Four little letters
It's amazing how four letters changed me. My whole life I thought something was wrong with me; that I was some sort of an alien stranded here on Earth and that I wouldn't fit in anywhere. And then. INFJ.
Thank you, Myers-Briggs.
I'm just different and don't think/feel/process things the same as most other people in the world. Everything is taken with a grain of salt, but just learning more about this personality type has really helped me come into my own and accept myself instead of being tormented over why I'm not like everyone else. And I've even been lucky enough to stumble across a few INFJs since the discovery - it would seem the PNW suits us, I guess.
It's been three years since I was typed and I'm just seriously grateful. My life is much better now.
Bryant and I are still living together and this is the best relationship I've ever had with any human being - platonic or otherwise. We just fit. I don't get tired of his company. He tolerates my moodiness and enjoys the happy days. I help ground him and make him a bit more responsible. We take care of one another. We both don't want kids but have three fur babies. We're still planning on buying a house and getting married. It's nearly perfect.
I finally quit TERRA after 4.5 years. It became stressful and toxic to the point where I was sobbing in the parking lot every lunch break. Bry insisted I quit. I jumped ship immediately to another job that just... wasn't an awesome fit. I tried finding other administrative work. But honestly I was just fed up with working MORE for the same amount of money. I was sick of working just to work. So I quit that job too, and after a month of unemployment I've started back up at Starbucks. At first it felt like a step back, but it's not like we're hurting for money so who cares? And I'll tell you what - it feels amazing to EARN a day of nothingness. To not sit at a computer all day.
PLUS!! ...They now offer a program with full tuition reimbursement for your first college degree. SO. No more excuses. This girl is going to college. As soon as I've hit the required hours worked for eligibility. I'm thinking I will probably go for a bachelor's in education and see where that takes me. Could be teaching, could be something entirely different. We'll find out!
My sister had a baby in September, so I'm now Auntie Stevie. I still think she probably should NOT have had a child, but little Coralie is such a sweet and good baby. Shelby is making a solid effort to be a good mom, too.
We're all old now and it's strange. But good.
