Week 19: Forget it, It's not worth your time

I've been purposely neglecting this blog for the past few weeks. You see, I've thought and thought about what I could possibly say that wouldn't depress the reading audience. I have been really unhappy and pessimistic lately and I did not want that to rub off on everyone. I found myself purposely isolated from my friends and family. I had a lot of time to really think things over. I now advise you to not do the same thing. Isolation isn't the answer. It will just make things worse. Life must be lived. Life must be enjoyed, not endured. Put to good use, not squandered. If you find yourself in a less than favorable situation, get out. Don't hide and beat up on yourself for it. Take control of your life. Make changes. I have been obsessed lately with this intense desire to get back in control of my life and destination. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to achieve this. This obsession, however, must require some caution. In my efforts to gain control I have been faced with many large decisions. Careful to not make the wrong ones. You only have one mortal existence. Don't waste it on stupidity. Use it for the benefit of others.

I will admit that my life has gone in the complete opposite direction that I had imagined it would since my return from my 2-year hiatus. That fact depressed me. It still does. But I have chosen to not dwell on it anymore. I am taking my life in a new direction.

During my 2-year hiatus, I met many people. People that changed my life for the better. People that influenced me to keep on the straight and narrow. One of these people, Tanton Jeppson, really made a lasting impression. He and I were thrown every curveball and disappointment. Every plan we had went to the pot it seems. But he helped me to persevere and get up everyday and work on our lonely island. To this day, I use the things I learned from him to help me get up everyday and work. Thanks buddy.

Well this is all I have for today.

Forget about the small things, they are not worth your worry and strife. Get control of your life.
