I would like to align my life more with my love for the pylons

I sometimes don’t feel as strong as I do at other times but then I see a pylon and I remember my own strength again. Whenever I search for healing I just always seem to find or end up in another field of pylons or something. Whenever I search for meaning or try to find the answers to some questions I always just seem to end up with more pylons. I don’t know how to love something so much. I don’t know how to love something as much as I love wind farms and I love pylons. How could I love anything this much. What can I do with it? Write about it? Swear to work in renewable energy forever and ever? At least for as long as I am able to?

That’s what I did and then I lost my last job. I thought the renewable energy dream was gonna go or go on pause. I am still breathing in the miracle that it worked out with me for finding another renewable energy job. I am still breathing in the miracle that it worked out for me not only with renewable energy but with water as well. Because I remember being 15 and in the library in my sister’s magical university in Oxford. I remember walking around down there with a passion and an inspiration and a mystical breath in the air and I wanted to find my purpose in life. I looked at the literature books. I met people who were studying ancient Sanskrit. And I couldn’t find the books in there because there were no books on being a renewable energy software engineer. And water. Who works in AI and ML as well. Thank you. But that was okay because it was always on its way to me. Baby 15 year old Susanna I just wanna give you a big big warm hug. Because you have such great bright future lights ahead of you. I love you. Thank you. And thank you for everything you will do because you will do everything right. And I love you. I love you. I love you. Thank you. Keep on trying. Keep on searching.

You will find your way.

Because I love the pylons and I am so grateful for the renewable energy and the pylons and I will keep on writing about them every single day. Please. Thank you. And I LOVE THE WIND FARMS!!!!

Hello World

 Hello from Susanna Codes! Hi everyone,  My name is Susanna and I'm a 28-year-old aspiring software engineer from Brighton! As I type this, listening to music from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain" (it reminds me of home, in Luxembourg, where I am from - I'm missing home quite a lot lately!) and look forward to some Irish Cream tea in my afternoon break, I am thinking: How lucky I am that my amazing colleague Rosana helped me out with a plan for my software engineer journey (she directed me to the front-end first). How HTML and CSS would not have been my first languages of choice had I not been guided in this direction, as in my head they were seen as 'less-serious' langages. How done I am with what other people think of me and if other people see the 'front-end' as softer then so be it! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am so grateful to be on this journey, with Codecademy's Front-End Engineer Career Path.  Thank you to Async Brighton as

Yosemite

Yosemite I'll never forget the first time I head the song Yosemite by Lana del Rey. I very nearly clicked away.  It was quite near the start of my Software Engineering journey, right near when I start learning the Front-End/Web Development. I was listening to Arcadia by LDR before, maybe twice, and then Blue Banisters came on. I nearly clicked away in the first 30 seconds but I forced myself to keep listening anyway.  I'll never forget how that song has made me feel. It became my song of 2022 even though I only discovered it in November. I can still listen to it every day and get that complete sense of wonder and of awe that I felt the first time that I heard it. That ending of the song is completely amazing, and it just completely just blows me away every time. "Withstanding all the time, changes, and seasons..." - LDR Concise Body Arrow Functions Why am I so bad at arrow functions? Whyyyyyyyyyyy?  Just kidding, I am beginning to get them. But why are they so hard? &

Two Lines of Thought, Makes Me Wonder What I'm Missing

Two Lines of Thought, Makes Me Wonder What I'm Missing "Lines of Bamboo, See What You Do To Me..." Bamboo by Elder Island is one of my ultimate 'becoming a Software Engineer songs'. (I prefer the original, but here is a great live version. ) There's a story behind this. I met a man named Mark. He was an SWE approaching retirement - he was down in my hometown with his wife, visiting. I won't go into the context of how we met, but it was a miracle. It was a complete miracle. It was just meant to be. We chatted for at least two hours and at the end of the conversation he said to me "All the best of luck with your new career". I couldn't believe what he'd just said - I hadn't even committed to it yet! A few weeks later, I did, though. After I walked out of that cafe where I had been sitting and talking to Mark and his wife though, I felt like - even though I didn't "feel ready" yet - Mark had predicted something that I didn&
