QUIET
So I’m kind of in a reinvention phase lately, following through on the promise I made myself when I turned thirty last October. I won’t deny that part of it has kept me a bit isolated from my somewhat scattered social circles, nor will I deny that I have — from time to time — found myself a little bit lonesome for someone to hang out with. But I’m not a complete hermit, and do get to see some friends from time to time.
Things are moving forward, though. I’m back in the gym and making strides towards getting back into shape and eating better. Also I’ve been dating less. Disappointment after disappointment on that front has left me to step back and go through another phase of self-analysis but reminded me that I don’t need a partner in my life to be complete.
And that’s really the crux of the whole deal: re-learning to like myself, and taking steps to correct those aspects that I find lacking. I’m making changes, but only for myself… and hopefully, down the road I’ll be ready when the right person comes along — physically, mentally and emotionally.
Again, sorry I’ve been quiet. I just haven’t had much to share lately… but I’m still alive and very much ticking!
