So I have been doing a lot of thinking lately, and I wonder how hard we should judge ourselves. Recently, I've been analyzing my big move to the east. Career-wise I think it was a great idea for me to get some new and different experiences on my resume. Socially, and mentally, I'm not so sure it was good for me.
The end of October, beginning of November, I spent 3 weeks back "home" in Phoenix. Prior to leaving Phoenix, I was thinking that I wasn't where I wanted to be. (and in some ways I wasn't) I definitely realize now that I had a great support system there. I had a great group of friends that would let me vent when I needed, they made sure that I was never too serious, but always understood that my job required a certain level of seriousness, and respected that. I guess hind sight is always 20/20.
In the DC area, I've had the HARDEST time acclimating. I like to think that I've tried to stay positive, but I don't think I really have, and I think that has been noticible to others. That has probably played a huge part in why I have not made many friends here. Even the friends that I thought I've had, really have not acted like it at all.
So now, I am left wondering, have I made the right choices by leaving my home? Or, was this all a lesson for me to learn what great things I had back home?
