Getting with the program

This temporary move away from my family has given me a sense of self-agency and independence. I am learning about nutrition. I am learning how to cook different things. I am learning how to bake. I am learning about insurance, and the work force. I am learning about how the brain works. I feel like my capacity to learn has just opened up. For example: I hated crossword puzzles. I always felt dumb when I did them. However, not only can I do them now but I'm good at it. I solved 4 puzzles in thirty minutes. I felt really intelligent. I got a temporary library card and I'm devouring books. I'm learning about the work force and job readiness. And I'm also learning to stop worrying and let God. I'm also learning how to tell the difference between "safe" and "unsafe" people if not at first glance than at least within the first conversation.
