I am
exactly where I need to be right now.
Okay,
I’m struggling because I’m having trouble finding my footing, but I am proud of
how far I have come. Not just from last year when I graduated, or nine months
ago when I was diagnosed or anything like that. I’m proud of how far I have come as a person, as a whole.
I
think that it is hard to measure where we come from. We track ourselves in weight
,in paychecks, number of friends, sizes of houses. We forget that moving
forward isn’t always the only option. Moving
up is not always the right choice. Sometimes we need to move back. Left.
Maybe right.
My
boyfriend and I have moved out of living in my folks basement to living in an
apartment. We are poorer than ever, but we have come so far from hiding in the
safety and refuge of my family’s home.
I
started my job as a scooper and worked my way up to management. (It only took
five years, but hey, who’s counting?) I have a lot of accomplishments and I shouldn’t let other people bring me down
because they don’t believe that I measure up to their standards.
I set
my own standards, bitch.
Challenge
to my Readers:
We are
happy, healthy and loved. That is what really matters. Count your years in
number of opportunities seized, not in number missed.
