Okay, so I’ve been back from LA for a year in November, now that I'm back in Oly. I'm working as a Realtor for John L. Scott Tacoma North. So far I really love my new job. Getting started in real estate is hard but I hope that the relationships that I've created over the years will bring me some referral business. I'd like to keep myself so busy that I don't have time to dwell on any of the negative things that have plagued my life the past year or so. I guess you could call it a life makeover... I've recently had to cut people that I love out of my life because they weren't contributing anything positive to our relationship. These were people that I honestly never thought I'd loose. Making the decision to walk away was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I've learned so much about life, love and relationships in the past couple years. Now I’m concentrating on getting my real estate career started while holding down a full time job with the State and attending college for the first time. I’m also learning to invest my time and love in people who invest in themselves, not in a selfish way. I mean people who truly value themselves and their relationships with family and friends. In my opinion, if you don't have good family or friends by your side your life is empty and I don't want that for my future. It’s never too late to break the cycle of depression, and overall dysfunction but again you're the only one that can make that choice. I guess that's the most valuable lesson I've learned lately. The problem is that I'm the type of person that has always cared so much about other people and their problems that I let it get in the way of my well being and happiness. I worry way too much about things that are beyond my control; I know this is one of my biggest flaws. I've been told too many times that I wear my heart on my sleeve and people take advantage of me because of it. I don't want to believe that the world works that way but I guess in light of recent events I've come to my senses. I'm working on being less emotional and not taking things so personally. Letting go is hard to do, but I'm hoping that as time goes by it'll get easier... I want to look back in twenty years and have no regrets. I don't want to feel guilty for the mistakes that I've made, I want to move forward and be a better person because of them. I feel like I've made my peace with God and at the end of the day that's all that truly matters. It took me a long time to even get to this point so I don't plan on looking back. I'm a lot more selective of who I let in now and I can only hope it'll all pay off and I'll finally have the life I've always dreamed of with a husband who loves me for me, a family that isn't broken, and friends that know and value what it truly means to be a "friend". Dreams do come true, right? I'm gonna pray for the best and see what happens...MySpace Layouts MySpace Layouts MySpace Codes MySpace Backgrounds
