What I learned this week, jun 29

What I learned this week, 29 jun 08

The circles are closing

 

So this week was fun starting since last Saturday, when my sis and I went to the Harold Lloyd film festival (silent movies, but I’ll go into that in a different journal) and on Sunday I went to see my teenage crushes with my cousin (kitten was never into them… her loss) so this just left my heart and mind feeling good. It’s like my head cleared up and I can finally get to what needs to be done, take care of my pending commitments so when the time to move on from this job comes I won’t have any regrets.

 

It doesn’t matter what everyone says when I leave, just what I think and how I feel when this chapter closes, and most of all, what I learn from it.

 

I know now that I need a bigger change than just the company, and everything is pointing toward a career change, so that’s really exciting.

 

My therapist recommended I start investigating what I will need (like a certification or something) so I’m prepared when it happens.

 

This is exciting and scary ‘cause I really feel like I’m going back to my roots, my genuine self.

 

We all have to make this trip and find out who we really are, some change completely and find their true selves, others we change and in that change find a balance between the old and the new.

 

It’s a scary often painful trip, but the truth is if you make it with conviction and try to stay open… it’s worth it.

Sounds like you had a fun weekend.

I find the most painful thing is facing up to the roots of my unhappiness. I also find it healing, but maybe I'm just need that kind of emotional pain to feel alive.

Your therapy sounds like it's working well.

Thank for commenting, and I have to confess it's the second time I go into therapy. At first I really thought I just had this one problem that was getting into dead end, non-commitment relationships, so as soon as I was able to dump the guy I thought "well, that's that, problem over."
Few years later, cut to present time and I just found myself in this highly stressful job and just realized my need to please people and forget about myself, so there I went again.
I guess I was a little less aprehensive about it and in all honesty finding buzznet and getting my courage up to writing the weekly journal just let me see I am not alone.
I see other people's journals, the comments they get and the comments I get on mine and that just makes me push myself into writing and even dare to put my dreams out there.
So I guess what I'm saying also is thank you for encouraging me :)
