Today’s epiphany

I’ve been carrying into my current job a lot of emotional baggage that I picked up along the way from previous jobs -- previous jobs that made me feel totally taken advantage of and imposed upon.. It’s analogous to starting a new relationship with emotional baggage -- kind of like mistreating my current boyfriend, acting out in delayed reaction to hurts inflicted by previous boyfriends. This job is actually being really good to me – giving me opportunities to explore, grow, supportive environment, etc. Time for me to treat it well in return and stop taking advantage of it and resenting it for something it didn’t do.
