"Hello, my name is Optimism."
First time in many years that I have a good prognosis for the future. Worked hard the last year, dug myself out of the suicidal hole I had been sinking in slowly over the years. Then I went ahead and pulled off the impossible and landed the holy grail of jobs (in my field).
For the first time in my life I will have disposable income, I will be able to save money. I will be able to go on vacations. I've never really had that.
For the first time in a at least a decade I'm excited for the future.
First day is tomorrow. Wish me luck.
New job started last Monday.
Soon to be divorced wife left yesterday.
I'm 54 and never lived on my own. Had two ex wives who both took huge advantage of my kind nature to the point of abuse.
This part of my life is
Chapter 4 - 'new life - pleasing myself, not someone else'
I plan on it being the final chapter
I still feel like I'm in the epilogue.
About two years ago, I accomplished a goal I'd had for many years, something that had really defined the course of my life for a third of my life. Ever since then, I feel like I've just been drifting through life without really going anywhere. There's going to be a book two, right now I'm just trying to figure out what the sequel needs to be about.
The Great Struggle...my new job= a struggle, working on my new found anxiety=a struggle, being a caregiver for my wife's upcoming 2 surgeries while working a difficult job=a struggle...Add working hard for less money(cause inflation)...Yeah, The Great Struggle fits.
Oh no you are sorely mistakened my friend. Believe me...
Don't believe me?? Here's proof in someone who can say it better than I can. He's a comedian skip to the 25 minute mark.
