Decisions & Goals

After a long 2-3 hour phone call with my parents, they told me to quit my job. They're really worried that I might go crazy, but I'm not going to quit because I have some personal goals to achieve. Money is no longer something I'm worrying about, but my self confidence and ability to handle rough situations like these. I have this feeling that if I run away now, I will never be able to overcome my fears and insecurities with working in general. If I can overcome this, I can overcome anything. So, despite the loving and supportive, "Please quit your job and come home, we're really worried about you," I'm going to stay at least for a limited duration of time until I feel ready to leave. It's really nice to hear my parents say that it's ok not to get that license and not to continue with this job, especially if the bosses treat their staff so badly. I just need to figure out how to make myself stronger and be able to withstand something like this so that in the future, even if something like this happens again, I'll be able to handle it. All these tears I've cried, and all this torment I've experienced will make me stronger, at least I hope it will. I've set a calendar date for when I'll walk, so now I'm just counting down the days. I'm going to survive this, and then I'll go home. I can do this, I've already made it this far, I should be able to continue doing this until my time is up. *deep breath* Yeah, I'll survive this.
