M.I.A

Where have I Been? Here and there, my mind was in a fog/haze last week because I just had these weird/toxic thoughts running through my mind. But I've realized that they're just thoughts. Towards the end of last week I was swamped at working and ended up working late Friday and early Saturday morning. Sunday was a pretty relaxed day, spent most of my day at home bumming around the house (what I do best on Sunday, my day of rest). Monday I was off to an early start at work and spent the rest of the day in the office and ended up staying an extra hour to finish some stuff.

Its been cold! Especially in my house, I don't know why but I guess winter is coming. I hate the cold in my house, it makes me want to stay covered up under a blanket. Today seems a little better, the sun is actually up and Its not raining.

That's that, lets get to what I really wanted to post.

Finding Yourself in Life

Growing up I had all these hopes and dreams of many different things that I wanted to do when I was older and for the most part I was content about these things. I strayed off my path a little bit during my first few years of High School but got my act together towards the end. I finished high school and decided to enter into technical school before going to college, this way I can get trained in what I wanted to do and hopefully find a job to give me some experience. Things actually did work out that way...Once i finished technical school I found a job 4 months or so later and I'm still there today. I enjoy my job, I really do and noticed in a meeting the other day that I'm part of the small team that we have at work. Its like a puzzle...each piece has its purpose and without all the pieces the puzzle isn't quite complete. Of course it has its bad days, but what job doesn't?

Since I started having bad anxiety I was initially knocked off my feet again and needed to find myself because I felt lost and hopeless. I began reading about life, god, and general well-being which really help re-focus my perspective in life. But still something is off, I feel as if I have a greater calling to do something and I have not found it yet. I want to get into something that I truly enjoy doing and that I am passionate about.Again I love my job i really do but I'm not passionate about it and I'm not excited about the direction its headed in, even though the company is doing really well. At the end of the day I can't see myself doing this for the rest of my life..

Its not about the money, I don't need to be rich.. I want to be financially comfortable and able to take care of my own. I could have all the money in the world and still be in the same place that I am today, it wouldn't change a thing for me besides material objects. Its about finding something that I love to do and profiting from it is just the icing on the cake. I read in another blog where someone said between 22-30 was the hardest years of his life because he was looking for "that thing". I'm sure people go through the same thing and spend years looking for it. Try and try again..

For me my greatest strength can also be my greatest weakness. I am well rounded meaning that I am good at many things, not great at one thing. There's so much that I like to do but finding that one thing is going to be difficult.

I'm determined to find my niche. I believe everything happens for a reason, no matter how bad the circumstances were that you had to endure. I'm still here today and there's a reason for that.

My birthday is this weekend also, I'll be 22 (Just in time to kick things off)

Keep It Moving

Decided to write something about an experience I had this past Saturday. I had a pretty easy Friday at work, it was pretty quite. Friday night I spent at home relaxing, went out to grab some food with a few buddies around 10PM and came back home to hit the bed. Woke up around 9:30AM (Overslept a bit) and did my normal morning routine. Had to visit a client and install some software at around 11:30 so I prepped for that and left my house. Got to the clients location everything went smooth, finished up there around 12:15P and left as I had another job lined up and their location was closing at 1. I must have drove about 5 miles or so and came to a stoplight with light traffic and the light was red. As I'm listening to music and enjoying the scenery all of a sudden I start feeling "weird" and think to myself "this doesn't feel normal" but I realized what was going on. There it was anxiety popping its ugly head up again and I start thinking about what just h...

Its Friday

Got through the rest of my week pretty good, despite being semi swamped at work these last two days. So I'm sitting here on a Friday night kinda wondering if I should go out or stay in and watch a movie. My nose is stuffy and in the back of my mind I'm like great I feel like I'm getting sick so naturally i start thinking about being sick. Of course this brings on some thought of anxiety but a buddy of mine called and asked to hang out so I said sure, might as well get out the house for a little bit, clear my head. I've been noticing as things get better with my anxiety, from time to time I will take a step back and say wait everything is going smooth.... are things supposed to be so smooth? Its like I'm sometimes on alert just waiting for the next anxiety attack to happen and I think that can bring on actual anxiety. I let these thoughts jumble up in my head for no apparent reason... Not going to get into detail on this tonight as I'm heading out for a littl...

Past weekend

As I try to figure out what to write, I'm trying to remember what I did this past Friday night since I last posted on my blog. I cannot remember, does anxiety make you forgetful? Sometimes I feel a little clumsy/forgetful. Anyway Saturday I spent hanging out with an old friend. We had a pretty good time catching up and remembering old memories, headed home to get some much needed sleep. Sunday stayed home mostly all day, bumming around the house. Went to a friends house to catch the Colts vs Giants game........wow, the giants were bad. I left at half-time because I couldn't take it anymore and I'm not even a big giants fan!! Monday I was supposed to work but my boss told me not to come in since It was already late and I was stuck at home waiting for the rental car company to pick me up, so I enjoyed a day off and got a chance to start on a new book. Currently I'm reading a book called "Rework" by a company called 37Signals, pretty good book so far. The book ...
