The Angels Up In The Clouds, Are Jealous Knowing We Found [Something I Love So Much As Water AI]

Today marks the end of my sick leave and the beginning of my annual leave. About 7 days of each in total if you count the bank holidays too. I should probably be more subtle. 

I don't do subtle. I desperately needed the break and I am so grateful to my performance coach for highlighting it to me. The past few days have been so essential to me not just to recovering from the probation. 

But also to healing some deeper trauma and more personal stuff that I have been carrying for a long long time. I cannot even tell you how much this break meant to me. And I have made massive progress with decluttering my room. There's still more to be done; the clothes and books are done and the notebooks are mostly done. But need to do everything else, tea boxes, jewellery, cleaning products, sentimental items, health stuff... and so much more. 

Cables. Teddy bears. It is unlikely that I will be able to get rid of any more teddy bears. Once it's all decluttered I need to tidy it up. But yeah the room is still such a mess. Luckily I have a few days when I get back from my holiday. Expect lots of cool new pictures from me. I feel like there's still a category I'm missing from decluttering - let's call it "random shit." Footstools. 

My heart broke a little bit over leaving work. I missed the job and the people. And I will miss it too while I am gone. 

But the above post has made me feel better. To realise how much I healed during my time off made it all worth it. Yesterday was my 1 year anniversary at Kraken.

Well, I guess that I survived!

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 ...

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…”

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…” Hey there. Still off work. Still tired. Lana del Rey released a new song. Thank God. My soul needed it so much.  I’m thinking a lot about everything. Thinking about where I went wrong. I just want to release. I want to release all the crap that is in my room. I’ve been trying to fully declutter since I was 21. I give away so much. I donate so much. But then I never quite finish. I never get to the click. And then I buy more. I don’t know what technique to use. There are so many techniques. The Marie Kondo method. I like to do kinaesthetic tests too. I like to pretend I’m packing up during the pandemic again and I have to make really quick decisions about what to keep and what to leave behind. That was no fun. But it was efficient. I just can’t release it. There’s so much stuff I can’t let go of. I don’t know how to. I don’t know how to. I suppose that’s a good metaphor for life. We accumulate stuff and we hold on to it....

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? ...
