Goodbye 2022

Hey!

I feel like I have done so many things since I last wrote a blog post. Sometime in the spring of 2022 I decided to do phlebotomy school and get a career and 2022 became my career year. I spent the summer getting my blood drawn every week and then drawing blood as well. It’s safe to say I have developed a bit of a phobia to needles.

I met some really awesome ladies there in phlebotomy school and I wouldn’t have wanted to do it with anyone but them. It was hard and fast paced and definitely tested me in ways I was hoping and not expecting. I really wanted to prove I was academically smart which I did. So there’s that. I also wanted medical knowledge like my brother and sister. Which I achieved.

If you have seen me since I finished phlebotomy school you know I do nothing close to phlebotomy. After phlebotomy school I went and became a registered behavior technician. I work with autistic children and I honestly love it so much. I’m not a phlebotomist for a few reasons but I feel as if I am where I am suppose to be.

I traveled a lot late August into October because I wasn’t working besides babysitting. It filled me to be able to go places with no commitment back home. If you can ever afford it do it. I would have some panic moments where I was like I don’t even have a real job what am I doing, but it was a needed time. I got to visit my sister in Montana and it was so beautiful there. It was slower paced and I felt like I got time to breathe while I was there.

I turned 22 and then I spent a few weeks in Mesa, Arizona with my dad before we went to Portland, Oregon where I spent 10 days in my favorite place to date. It always refreshes my soul and I feel like I come back to life there.

I then went on to see Harry Styles twice in LA and I regret nothing. He is the best. Never a bad time.

Had some quiet holidays, started working as an RBT in December and then it was the new year. The thing I’m most proud of for my 2022 was that I wanted to find a job I liked or loved that I could support myself on. I did that, maybe with a false start, but I got there by the end. I feel like life is kinda like that anyway. I just had to ride it out and put my trust where I like it and believe that I could do anything I put my mind to.

2022 was a hard but rewarding year in ways I did not expect. There were definitely moments where I was like “Rebecca what the actual fuck are you doing right now.” but I would just push through. I think that was a big thing for me in 2022 was finishing things to the end. I’m more of a if you’re not feeling it don’t do it kinda person. It’s just that that leaves me with a lot of what if’s and I’m sick of those to be honest. So commitment and following through was a big deal last year and something I’m carrying through to the new year.

I feel the most excited about a new year than I have in a while because there is a lot of things I intend to do in 2023, my year of intention.

Goodbye 2022!
