Notes to Self

Embarking on a new journey! Yes, it is the sweet smell of looking forward without letting anything get in my way. It has been a very frustrating year, with madly racing around to try and get a good job. The stress has been too much at times, but with each moment of strain, comes the ability to put up with more:)

In finding a job recently, it feels as though I am able to achieve, yet there are many emotions which hold me back. I know that 10 years ago I would not be thinking the way I do today, where the stress residing around the corner causes me anxiety at every turn. I was free back then, and without a worry in the world. It all seemed to be there for me, but not something I already had. My friends, teachers, principals, all thought I was going to make big things happen. But, as I sit here wondering where it all went wrong, I know that it rests within my confidence. My abilities to engage people is still there, but I am very shy in many situations.
