So a lot has happened in my life since the last time I posted on this blog. Everything that has happen has taken up all my time, which meant no time for blogging. Now that I am more settled in life I decided I should start blogging again because I&#8217;ve really missed it!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\nI originally started this blog as a way to deal with my anxiety and give my self some purpose and structure in my life. Due to my anxiety and depression I wasn&#8217;t able to get a job after graduating high-school, and I saw blogging as a way to escape that prison and maybe even someday turn it into a career, if I was lucky! But shortly after starting this blog a lot of great things happened to me, and I&#8217;m now in a much better place in my life and have a healthier state of mind! Whoop, Whoop. So here&#8217;s a list of everything that&#8217;s happened in my life in these last couple of years:<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Moved to Oregon with my parents<\/b>&nbsp;&#8211; <span style=\"color: #666666;\">This was a win-lose situation because I initially&nbsp;didn&#8217;t&nbsp;want to go and the property we ended up buying was way out in the boonies. No internet, dirt road, isolated from the world. It wasn&#8217;t the best for someone like me who is a hermit but, this life change led to a lot of other great changes in my life!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Got a job, whaaaat&nbsp;<\/b>&#8211; <span style=\"color: #666666;\">I started out just doing paperwork in the engineering department of my company , easy peasy stuff. I did so well, that I moved on to being our primary parametric modeler for all our products, ayooo!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Moved out on my own&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/b><span style=\"color: #666666;\">&#8211;&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #666666;\">A year after living with my parents and saving up money I&#8217;m finally living on my own (with roommates) for the first time! Crazy fast internet, freedom, and independence! I&#8217;ll make sure to do a room tour post later on.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>New member of the cat family&nbsp;<\/b><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><b>&#8211;&nbsp;<\/b> <\/span><span style=\"color: #666666;\">His name is Pluto and he is the tiniest and cutest thing! He was originally my sisters but she had to move and couldn&#8217;t&nbsp;keep him. I fell in love with him and now he is an adorable addition to our little cat family.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Reduced my social anxiety and gained social skills <\/b><span style=\"color: #666666;\">&#8211; Having a job and living on my own has really forced me to be more independent and be more of an adult. I&#8217;m constantly interacting&nbsp;with others at work and driving all over the place. These are two things I pretty much avoided 3 years ago.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #666666;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #666666;\">Life is changing for the better, here&#8217;s to a happier healthier&nbsp;life!
