Interviewed, Still Waiting
I keep replaying the end of that interview in my head. I smiled, shook hands, said all the right things. Then I walked out and realized I had no idea what happens next. I should have asked, but my mind was already scrambled from trying to sound like the person they wanted.
So now I’m stuck refreshing my inbox, rereading the same polite thank-you email, wondering if I’m supposed to follow up or just wait in silence. Every day that passes, I feel a little more invisible. I want to ask, but I’m afraid of being annoying—like I’m one email away from ruining my chances.
It’s exhausting, pretending to be eager but not desperate. I wish I could just say, "Please, just tell me if I should keep hoping or move on." But instead, I’m stuck in this limbo, measuring my worth by how long it takes for someone to reply.
