Love yourself

Hello All Otaku!
It's been over 5 years since I last logged on. Wow, I am amazed at how long I've had this profile for and being that it's actually STILL Active! LOL. I am amazed! I've journeyed down many paths since I've been off and on this site. I will admit I am still naive and don't fully understand this world yet. I've been through many hardships and still don't know where I am yet. Where will this journey take me on? I will never know - all I can do is follow the road that is in front of me. But one thing is for sure, that I will always have myOtaku to come back to. Always! In all my years I've only lasted 5 years with anything that has crossed my path. Let me explain to you what those are and what it means...
I made a flag football team back in high school which I completely dedicated 5 years of effortless practices and hardships. I gained knowledge and leadership skills and chemistry with the best people in my life - that are still part of my life now. Within 5 years, I ended that team and I've never gone back as much as I said I would. I never did - because I knew in my heart that I put enough effort and time into something that was not going to go anywhere in my career or life. It was a phase in my lifetime that I would never forget or regret. It was the greatest 5 years of my life.
When I was 16, legal age to officially work in US, I started my first high school job as a Dairy Queen customer service and maker. (During this time, I also was playing football) It honestly was the best job I've ever had, not because of the career path, but because I made friends with some of the best people ever there whom I am still friends with today. I managed to stay at the lowly paying place until up when I turned 21. Yes, 5 years had gone by and I realized I was no longer a child or a high school student who needed a REAL job. Support and stability is what I needed. I left Dairy Queen and proceeded to move onto a temp agency where I found my first official office job. Which gave my benefits and all - something I could actually rely on and a full time opportunity to make real money.
At this time I absolutely was astounded to be an adult! I was so happy there. It was a REAL job with benefits! I couldn't have been happier - during the first three years of working there I was a regular agent and I made great co-worker friends who I still keep in touch with. However, being in this industry had changed my life forever.
I was promoted to being a lead from agent. Yes, I had the responsibilities to help train, coach and teach new coming employees to do what I used to do. It wasn't that bad at first - but the cold reality fact is that you are not looked at the same anymore from your used to be peers. Everything changed. It was for the better I guess. That's what growing up did - that's what taking that leap of faith did. All in honesty, I knew taking the lead role position would put me in a position where I had to be "different" from everyone else. I don't regret it on bit. However, being a lead had opened my eyes to the world of business, managing, and micro management. All of a sudden a year had passed and I realized it was not in my best interest anymore. I realized that I was no longer in my comfort zone and I wasn't strong enough to continue. I did not want to be a lead and I did not want to be in a position to micro manage adults. So, as you guessed - I left that job within 5 years. I left my position and continued to my new career as a Sales Executive. Same things are happening - and this is my present. I don't know what the future holds for me, but like I said I will follow the road that is in front of me. I cannot alter my fate, however I can rise to meet it if I choose.
It's only been a year - I want to see how much further it will be.

I thank you for your time, and I hope the future is bright for all of us!

Updates in the future. Thank you,

Pajhlis
