I've finally decided to blog anonymously after essentially quitting blogging for a number of years due to the drama and trolling it invites when not done anonymously. I don't care if anyone has any interest in anything I write here, nor do I care if anyone reads this. This is for me, and me alone.
I've started this because I've been going through, and should continue going through, a very transitional phase in my life, and figured it might be good to document it. Back in the fall I was laid off after working in the same industry for a decade or so, and ever since I've been on the dole, collecting unemployment. My job had grown very stale and I hadn't been happy there in years, so getting the axe was probably a great thing for me. Since then I've done a lot of "soul searching" (fucking awful term) and tried to figure out what to do next. Currently after almost 6 months I still have no idea, and that is both frightening and exciting.
In the near future I'm setting off on a long road trip around North America for a few months, armed with whatever cash I've got in the bank, my car and some newly purchased camping gear. I hope to visit a few friends, some family members, and ultimately see this country I live in (and the one just above it). I'm open to finding a new place to call home if that should happen, and if not I'm hoping to at least have some fun on an interesting adventure.
But this blog isn't just going to be about my upcoming trip or whatever other external things are going on with my lifepath, career or whatever else. I also want to talk about what's going on internally with me, and with my relationships with others. I'll go into that a bit in my next entry though.
