I've decided to cautiously publish some of my writing online. I'll show some people, get some feedback. We'll see if I should explore the print option after that. I think I'd like to have a book one day.
I've reached the end of year 3 in Portland, and I will be signing a new year long lease on Friday. Although I'm happy to have my living arrangements in order with only moments to spare, I now turn my attention to the projection of my life in November 2014. I am currently in the latter days of what was the worst depression of my life to date. I'm not completely out of the weeds yet, but I see the world beginning to regain its color. My resolve being much brighter than it was in the Spring, I do see myself being open to new possibilities here in Portland, but I still have no concrete reason to stay as long as will be agreed upon on the new lease. The hopes I currently have here are the very same which brought me down, but with a calloused heart I feel better equipped to bear the disappointment. I feel it possible to coexist with the emotional enemy. What that means for those new possibilities which may present themselves is a challenge. Despite my eagerness to have something special play a major part in my life, it will require incredible determination to circumvent my new armor.
