Posted at December 27, 2011, 8:56 pm: The History Life has been rough and I've had to take on a new login here so that I'd be free to speak my mind without my RL friends knowing who I am. Anyway, these are interesting times for me; and I want to share. It's kind of a 'I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger' things. I've wasted many years of my life, and I want to get them back. Say what you will about me, but you can't fault a guy for finding what he likes and doing his best to pursue his happiness.... It all started with lifting....none of my problems were really because I was small, but it doesn't matter how things really are, what matters is how you percieve things to be. I felt like a person was who they are and nobody can change. Working out was something I had always done for sports; and I never had a great body - needed to have great genetics for that - and I didn't. But I came here, when I graduated college. And I wasted time doing stupid shit; but after a while I got my routine down and I saw some newbie gains. I hit a plateu, life got in the way, etc, etc, but I kept lifting and the gym became my church, or sanctuary. I stopped lifting because I felt insecure, and I started lifting because I wanted to lift. The weight didn't matter, the feeling mattered. I began to love the gym. That's when I started to, slowly, make real progress. I gained a few pounds...big deal. But something started happening. I started to look at people different. I can't explain it too well, except to say that I finally just accepted that there is some inherint worth in people. In *me*. It didn't matter if I wasn't the best looking guy, or the smartest, or the fastest - someone will always be better; but there is an indefinable quality that makes me, me. And slowly my life started to change.... I didn't like my job. But 'Oh well, it's a 'good' job' is what I used to think. But then I said 'No....I might not be the best computer programmer in the world....BUT, I am better than this'. And I went out and got some certifications and I got a new job. A much, much better job. Now I'm a relatively high-paid consultant. I've been working there nearly two months now.....and it came with a nearly 10k increase in pay. I was sharing an apartment with my girlfriend. Her and I started dating in college; she was a nice girl, and we got along. She wasn't the kind of girl you meet and go 'OH MY GOD - She's amazing' though. But those girls were 'out of my league' so I got together with her and had been dating for three years. The truth was, though, I didn't like the apartment. I wanted to own, buy a condo/house. But I didn't really have enough money, and my GF didn't want to do it....and I could only afford a fixer-upper and I don't really know how to fix a condo up, and it'd be a lot of work.... But that was before. I said 'Screw it, I can do it'. And I found a condo, a great deal, 100k for a 2 bedroom - the cheapest place in the area. 2 bedroom condos in the same building are going for 120 (the place is a run-down shithole). Anyway, I should close on the 15th of this month; and then I'll begin the repairs; redo the bathroom first, the kitchen, tear down a wall or two, put down hardwood floors; etc, etc - it will be pimp as hell when I'm done. I'll either get a roommate and make some cash; or use the 2nd bedroom as a personal gym. And, the GF? Well, my whole life I've wanted to be 'the guy' that can go out and be social and meet people. But I never have. And, while I feel guilty, and never did it on purpose - my GF wasn't right for me; I was settling - like I think most people do. And I was on the fast track to a mediocore life as an overweight 40 year old with 3 kids, a dog, a 2nd mortgage, and a job he hates. So, while she was/is a great girl who I truely wish the absolute best for - her and I are splitting ways. I'm moving into the condo and she will not. I really do wish the best for her - but I've got to go and do the things I've got to do.......
