Similiar values

As I'm going through interviews to replace my position as well as another position, I'm realizing that no one at the table shares the same values as me. It is amazing that we were able to get along this long without our differences coming into place. I have gone to shop with them, watched them drop 200$ on one item without batting an eye. I've travelled to different countries with them. And today I've heard them say ridiculous things about why they wouldn't hire someone that align with exactly the person I am. Gosh, how the heck did I get hired. It makes almost no sense. I have nothing that they are looking for, but must be exactly what they needed, maybe even exactly what I needed, to succeed be a better person, but knowing who I didn't want to be.

At 27, from how/where I grew up, I should be looking to buy a house by now, outside of some small city, in a suburb. I should have a regular boyfriend maybe one that I'm hinting that I'm ready for marriage. Still active, still young, my subconscience is moving me to these things. DC is def not a place where I will be buying anything, or hinting to anyone. I'm blessed to leave to follow my traditional values, but I will definitely miss this place. When I leave the area, I hear people talk about this place as a vacation spot, a place to visit, and it makes me smile, I live here. I do that stuff all the time, there are always forty-leven things going on, for free, people to see places to visit, but I think Charlotte will be like that too. AND for cheaper.
