How many times can you start life over? Do you go at it with less effort everytime? Does your heart get harder and your outlook dimmer each time you push that button?
I’m doing my best to stay positive. 2009 has been a fairly shitty year. My wife left me right at the start, and then 9 months later I got laid off. Not to mention the financial woes that have come along since then.
Next year I’m going to start school. I got accepted to GA State, but I’m gonna switch to Gwinnett Tech. The school is shorter, cheaper, and more geared towards what I want to do. Besides, I hate school.
I’m hoping that decision alone will help make 2010 a better year. This past few months of not working and going skating everyday has been awesome. Dating is still a headache sometimes. But it’s better than sitting home alone. One day I might blog about my trust issues and why I may wind up single forever, but not today.
I’m with you. wife left me, got laid off, grandmother died, and 911 happened all during the same 6 month period. It was like one of those movie scenes where the guy is out in the rain yelling to god, “What else you got for me? Bring it on!” By bring it on I mean fetal position feeling sorry for myself. Fast forward to today… Just turned 43, remarried to a smart, easy going sexy woman, 2 little ones, good job and I’m riding/racing bmx bikes.
Be a shark, just keep moving. It all comes together eventually.
