I wrote this reflection back in March 2017 as a private, unpublished Tiny Letter, a few weeks after getting laid off. Wrapped in my own dark realm of emotions, I was unsure about sharing these words beyond a private circle. But looking back, I’d like to share it 6 months later, in case anyone who feels this way now, can find solace in knowing they’re not alone, and life is always moving, shifting into a different place. And, as dark as I felt, these words are some of the truest words that I think I have written about my emotions.
