Making good use of that work time...

Sep 11, 2007 11:03

I'm starting to realize that making the decision to come to Hawaii might have been one of the best I've made in a really long time. I'm happy here, happier than I've been in Illinois for quite awhile and it's affecting other aspects of my life. I'm a better friend to those people I love back home...I can feel it...more supportive, less negative. It's a change for the better. And I feel good about myself, which never hurts. I have confidence in my ability at work and in my ability to make my own decisions. I don't know...it's hard to explain. I think I just needed to be knocked out of my comfort zone for awhile and really be on my own. I know now that I can do it...because, while Miranda is here, we aren't attached at the hip by any means. And of course I miss everyone back home like crazy, but I feel like this is letting me be a better friend to Christine then I ever was at home. I'm so confident that I won't destroy this friendship like I have through so many others. I'm genuinely happy she has Susan there to have fun with and I know when we're reunited it'll be better than it was before.

The point is: Hawaii was very good for Erica and her psyche. She's very happy and intends to stay this way. :)
