Who am I, why am I here?

in #personal7 years ago

Thats one of those things I always ask myself when I start out these sorts of things.

I am 40, soon to be 41. I went to college late in life because I didn't have my life together when I was in High School. So at 40 I find I am enjoying a life experience with people in their 20s. The big crash in 08 put me in a bad financial position which I finally have caught back up from 10 years later.

I am working on becoming a writer, but I haven't crossed the hump from draft 1 to draft 2 yet. I want to go back to graduate school but I am afraid....I am afraid that if I do that the whole world will crash down around me. I am watching my mother get older and while she isn't infirmed in mind or body yet I can see that coming around the corner. If I am going to live my life I am going to have to walk away from her and hers....

I love films, and I have gotten deeper into a taste and pallet for the movies. I love cartoons, comics, and all of those sorts of things. I am a passionate table top role-player. I was passionate about Freemasonry but I found that a separation from that life has been better for me. And I know when I move from the town I am in I will find the brotherhood again some other place and that passion will be renewed.

I used to be passionate about politics and that makes me sad: But I want to use my passions and education for public service. But until I get that off the ground I am grinding away at a accounts Receivable/Collections job. I talk to 500-800 people every week. And it makes me numb when dealing with other people before I go to work.

This is going to take me a bit to develop a voice on thats different then Facebook and Twitter or other social media platforms.

But when I heard Darth Zuckerberg was going to try and do something like this I figured I would try it out.
