October approaches
4 years ago
October's a big month for me this year, goals-wise. I'll have finished my Master's degree, it's when I've programmed my powerlifting to get me my 1,000 lb combined lift, and I'll have finished my safety professional certification by then.
I know I've been distant to folks. Since my goals are so self-focused, my social presence has declined significantly. It's cost me at least one friendship and degraded a few others, which sucks. I've committed to myself to climb back out of this figurative bunker I've been in since Spring 2020.
When the pandemic hit, I made an early promise to myself to come out of it better than I went into it. I feel like that's within reach. I'm looking to finalize some professional and personal credentials and credibility; subsequently, I already have a new set of goals in mind that I'll be taking on once these other ones are in the books. Priority #1 is improving my art.
tl;dr if you haven't ditched me yet, thanks much for your patience. Normal service will resume.

I also made some self care goals to do better for myself that first quarantine back in March 2020. And I’m working hard to stick to it!
And I don't like going away, especially from cool people 😉. So, you're always welcome to hmu. I have been avoiding DMing you before because I knew you had been so busy, but if you're going to be free soon, I may abandon my previous shyness with that. I'm a shy person to begin with when it comes to DMs, but I like you, so I want you to know, you're welcome to chat with me.
OK, I'm done being soggy.
I'm grateful for your patience, and I'm looking forward to chatting more once I afford myself more time for it!
I'll be there!
