Introspection
In ten minutes I have to leave work. Ten minutes doesn't seem like that much time at all to expound upon the strange and wonderful ways my life has evolved. I suppose that was a little bit melodramatic, my life isn't strange and wonderful....well at least I don't think many other people would think so. It is wonderful to me. I've finally found a path in life, I finally have goals to work toward and I think I'm going to be okay. The future isn't as scary as it used to be, sure it would be impossible to say that I know what I'm going to do or be when I grow up but at least now I have an idea. I spent a little bit of time talking to Jason Winkle when I got back from Bloomington at the start of the school year. He thought that I would be able to get my 10 ranks in both stickfighting and grappling this year and then do JKD and ringfighting next year. That would give me a very good start once I leave Indiana, a good basis from which to start teaching. This is what I want to do for the rest of my life, who would have guessed I would be doing what most of the people in my life do. Although, luckily for me, I won't be seeing the inside of a classroom in the traditional sense.
It comes to mind that I am the luckiest person I happen to know at the moment. The more I think on it the more I realize I have everything people strive for. Well, maybe not everything as I am relatively poor. I do have the important things though. I have the love of the most amazing woman (are we that grown up now?), I have my passion, I even have a semblance of a plan for the future. I'm not worried about what will happen tomorrow (in the figurative sense not whats actually happening on October 27th), I don't stress because I know everything will be alright. Everyday I get to do something I enjoy, be it training or cuddling or talking to the only person who has ever been able to really make me happy. I'm the healthiest I've ever been in my entire life as well as the strongest and these things will only get better. But more on this later, as now I must leave to go train and weightlift.
