How My Unconventional Career Path Led to a Rekindled Relationship.

You would not know it but much of my career has been spent in roles that felt meaningless. Despite working  for my dad, that role brought us closer, but it was not fulfilling. I was in that space because I wanted to support his dream, help grow his business, and make him happy. When people asked why I didn’t just take over his business—though I wasn’t technically the owner—I remember saying that it wasn’t my dream; it was his.

After leaving that chapter behind, I spent many years drifting, searching for a sense of purpose in my work. Even when I stayed in the construction industry for a while, I didn’t find it fulfilling. While the pay was good, the work was emotionally taxing and draining, leaving me feeling small and disconnected.

Despite feeling unfulfilled, I was able to transfer many of the skills I acquired during those years into my current work. One significant realization was that working for my dad wasn't just about the job itself but about rebuilding a relationship we hadn't maintained for many years. At the time, I couldn’t see the bigger picture, but looking back, I now understand how those experiences have influenced the direction of my career and my personal relationships.
