I’ll be turning 26 soon, which has led me to reflect on what I’ve learned this year. Here are some of the lessons that stand out to me, in no particular order:
-Miracles do happen. My husband’s green card was a miracle.
-Pain fades over time. So does anger.
-People die. Make sure you’ve said everything you need to.
-Take a risk. Share with people something personal you’ve written.
-If someone you know can treat certain people in their life well (their client, a friend) – they can treat you well. They are just choosing not to.
-The later you stay at work, the more stupid mistakes you will make.
-Counseling only works over the long haul. Go back again next week.
-There is still no crying at work.
-Sometimes the most powerful thing anyone can say to you is, ‘That was not your fault.’ Be that person for someone else.
-There are values more important than honesty, like loyalty.
