I was feeling absolutely relieved this morning before going to bed. Mark and I have a beach trip this weekend and all week we had been dreading that it won't push through because of the gloomy weather.
But then I woke up to a text message by lunch time. I'm scheduled to go through a final interview for a job in a company I'm actually REALLY interested to be a part of. This will be on Saturday morning... at the exact same time we are scheduled to leave for Puerto Galera.
And so for one dramatic moment, the drama exaggerated by the fact that I was not thinking that straight since I just woke up, I asked myself: The Beach? Or a New Job?
The truth is choosing between the two is not really that big of a deal. The only concern is we we're supposed to leave with Mark's officemates.
But because of the interview, we can't do that anymore. I know Mark's a little disappointed. But the good thing is we can catch up with everyone the second my interview is over.
He's been so supportive. He knows I wanna make it to that interview. To get a shot at that job. To finally be able to be a part of a new company, a new environment, work with new people. Nothing's final yet, but to be able to take the opportunity to at least TRY to make it is the start of everything, right?
He knows how much I've been praying for this... more than anyone else.
So I guess to cut to the chase, today I learned how compromise and support is important in every relationship.
Because yes, my answer to the melodramatic question I posted upon myself in my half-awake state was: I WANT BOTH.
But whether I get one, or the other, or neither... knowing I have someone by my side who is willing to adjust things just so I could go after the things I want, is the warmest form of sunshine I am enjoying in my life right now.
May the following days bring more sun... and more good results, not just to me, but to everyone.
=)
