Weirdness

Life is hard but rewarding. I have taken control of the things I do in my life, finally. My weekends and evenings are entirely my own and I fill them with fun things like running, surfing, swimming, reading, biking, hanging with friends, seeing good movies and TV. I am turning into an outgoing person and for the first time in my life, I sometimes talk to people I don't already know. I get to do all of this living four blocks from the beach in the state I love more than any other. That's right, I'll Sink with California. All of this is great but...

I am constantly worried and anxious. I am lonely and I miss my dogs and close friends back east. It looks like my dad is getting sick again and I'm sad and scared about that. Work is really tough and I have to overthink everything I do to ensure I don't make a misstep. I am struggling to learn how dating works. All of this weighs on me but...

This is life. The greatest rewards I've ever had followed the biggest challenges. I need to stay calm, breathe, and act the way men of honor act. I am going to win.
