I have had a good drive from Henderson to Barstow. Lost $20 in Primm but had fun. Coming into California I was sad at first. I realized I would no longer identify as Californian. Then memories of visiting before moving here nine years ago came back. I realized I could reclaim the energy. I could be a tourist. Still enjoy California without staying.
I feel a sense of relief at them momentZ back to the being paroled concept. I have finished my time here. I have enjoyed it. But the professional aspect has left me wanting.
When I was walking into the store I thought I saw the WIL. It wasn’t her but I wondered what I would do or say if I did run into her. My lack of professional pride has hurt my confidence. More than California, more than relationships I need to find my pride again
