Dear blog,
It’s been a while. I’ve missed you.

Over the past 3 months I’ve come to recognize I have an extremely addictive personality. Meaning, as soon as I really like something, I go all in on it and don’t stop until I feel like i’ve put enough work in on that one thing to a satisfactory level.
A couple of examples:
This blog. It started over a year ago and I went 120 straight days of writing. Since then it’s been sporadic at best.
Training for a marathon in 2019. Gave myself 3 months to do it and ran it in Estonia (i’ll guarantee you have no idea where that is on a map)
A no carb diet - did this in 2017 for 2-3 months and lost almost 30 pounds.
Painting - started as a second job and did it religiously for two years and now I do it completely for myself.

I guess my point is, that the blog seemed to fall by the waste side as i’ve prioritized other missions I have. It’s not to say it doesnt have a place for me. I miss writing what comes to mind - i’ve tried that in a physical journal even over the past 4-6 months.
I will let people know, for all 5 people that will occasionally read this (and i do look at my squarespace analytics ;P ) that i’m in the process of writing a book. It’s more of a reflection of the first 30 years of my life. And for context I’m 29 right now.

Aside: if anyone has any idea how to self publish and how fast it’s possible to do so, please let me know.

Here are some key things I’m dealing with or working on in my life right now; followed by some recent images I found on my phone.
PS - thanks for giving a shit.

75Hard - a 75 day extreme discipline challenge where i have to drink a gallon of water, work out twice a day for 45 minutes each (one has to be outside), read everyday, no drinking alcohol, and go on a diet. i’m on day 22…
I’ve been working on finishing old paintings of mine that i’ve been putting off. Told myself I wont start a new one til I finish them.
I’ve really taken a break from dating - specifically online dating. It’s driving me nuts how little people LIVE and go day to day wasting their time on earth. I need to find someone with as much energy as me.
I haven’t felt this GOOD in general in a very long time, maybe ever. It’s not perfect - some days really fucking suck and im mentally physically and emotionally exhausted; but im thankful for where i’m at.
I’m super happy for a lot of the friends i’ve been surrounding myself with and how well they’re doing and how they’re going after their dreams. If you want to join that small close circle hit me up - lets share that energy.
