Wow still can't believe I'm at Google. Life feels surreal sometimes. Very thankful for the people who helped me get here. Even though I hated more of my time at Amazon, I'm still very thankful to Amazon. I would not be here without it. I've decided to forgive and forget Amazon. Not going to be jaded and resentful anymore, and going to start over at Google. Being resentment is a burden. At Google, I hope I can prove to myself that I was always a good enough engineer, I was just put in the wrong environment and got unlucky.

Looking back to my 19 year old self, I feel like I've changed a lot to get here and had to grow up too fast. I hope that in the future, I can be carefree again.

Quotes of the moment:

• "Resentment is the poison you drink, hoping it will kill your enemies".

• Quit Amazon. Work on a project that actually helps people or makes a difference in people's lives (make yourself proud first)
• Speak up and push back when I have strong opinions. Be confident in my abilities (don't worry about being wrong and looking stupid)
• Don't get lazy. There are more obstacles to come - don't choose the easy options. (stay hungry for knowledge, truth, and personal growth)
• Don't stay in unhappy situations (you're always allowed to leave)
• Give myself permission to do things that everybody else isn't doing (don't worry what everybody else will think of you)
• Read 5 books a year (seek other's points of views)
• Don't buy too much shit (experiences >>> things)

• listen to interesting podcasts
• listen to audiobooks
• hike every national park
• travel internationally
• make meaningful friendships
• be a strong independent woman who don't need no man

• Important to do soul searching - he knows so many people who get burned out and needed to decompress. He has burnouts all the time. The early days of Java was not fun.
• There’s no such thing as a dream job - jobs have a life cycle and have a honeymoon phase too. Stick around as long as you find the work still compelling, but it’s okay to move on when it isn’t anymore. He’s also stuck at companies way too long because he liked the product too much.
• You should take a lot of risks. If you haven’t gone through trying out new jobs and then realizing you don’t like them later, and moving on, that means you’re not taking enough risks.
• Important to have a plan, take some time off to figure out what you want to do - agrees with me using my 2 weeks vacation t...
