I really don't know what to put here. My birthday is coming up and I have a theme for the year but I've been trying to evaluate my work/career life. I truly was miserable and made bad choice up until January. Now I'm out here taking risk that I figured I wouldn't take again. I think taking a month from work was really transformative for me. I just did my hobbies. Nothing wrong with that especially when you feel like you are constantly living a double life trying to balance everything. I've been very clear about the line for me and my hobby and for the most part was sticking to it until March. At that time I switched the balance to focus on work and money. Hobbies are expensive. lol Anyway as I reach my birthday I'm trying to figure out a rebalance of things. I'm working on ramping up in my hobbies again so work will be boxed into 40hrs a week and nothing more. I think this ok. I do good work and I think that I manage my time well enough for this to work out. Also as many people point out this time next year GTA 6 is coming out and I need all the free time for that. Side story, I bought GTA 5 when it dropped and every time I stepped in my door room the Xbox turned on. lol I pretty much went nowhere extra for a week. So you might be asking if I have goals for this new year of life. Nope. I decided goals are a constant thing but I don't put time limits on things like that. I've switched to having life themes. My theme for this new year of life will be "showing up consistently as myself without compromise". I'm fairly good at this I think but it's not consistent. Everyone changes a bit per situation. I don't want to feel like those changes are drastic. I want to feel like the same me (anxiety in all) in every situation without the need to adjust for the audiance. Lastly my career...well I kinda made some big leaps here lately. Career wise I want to take the risk to be known and ahead of the curve. I'd like to think I've noticed early patterns for quite a few things in my career and have casually spoke about them. I don't ever really put myself out there though. I vow to change that and let people know "I'm here and I know things. Have mastered things, and worth listening to". I hope that doesn't come off as cocky, but yea. Guess we will see how things go. As always I'm chilling and things will get done. I'm interested to see in what order things get accomplished.
