I am going to do something a little bit out of the norm, usually I try to keep this blog away from a journal (which I have, and I just finished one so I got a cute new Kate Spade one woohoo) and more of an emotional depot, but I owe a post to my beloved Nordstrom. I just wanna put a little piece of something that is going on in my itsy bitsy world. Anyone who knows me on some kind of level knows that I have always had a love, like a deep, burning, crazy love, for Nordstrom. Something about the gray, clean, classy bags, something about the smell of the store, something about the word Nordstrom excites my heart. Aside from my love for clothes, I have a deep infatuation for this company.
A little over four months ago I realized I needed to change something in my life. I was sad, sad beyond a sad I have ever expirienced and if you know me or if you have read from previous posts I am sure you can assume why, but nevertheless I was bummed. I decided to get a job- like a real life one where I had to interview and pay taxes and all that jazz. I decided to shoot for the moon, my moon, my world- Nordstrom. Much to my pleasant surprise, I landed my dream job. I am not exaggerating when I say this is my dream, like I drool at the thought of Nordstrom. This job came into my life at a time when I was struggling to stay afloat. Granted, going to school from 7:30-1:30 then working from 2-9:30 was tough, and I am still amazed that I got to work while managing to touch up makeup, change shoes, and stuff a Luna bar into my face, all while cruising along the 202- but I did it. This job, this dream, was an escape for me. It was a distraction from my everyday woes that I was experiencing. At Nordstrom I was not the broken girl, I was not the girl planning the Disney trip, I was not the girl who was bummed at school or the girl that cried in passing periods, I was me. I could be whoever I wanted to be, I was a hard worker who smiles at customers and literally shopped for people all day. Not gonna lie, my nights were often brightened when cute boys would come visit me, and that made my dream even more special.
Yesterday I put a pause on my dream, I said a temporary goodbye to my favorite company with some of my favorite people because I am embarking on a new journey to be nanny for an amazing family in Malaysia, and I am so elated and thankful for this opportunity. But goodbyes are hard, they suck. I have never had something in my life ever where I have had to say so many goodbyes to people that literally were my floaties, people that do not even know they were this to me. I love Nordstrom and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that company gave me, but I am so looking forward to these next four months and I do a happy dance when I think of living 9000 miles away from sucky boys, and give my mom a hug when I realize I will be 9000 miles away.
