You ever cry because you realize that you're good at your job?

I know it sounds ridiculous, but it’s emotionally moving when you realize you’ve accomplished all the things you said you would. Right now, I’m sitting on the sundeck of my luxury apartment building in NYC after holding my own in calls with people 15 years older than me. I’ve always been told that I’m good at my job, but as an anti-words-of-affirmation girlie, it’s taken a long time for me to start believing it. Today I believed it. I am living a life that I always wanted to live, and it makes me beyond proud of myself. Will asked me earlier this week if I ever feel proud of myself if I’m always keeping my eyes on the next step, and I truly believe that I didn’t until this moment.
