    Hey there!

    I’m Calm Moon, and I’ve been looking for a job for a few months. I decided to leave my last job because it was impossible to handle all the negativity, overwhelming responsibilities, and lack of boundaries. I lost weight and became high alert. Now, after a few months, I’m struggling a bit with my financial situation and dealing with fears that I won’t be able to keep up with my expenses. I have a few job options, but some of them are in similar organizations to my previous one.

    When I left my job, my goal was to find a well-paying job with normal, fixed hours in an international environment. Right now, I have one such option. I went through the interview and completed the technical task. They are currently conducting interviews with other candidates, and the final interview should be in 1-2 weeks.

    I’m just a bit overwhelmed with everything going on in my life that requires money. I’m also applying for a Master’s program abroad and trying to get a scholarship. I decided to write here to stay focused and to remind myself that I’m doing okay and not being lazy. My brain is constantly on, and I’m finding it difficult to concentrate on anything right now. Thank you!

    Dear Calm Moon/ Altynay,

    Leaving a job that drained you—physically, emotionally, and energetically—was not a failure. It was a powerful act of self-protection. The toll it took on your body speaks volumes, and the fact that you’re still showing up, still applying, still dreaming of something better? That’s resilience.

    The job opportunity you described sounds aligned with the vision you set for yourself. Even if the outcome isn’t certain yet, the fact that you’re moving toward it with intention matters deeply.

    And applying for a Master’s program abroad while managing financial stress? That’s a lot for one nervous system to hold. It makes sense that your mind feels constantly “on.” You’re carrying multiple layers of uncertainty, and still showing up.

    So let this be your reminder: You are not behind. You are not failing. You are not lazy. You are doing the hard work of rebuilding with care and discernment.

    If it helps, you might anchor yourself with a mantra like: “I am allowed to move slowly. I am allowed to protect my peace. I am allowed to choose what aligns.”

    Sending you steadiness and respect as you move through this next chapter. You’re doing beautifully.

    Warmly, Anita

    Dear Anita,

    You can’t imagine how much your support uplifts me. Thank you for seeing my efforts and not only results. I live in a culture where only end result is seen and appreciated. Today I was thinking about taking a job which does not align with me and very similar to the previous work environment. But after your words, I again returned to my initial purpose and direction. Your support means a lot.

    Take care!

    Calm Moon
