Hey there!

Hi, I’m Sara, a northern lass who is approaching 30 and just doesn’t know what she is doing with life! A crazy, anxious, indecisive human who just wants to find her bloody ‘purpose’. Thanks for visiting!

PS. No that ain’t me in the pic, my home definitely isn’t that Instagram worthy. I’m currently on a mattress on the floor with a bottle of port – gotta keep it realistic for you!

Hey there!

About Me

Hi, I’m Sara. Previously an Operations Manager, I recently became redundant during the Covid-19 nightmare that is our current lives and have now been faced with the big fat question I have been happily avoiding for years – what do I want to do with my life? I haven’t worked out something that most of my friends figured out in sixth form. So, people reading, I thought I would do what everyone in my generation seems to be doing and write a blog, in the hopes that getting things down on paper will help me solve the ramblings in my head.

Why not follow me on Instagram…

Well it’s been a long time since I’ve said this but today has been a good day! I have a property viewing for tomorrow (living with my parents is kinda hindering the sexy time in my relationship) AND I have had a successful interview! Fingers crossed this is the start of something good... My latest ramblings on what rejection has taught me so far. Just some thoughts I wanted to get down on paper on this sunny Saturday morning. Check it out - link to website in bio So today I have been told that, based on my CV, I come across as a ‘doer’ and not an ‘achiever’... which apparently isn’t great. The many, MANY applications that have been met with a stony silence are starting to make sense. If I’m honest, I was a bit offended when I first read it, but sometimes what we need is a bit of constructive criticism. Guess I will be spending the day redoing my CV 👍🏻 What are you all up to this fabulous Friday? So, 2 interviews done and 2 rejections followed...not how I wanted to start the week. But if the last few months have taught me anything, it’s the need to pick yourself up, brush yourself off and start again. It may be hard some days to believe in yourself, but if you manage it than that’s half the battle! So it has certainly been a bit of a difficult road recently. But I am trying to focus on the positives rather than drown in the negatives. So, this week, I have had 2 interviews and that is a great start to rebuilding my life. It’s in my control to make my destination beautiful! It may take some time, but I will get there... “But whilst I am sprouting what can only be described as verbal diarrhoea at the interviewer, watching them make futile notes as I try to convince them of something I am not even sure of anymore, all I want to do is scream at them ‘Please, give me a chance! I can do this! I just need to be given the chance!” Taking a pause to gather my thoughts and prepare for my interview tomorrow. So next week is a week of interviews and honestly, I am terrified. The self doubt is creeping in and the longer I think about it the more I end up telling myself I can’t do this. Currently, I fear failure. I know it’s a learning process, but right now I just don’t want to keep failing. After over 100 applications, plenty of rejection and failed interviews, I dread failing again. I know that those jobs just weren’t for me, and it takes me one step closer to the finding the right role. But after while it really starts to chip away your confidence... Hopefully a new day tomorrow will bring fresh perspective... Day one certainly didn’t disappoint! How tiny problems can seem when you are standing on top of the world! It was lovely to get out of my head for a bit and just enjoy myself. Hopefully my problems aren’t waiting for me at the bottom!

Maybe you have experienced something similar and want to share? Maybe you are as confused with life as I am? Maybe you just wanna say hey? Either way, why not get in touch…
