Today feels like a reset.
I was laid off four months after starting my career as a software engineer. The explanation was organizational restructuring and changes in direction. It wasn’t about performance. My role simply wasn’t needed anymore.
Right now, I don’t feel much. No strong emotions, no panic. Just a calm acceptance that things didn’t go the way I expected.
Before joining the company, I was doing well academically and felt confident in my software development skills. I joined with hopes of steady growth, learning, and building a stable career. I also had expectations around progress and financial improvement. When everything ended suddenly, all of that disappeared at once.
Instead of dwelling on what could have been different, I decided to focus on what comes next.
I’m starting this blog mainly for myself. Revisiting concepts and building new things genuinely excites me, and writing helps me slow down and think clearly. This won’t be a place for polished success stories or motivation. It’s simply a space to document learning, small progress, confusion, and whatever the day brings.
I plan to write short daily updates. Some days I’ll write, some days I probably won’t. That’s usually how it goes. Still, I want to try not to prove anything, but to stay connected to the process.
This is not a grand restart.
Just a quiet beginning.
Thanks for reading.
