scared, but I know its the right thing
I have worked the same job with the same people for over two years. I have become so comfortable there. Really, it the first time I have ever felt at home at a job. Its somewhere that I belong. Really, for the first time in my whole life, I have felt a real sence of belonging. And where a very real part of me wants to leave and find something better for my life, a part of me is scared to death to do so. I lvoe the people I work with, and i am scared that I will never find something like that again. Plus, when you waste years of your life working at a job like that, you start to feel like its the only thing you would ever be good at. I will miss the Dollar store a lot.
Plus, i also feel horrible for leaving my sister in the middle of her pregnancy. At a time when she would need me the most. I am just leaving. She cant even walk, and I wont be here to help out with the kids. it sucks, I want to be in both places.
On top of that, despite the fact that I am only leaving briefly, I know that when I come home, there will be people who will be gone, that I will miss so much. Rob is taking Ellen away, Jen is going to School, Tina and Trevor are leaving, and it seems to me I am forgetting someone else who is leaving. So basically, I will be really lonely when i come home.
And that is why it is so hard for me to leave. And that is why I sat at the kitchen table this morning with a bowl of peas and just started to the crying. Ellen must have thought I was crazy.
But despite the fear and anxiety I am feeling right now, I know that I made the right descision by leaving the Dollarama, because it has all but killed my potential as a person. I have become stuck there, and it was either get out of there now, or rot there and grow old and bitter full of regrets about the life I never lived. So that is why I decided to leave.
I assume that you really didnt care to hear all that, but it was just on my mind this morning, so that is why I had to blog about it.
