Because we all have drama and we all want less of it and we would rather not have to take on anymore than we need to.
So this used to be the whipping post I would lash out on and attack.
But, life has changed.
Human beings are incredible creatures. We can change completely, adapt partially, rebel, conform, and switch it all up again in an hour if we feel like it. All in the attempt to continue improving on ourselves.Thankfully, I've improved. I'm not as tired as I used to be and I have less to vent/rant about because of that.
A big source of my stress was in the relationship aisle of life. As they are with many other people. Will I be alone forever? Will I meet someone who will love me completely? You know, usual stuff. But thankfully the issues I had with romantic/intimate relationships in my past are diminishing. How? I dunno. I guess I just decided that my actions in the past weren't working so I tried something different. Human beings are incredible creatures with many options. Sometimes we stick to one option too often and think its our only choice. Other times we are brave enough to try something different. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn't.
My stressful job has transformed into a career I'm excited about. The relationships with my family has strengthened through our own individual accomplishments. Overall, life ain't that bad.
Now comes the question of, what do I do now? How can I continue improving?
I'm going to remodel a home all by myself. Yup.

| Jeston and I sometime in October 2013 |
Jeston bought a house when he moved to North Carolina, and even though we both don't plan on retiring here, we are going to be around for a few years. Well, I say we, but he's out conquering the seven seas as an audio engineer for Carnival Cruise Lines and I'm working for Duke University. So, when I say we, I really mean, I'll be here in NC waiting for him to come back from work in 8 months.
December 2014 That's when he comes back home. Unless something changes and he's back earlier or later. But December is the tentative deadline.
So I've got 8 months to remodel a home. And I'm going to keep a record of that endeavor right here on this blog that once served as a cathartic release of emotions and concerns.
Because how else do you gather outside validation for your accomplishments without showing them off to the world wide web! I mean come on, selfies?!
this is bigger than a selfie.
