I've also done three hours of supervision with Gina. I don't have a clue what the heck I'm doing. I want to help her develop her clinical skills. I do not want to try to mold her into my style of doing therapy. Therapists are supposed to be different. Our personalities are different. Gina is much more confrontational and assertive. I'm much more empathetic and gentle. I want to help her figure out her own cases and look at them objectively.
We go on vacation in a couple of weeks. I cannot wait to swoosh down the mountain and relax from work for a whole week. The time off for Christmas was good, but I struggle with the short three day work weeks that are leftover when I take a long weekend. I end up with the same amount of work and only three days to accomplish the work in instead of five.
I have a wide variety of friends. By that I mean, I have very liberal friends, very conservative friends, very religious friends, very spiritual friends, young friends, older friends, friends my own age, etc. I definitely have interesting, unique friends. I wonder what that says about me? Does it mean that I'm capable of being around lots of different people easily? Does it mean that I blend in with whoever I'm with and not speak my own truth and stand my ground? Maybe some of both? I'm not sure, but I've been thinking about it lately.

I think it means that you are comfortable with who you are and do not find the need to make other people like you. You value diversity and are stimulated by others who challenge you to look at life through a different lens than your own. That's what I think, anyway. ;-)
