I Escaped! With Nary a Wound….
Well, for the most part anyways.
If you consider escaping with my dignity and my pride in tact, then I think I did good. After months and months of torment, harassment and various other forms of negativeness, I am finally moving on.
On my terms.
That’s what it’s all about folks.
Bearing down, gritting your teeth, taking what you must, and with a grain of salt. Each day is but a mere blink of an eye in this life. Sometimes you just have to tell yourself over and over again “Smile and wave boys, smile and wave” in order to make it through. When it’s all said and done, keeping your head will pan out in the end for the better of all.
I walked out the doors and drove the long drive home for the last time. I am starting a new chapter in my life and closing the door on this past year forever. I can’t say that I am walking away with very many positive experiences, however, I can say that I am hoping the negative ones will pan out and become positive ones within my future position. I see the negative as what I don’t want to become, a learning experience of what I don’t want to do, leading me into a more positive roll for myself and my new co-workers. I think I have seen and been through every single negative thing that one could possibly imagine seeing or going through within a company. It is going to make me a million times more appreciative of my new place of work as well.
I see a brighter year ahead for myself and I couldn’t be more excited, open and ready for it either.
It has been a humbling year. One that has torn me down to the bare bones, exposing all of my flaws, weaknesses, injuries, shames and sorrows and throwing them all in my face over and over again. I have been punished on many levels and was made raw in the process.
Now it’s time to come out, come back, stronger and better than ever and this is just the beginning.
I say goodbye to all that has hurt me.
Goodbye to all that threatened to take away my dignity, my pride.
Goodbye to those who did nothing more than try to keep me down day after day.
Hello new chapter.
Monday starts my new job, my new life, my new me.
I don’t think I have ever looked forward to a Monday with so much excitement and hope before! There is truly a first for everything!
Yay for new beginnings..hopeful beginnings! Keep strong, lovey. The best is yet to come! ox
