Is One Month Enough to Know?
It’s here – the end of February. February is the window of time I set for myself to try my four best options. I’m surprised and discouraged that I still don’t have a clear, single path forward. Perhaps I wouldn’t be enthused with life deciding for me, either. Part of the deal was that if all of these completely failed, or I found out I disliked all of them, I would then…
What Is Certainty?
Building off of my last post, I have to say that I’m still far from certain about a “career choice”, to the point that I don’t know if I ever will be certain. I have so much doubt.

Fear Is a Powerful Motivator
In April of 2022, I almost overdrew my checking account when paying rent. May was a close call as well. I wouldn’t say I’ve had too many times in my life where my income well exceeded my bills, but until April happened, I’d put any legitimate worries about not having the money for rent well behind me.
