not as overwhelmed as I was before. Hopefully I’ll be able to take a proper break soon. Good luck with your interviews! Are they coming up soon? I miss seeing you around these parts.

          Ooh I hope you’re able to take a nice break soon? Have something planned?

          Thanks for the best wishes. Yes, I’m done with one interview and have two more coming up. They’ll be done in Feb – and then I cannot wait to return full time to this little corner of the net.

            Well, I was planning to go to LA for a long weekend, but now I may have to go to the UK for a family wedding (so, need at least 5 days – because desi) so that’s a little up in the air. Also may need to go to Canada which also messes with my LA plans. And I wanted to make it to New York and DC this year because I haven’t been to either in a while and I have friends and family in both. But LA my priority and is happening the moment I can get it to work.

            Basically I will go somewhere by June, the question is mostly when and where. After June my mother is having surgery so I need to be here to help with that.

      Thanks parkchuna, I have a related question – how did you deal with the 30th birthday? 😂 I’m feeling old.

        a lot of whining! but snarky up there is right, age is just a number, once you hit 30 you’ll realise it’s no big deal..until you’re reaching the next decade and change of digits that is 😅 To comfort myself, I just think that everything has a time and place; and God’s timing is never wrong.

    a friend said to me yesterday, and I think it’s everything I want to say to you,

    “You’re perfect, and tomorrow is a new day. We just need to keep going forward.”

    One of my favorite quotes:

    T. E. Lawrence. All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

    May you be dangerous. Fighting!
