The Germans bought the company, they came and they fired everyone ...
I actually half expected they would announce I do not have a job anymore this morning but I was taken aback (like everybody else) to hear that the other 120 people working on the site were fired as well. Although I have only worked there a couple of years, it is hard not to feel heart-broken at the thought of how the long history of what started as a small family company is going to end.
At the same time, if I'm honnest with myself, I have to recognize that things are pretty much going according to the plans. When I made the decision to move away from Singapore, it was with the idea of finding a job which would leave me more time for music. Maybe even the possibility to work part time. So, in a sense I should be satisfied with the situation: here I am, with a few months ahead of me to focus on making more music.
I always believed that things happen for a reason. Last time I found myself in a similar situation was more than 10 years ago. And I always thought that I did not quite make the most out of it. So maybe this is another chance to chase up my dreams of living for and from music. Maybe this is actually the last chance and I should not blow it away this time.
It is hard not to feel scared like shit but at the same time, this is just what freedom may taste like.
What do you think ?
Should I take the jump ?
