conclusions/final thoughts
February wasn’t fun. I didn’t listen to my gut and that blew up for me.
At the same time, it’s become really clear that I always have one foot out the door. You grow up getting yelled at constantly and having your ideas poo-pooed all the time (or they don’t let you finish the work) and you end up just afraid that no one is happy with anything you do.
But if I can dig and put together classes that really teach you Japanese, then I can change the way I treat myself too. I’ll keep sharing my progress on this.
