It has been just over a year since my last update, and I'm sorry for that.
I have finally hit 21 years on this Earth, and I have to say it's continuing to be quite the journey. I remember my journal entry on January 19th, 2014, having said that I changed a lot. I feel that is more true now then it was. I have gone through quite a few new things, and have done a lot of personal reflection.
I am nearing three years in the Air Force now. It feels longer and shorter both at the same time. I have enjoyed every moment of it, taking all of the bad with all of the good. I have another three years ahead of me, and I'm going to put them to good use. I am going to start working towards my Computer Science degree, and hopefully minor in Electrical Engineering. I one day hope to work on microprocessors and eventually quantum processors. I am a hardware nerd through and through, and wish to be a part of the amazing teams who make our computers tick faster and faster.
I have also made a change in the sense that I brought it upon myself to finally come out to the rest of my friends and family. It felt like a massive weight was lifted, but at the same time it felt like nothing happened. I feel like I'm standing in the doorway of the closet, both in it and out of it, and I really don't care anymore. My personal life is my own and I can share what I want.
On another note, I was in the longest relationship I've had yet. 8 months. It was a fun and exciting 8 months, but it came time for us to part ways. I evolved as a person and didn't want the same things I did when I entered the relationship. I have to thank her though, for a fun and amazing time. I also dated around a bit more before then, but nothing stuck. If anything, I'm taking more chances and not living under the awkward rock of overthinking that I used to.
My twenty first year (the year at age 20 for those who can't math) showed me I was tired of lacking confidence, and i have become my own person, full of my own opinions and ideals that I will stand by, instead of allowing those around me to define who I am. It also showed me that I have grasped the concept of being an adult. I take responsibility for all of my own actions and the consequences that come with them. If I am in a bad place, then it is because I put myself there. I used to blame everything else, but that was rash and childish. The only thing I have not yet grasped is my finances, but I'm working on figuring it out, slowly but surely.
My grandmother passed away recently, and that was a hard time on both myself as well as my family. I flew home last minute to say my goodbyes to her, but I did not make it in time. It was rough, but I'm thankful to all the people who helped me pull through. I love you Grandma, forever and always, and your only grandson thanks you for everything that you have done for me and my family.
It's been a fun ride yet bumpy ride, and I can't wait to continue it with those who stand by me. Thank you all. <3 =3
