late to the compliment party BUT I AM HERE AND I HAVE COOKIES. you are, without a doubt, a true gem. you are resilient AF, kind, and your smile always brightened my day at work. your dedication, work ethic, and pure love and excitement of things shines through in everything you do. you're doing stellar. don't forget the hardships make us who we are, and girl, you handle it with so much goddamn grace. your kindness and smile still radiates constantly. it is an honor to know you.
i love you and miss you friend!!!! work is not the same but i am so happy for you! :)
thank you for this super sweet note! this whole exercise is changing my mind about myself in a lot of ways. :) i have felt such a loss of identity over the last few years, but if this is who i am now it sounds pretty nice! and if i am all of these things i’m apparently presenting to the world in spite of the things about myself i struggle to live with, maybe those “imperfections” don’t really matter as much as i think they do. hmmmm!! deep thoughts on tumblr dot com.
also: COOKIES!!! (i got my 4-year anniversary cookies from hr last week!! we don’t do birthday cookies anymore but we now get a cookie for every year we’ve worked there!)
