For the longest time, life has felt like a constant dash up hill, only to find another to summit once you are over the crest. So let us take a moment to stop, think, rub the eyes and look around.
So much has changed since I've last visited. The people in my life are different; those you would've expected to be here forever are now merely acquaintances. Indeed it is spectacularly difficult to keep in touch with folks these days, and when that challenge is surpassed, it is even harder to stay relevant in each others lives. While solitude is something familiar by now--in fact, one that is desired usually--I do miss having that core group of friends to share life with. But now, I don't stay still long enough for these bonds to form.
New job, new living arrangements, new enterprises, new interests. Quite good progress over six months, but the path forward is daunting. Entering adulthood in earnest is more frustrating than concerning, mostly due to limitations to my growth due to a lack of personal development time or a mentor. It has gotten to the point where I require specialized knowledge to realize my dreams; but because they are from multiple fields, I simply don't have the time to develop it all.
Still, I will find a way.
A bit tired, but highly motivated. Leaving this here in memory of the fond past, when I still wrote.
