Adjustment

[talyen]

I'm adjusting to ... everything.

I'm finding that I can move away from everything and everyone that I love, and still "make it."

I am making friends. I am redefining from what I thought "friends" meant to what friends really means. I have those people, and I will continue to add to that pile, because I am a worthwhile person, even though I make mistakes sometimes.

I can find my way around. I can go outside my comfort zone and try new things and still find my way home. Sometime, I might even do something I really dislike, like go to the ballet by myself.

I have accomplished several of my goals and can set new ones. I have a place and people with whom I can talk about my goals and my self and redefine these things.

And that all means to me that, having moved down here with hope and dreams, and had everything fall apart, I can do fine, even well, wherever I am and with whatever I need to do. I can go somewhere else, if I want to do that.

Someplace where there isn't any winter at all, and it's sunny most the time, and I'd have a really nice boss at work, and I could do work I love. (:

Adjusting is hard, glad to hear you feel like you're making it.

Thanks! At least it's getting better. I guess it just takes a looong while in a new place. Or I'm a really slow learner.
