Dear successor,
By no mean am I writing this to discourage you from finishing transition. In fact, I just wanna help you set your expectations realistically. I just learned in the last 2 weeks that some days, even the people you can always count on will let you down. Shit happens. Nobody's perfect which means that even your unconditional supporters will have moments where they don't support you. You'll eventually feel lonely in your position. Shit happens. But at the same time, you will feel a special connection with the members of your team that will make it worth it. Your VP Comm might end up, 5 months into our term, writing you a very sweet sugar cube at NLDC. Sometimes, it'll take time. Lots of days. But what matters is that it'll happen.
When you're feeling down, you can do like I did.
- Zero, call me.
- First, reach other actual LCPs and share your pain lol. They WILL understand and make you feel normal.
- Second, reach your best AIESEC friends (hopefully they're not part of the problem. If they are, which will happen, go straight to friends from other LCs or previous years).
- Third, talk to your coach on the MC. Vitor is good for that. PEC and Jay can really help too.
- Forth, fall asleep with a zebra stuffed animal and swollen eyes.
The next morning, you WILL feel better.
Bisous
