Today I'm feeling very positive about what is to come in this chapter of my life!!! I think my post-graduate/holiday depression is starting to subside a bit, as I am beginning to see the light at the end of this tunnel.
My DBT group finally starts next Wednesday, and I am SO excited to meet some more aspie-folks such as myself. It's this intensive 6 month long group, but I'm so excited about all the positive opportunities that I know will come out of it. I've heard so many good things about it so far.
I just love the idea of meeting more like-minded individuals. It's unfortunately a challenge to meet like-minded people—especially aspies—in the real world. It makes sense, since aspergers often goes hand in hand with social anxiety/awkwardness—making meeting others like myself all the more challenging. It's like how two positive ends of a magnet—though alike—still repel away from one another due to their similarity.
ANOTHER THING is this job offer I have received. I've been trying to calm my intense manic feelings about it since Friday when I got the email. It's like an offer from the heavens—I didn't even know such a job existed. I'm going to provide more detail on it once I decide what I'm doing for certain, because otherwise I'll just give myself anxiety before the interview lol. But in summary—it's a personal assistant position for the CEO of a very well known alternative health company.
This particular organization has literally been a part of mine and my families' lives since before I was born, and I had no idea it was based out of Volusia! It's like everything I am all about—combined into this beautiful company. I can set my own hours, I don't have to talk to tons of people, and it's in the same job field as the one my Mom has been doing for years. More importantly, this will be the first job I've ever had that actually aligns with my personal morals and beliefs and college major and everything.
I think I'm just happy-venting about it because I am still rather manic and in disbelief that all this is happening—after such a boring time in my life where I felt rather lost and alone. I think all of the dark times have simply been preparing me for such a huge opportunity.
This gives me time, again, to find more joy in the little things. Like, I'm so excited to just get some good snacks and watch movies with Richard tonight. And this new happening has given me even more appreciation and respect for all he has helped me through, as my other half. Thinking about my future with him is exciting in itself. Everything is so exciting right now!
