Lessons I Never Knew a Job Could Teach

 I’ve really come a long way. I’ve truly been happy on my own for quite awhile. That being said, the crushes I have haven’t gone away. I’m always infatuated with someone new.

     D played me for sure. I don’t even feel anything anymore. But now I feel something for someone I hardly even know. And I’m having a hard time enjoying things for myself. What he might think of it is always in the back of my head. It’s very difficult. I suppose I truly am still codependent. I do need to work on my step four. I’ve been putting it off for a really long time. I’m dreading it. I’ll go back to a meeting when I finally have the courage to do it. But for now, I guess I’m going to miss a few.

     My job has really helped me in life. It’s amazing how much I’ve learned in such a short amount of time. It started off as a place I could come to to get away from Rob. 
     Then it turned into something that I needed to do for myself, so I could be successful for me. But the lessons this place have taught me are really something else…

     They are countless…

     – it’s ok to make mistakes, as long as you are still trying and you are learning from them
     – people will always try to better themselves, and if, as a consequence, you are hurt, it doesn’t necessarily mean it was intentional
     – even if people are your friend, know that what you tell them may get repeated. And it doesn’t mean that they are out to get you.
     – There are a lot of jealous people out there
     – Sometimes, the one the seems like your closest friend, is actually trying to take you down
     – You have to know when to walk away because you can’t do everything yourself
     – Sometimes people are more perceptive than you could ever imagine
     – There are some really amazing, outstanding, kind people out there

That’s all for now… But I still think there’s lots more for me to learn!
