8 years ago today - Issaquah

[angelak]

In other news:

8 years ago today was my very first day here at Issaquah. As an intern. I don't even think I'd quit Target quite yet. It is a strange thing, to be sure. I am pretty different than I was in those times - naturally. I was 17 years old. Just, wow.

Yes, I realize that is young to land this kind of position. Up until recently, I feel like I've had a pretty good jump on stuff and growing up a little young. That's true. And then about 3-4 years ago, things slowed down. Maybe it's just I'm experiencing what everyone else had to go through earlier; waiting a little longer for things to fall into place. A lot of stuff needs to fall in to place one of these days :P

I am definitely hitting a place in my life where forcing the next step is not going to work. That is - I've been working hard at forcing stuff and it doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere. I recognize that letting things flow is going to be where it's at. That doesn't mean I'm not putting all my efforts forward, it just means loosening up on what I think should happen.

I have a distinct memory from back in the day... You had stopped by my (mom's) house, and we were standing outside on the side of the road talking, and you were telling me about this internship in Issaquah. I remember thinking it sounded like a cool opportunity, and you were excited because you wanted to be done with Target.

Anyway, random nostalgia moment.

For sure

I was pretty done with Target. Rofl. The opportunity was... definitely fateful. I am glad I came here.
