Room for Improvement

I’m one of those people that rearranges their room every couple of months. Part of it is efficiency-so that stuff flows better in and out. But part of it is a kind of boredom or a need for reinvention.

Well I’ve been doing a reinvention of sorts on my character lately, and its starting to get painful. The shaking up of the people in my life since leaving Bakersfield & Chevron has given me opportunities to see myself handle new situations and relationships. I must say I am unimpressed with myself!

I feel like I’ve become more short and harsh with people in general, and I feel like it has already become a habit that will be very hard to break. It’s so frustrating to see your own shortcomings so clearly.

But I hope that I am on the upswing, and trust that love conquers all! I even got 2 reminder tattoos on my wrists to help me remember to love unconditionally and to be balanced.

I see that I can only become a better person through the revelations of my faults, but man, it is a hard pill to swallow.

I couldn’t have said it better myself! Leaving Bakersfield for me was illumination and bitter. When I leave Chevron eventually, I know that growth will be a natural outcome. We love you and we love watching your journey.

Greyn, I do plan to put up some pictures eventually. I want nice ones though! They will be under My Art – Body Art, once they are done. Hope you are well.
