New phase

I had a fantastic break. Took one full month break with my little one. We travelled far and wide within the state. It was not like I waited for the break to happen, or that I enjoyed the break thoroughly. In the back of my mind, I had this annoying feeling, that I don't have a job now, but then what can I do now? I have survived tougher situations, I am going to survive this one.
Once the news broke, and the exit formalities were done, I was overcome with emotions, negative emotions. 'What am I gonna do?' 'How could this happen to me?' 'I am already fighting for my child and a sane life. How am I gonna cope up?' 'It has been 9 years since I looked into the job market. What if I am too rusty?'
Anxiety was getting better of me. I had to curb it. So, I decided to backpack for a month. I don't know if I was really roaming around or just running away from action, from facing the reality.
One month passed and now I am here, trying to get back into my profession. I started floating my resume around. And on Thursday I got my first telephonic interview. Surprise! I cleared for face to face. And yesterday, while waiting to watch a movie, I got the second call, and cleared the second company too. I have a face to face with the second company scheduled for Wednesday.
The fear of failure is catching up now. I don't know how am I going to manage the come back. All I know is, I am going to learn a few interview questions and go for it.
If it's mine, I will get it. If not, it was never mine.

Wish me luck !
