in midnights, in cups of coffee

A year has come and gone since I've moved to Dubai.
February 28th was one year- I meant to post then. But I didn't, mostly because I didn't know what to say.
What a weird year. Best year of my life? Far from it. But it has been interesting. Trying. At times fun. And I certainly have grown a lot in many ways. Changed in a few ways that I'm not as happy about.
Still... I'm at a loss for words...
In some ways I'm a little bit sad that I have already wasted a year of my life living far from my family in a city that I hate.
However, I have had some success career-wise. I really like my job- and I think I'm pretty good at it. But is that enough? Doesn't seem like it.
Ha ha ha. I need to quit being such a whiner! Really.
One more year. I can do it! Then where? Any suggestions?

not a dumb question ang. Maybe a dumb answer.
I think what it comes down to is not wanting to admit defeat. I have to win before I leave. Or at least be able to feign an air of victory. ;)
Silly, I know.
