I have always been a hard worker for my employer, and have given them 100% relative to what I could at the time. Yesterday I was laid off.

This is a good thing, actually... As I was wanting to quit due to being quite unhappy, I was doing what I could to make myself expendable so that this could occur (i.e. by making sure people were cross-trained in the things I do, slowly allowing responsibilities to be taken away from me, etc.) I couldn't quit when they needed me... That's just not who I am.

I can already feel the stress leaving my body. Now is the time to rejuvinate myself, relax, and look to the future. Today I turn 32, and I am ready to move on. I will hold in my heart what I truly desire for myself, instead of worrying solely of the well-being of others to the point that I put my own well-being on the backburner. I will look after myself, I will better myself, and with my own happiness that comes I will share this with others: family, friends, and strangers alike.

Thank you all. You are all wonderful people. If I could live a hundred lifetimes and be best friends to each and every one of you I would do it. As it is now, I will see where life takes me.

Much Love,
