I'...You guys quit ripping on my favorite family. I'm betting that those people rationalize away their indifference by thinking it was your job to be there for them, that way they don't have to deal with gratitude. Which is why I think you're in a much better spot now to help people as a peer. Which, all ceremony aside, is really getting to the bottom of it. And next time you help someone, I suggest you say "yes, it was an incredible pain in the ass, but I did it anyway."MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03543269000083131799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283131.post-35080596517125665532014-01-12T09:03:20.320-05:002014-01-12T09:03:20.320-05:00I have to whole-heartidly agree with you. You are ...I have to whole-heartidly agree with you. You are not a failure, I'm not, no one is. But from my point of view, nothing I did, and the impact I tried to have didn't matter at all. I tried to be pretty intentional. I asked myself often, if I left would it matter? Would it make a difference? I would have thought so based on the comversations I had and the support and encouragement I recieved, especially while you were on sabatical but apparently I missed something. The lack of my presence there has not seemed to have affected anyone and no one seems to care that I'm gone. I'm not trying to be concieted - just pointing out that apparently nothing I did mattered (fail). And from what I have seen since then, they are a<br />ll much happier in my absence. This has kind of been a pretty obvious theme in my life lately. Its tough to feel like youve pretty much failed at everything without feeling like a failure. Its a tough realization to have at the beginning of the year. So for me, this is going to be a year of figuring out whats not working. What Im doing wrong. And what do I need <br />to do to fix it. Anyway, theres that. I wrote this on the Nook and it's all messed up.carrienoreply@blogger.com
