Home Sweet Not!
Well, after a stint in Miami, I'm back in the Orlando area. This happened in May, but I really hadn't got around to posting it here.
The reasons are complex. I had an Orlando opportunity, but things were also not going well in Miami - some of which was my fault. I didn't see any point in prolonging things. One of my friends probably thinks I did it because I was out of place in Miami. That is partially true, although on the other side, from a personal standpoint that person didn't make it easier. I blame an incident in March - after that night, things changed dramatically. I will say that I bear my share of the responsibility for things going as they did, but the difference is that I will make those things right, while the other person felt they did nothing to make the situation as it was.
For a long while after I moved back, I felt the social situation was one that was a personal failing, but I've moved on from that idea. Once here, I took my license exam for a new position, and have since begun work for an up and coming brokerage firm. I *love* my job now, and there's a lot of room for growth.
I recently (as of my birthday in August) moved into a new 1200 sq foot apartment here (which I don't have nearly enough furniture to fill), I've met an absolutely fantastic young woman who I'm getting to know better, and I feel pretty good about life right now. Everything isn't perfect yet, but I'm moving in the right direction.
Miami is a chapter that's passed - I learned a lot about true friendship, the trials and tribulations of moving to a new city, and the kind of person I want to be. Here's hoping the career and social life bonuses keep going.
