I sometimes get the feeling I could do things I'd like to do, but I don't because there's someone who thinks I can't and if I try and fail they'll be right.
When you're used to being surrounded by people who make you feel like that, it can make you so incredibly happy when people actually trust in your abilities and rely on you to step up and live up to the expectations.
Sometimes people just believe in you, not because of your accomplishments or experiences, but just based on your passion and the impression you make on them.
And that's how I got my dream job.
I'm going to be running a small café in central Stockholm, which opens in two weeks.
I already spent the day there today, having gotten a key yesterday, and the owner laughed when I told him. He's a great guy, he met with me once and the same evening he decided that I would be a better pick than the other girls he interviewed, many of which were both much older and much more experienced than me, because of how badly I wanted to work there and how much I love his ideas about the café.
I know I'm going to do great, and I'm actually eager about how much I will have to do in the next few weeks and months, I'm just so happy that someone else realised that there's more to me than lack of experience. That someone saw my potential.
It seems a bit silly, but it's actually huge for me. Surprisingly, it doesn't happen too often. Come to think of it, I hardly ever feel that anyone respects my integrity the way that my new co-workers do. I'm just so grateful, it's all really worked out great for me so far.
