Support

With my recent decision to move back to the south- I had to put in my 2 week notice last Tuesday. After a few days, word spread pretty fast around the office that I will be migrating.
I have been blown away by the support everyone has given me. There is a small group of people that have really given me support and great advice. All of them have encouraged me to do what makes me happy and to follow my dreams.

Now, I really do understand the concept of a 'work family.' Although I have made a good group of outside friends my own age while living here- and will miss all of them every day- I will miss my work family possibly more. These people know more about me than a lot of my friends. They give unbiased advice because they do not know all the characters in my play of life and don't take sides. They all listen and really hear me- and since most of them have a few years on me can give me tips from what they have learned and guide me into different though processes.
I also like them because they laugh at my jokes (even if they are laughing at me and not with me). I enjoy making people laugh, always have- and they are the perfect audience. They all listen to my insane stories from my weekend adventures, boy adventures (good and bad- but recently all good.... amazing actually), family drama, friend drama and how I feel like work gets in the way of having a social life. They have seen me transform and sift through the difficulties of graduating and coping.

I know for a fact most of my work family reads my blog- and I want to give yall a personal shout out and thanks for being there for me the past 6 months. This is my promise to stay in touch with you all and when I become a huge sensation doing whatever that makes me a sensation- I will give yall credit.

So lesson learned from the past 6 months:
Since you usually spend more time at work than you do at home- having a work family is important for your sanity.

Peace, Love and nothing can replace my first work family, but excited for my next ones,
B
