Let Go

Alison

Have you ever been completely cut out of someones life with zero explanation? I’m racking my brain to figure out what went wrong with a contracting job I had. No joke, in the morning everything was fine, but by the evening all of my access was changed, I was given a final pay and told I’m no longer needed via email.

I emailed the owner and said thank you for the opportunity, if there is any feedback on my performance, I would appreciate it. No response.

All I can figure is I really upset the wrong person somehow. This is a weird feeling I’m experiencing - no closure, no explanation, I MUST have done something wrong. Except I know I didn’t. I know that every interaction, every task I completed was me giving my best and coming from a place of genuine care and concern.

So where does that leave me? There has been a misunderstanding. A breakdown in message received. Interpreted completely incorrectly. I suppose that happens a lot through email. Especially when you only ever interact with someone via email. No FaceTime, no zoom, no in person.

I figure when this feeling passes (which I don’t have time for in my life. This is situation is now a distraction, which in turn makes me feel mad, annoyed that I have to ‘deal’ with it) I will reach out again and try to find some closure, or at least say my peace.

Silver lining: if I still had this PT contract job, I know I would be overwhelmed with bigger things I care about right now. Right now I can focus and do a good job on another project that means so much more. The one that deserves my attention.

Thank you for putting the right people in my life at the right time.

And thank you for letting me get this out. 🥰
