Life Updated



I realize it has been a long time since I updated this blog. I have been focusing so much on my other blog (IMP-Opinion.blospot.com) that I haven't been loyal to people interested in my life. But let's be honest, very few of you reading this are not a part of my family. If you are not a member of my family and you find yourself reading this...AWESOME!!! Welcome to my life!

Since I have 10 months to cover in one post I will make things brief, and what is more brief than bullet points!?

- Oct 2015 I got a job!
- Nov 2015 Decided to forego grad school for a time for financial reasons
- Dec 2015 found myself as a 20-something single male living in my parents basement
- Jan 2016 Secided to change previous bullet point...and got promoted at work
- Jan 2016 Moved to Wyoming (don't ask me why)
- Feb 2016 Really began adulting (aka bought car, job with benefits, etc)
- Feb-May 2016 Worked my butt of at my job
- June 2016 ANOTHER PROMOTION!!
- July 2016 Regretted accepting the promotion
- July 2016 No longer regretted the promotion
- Today - At terms with life

Life has sure changed a lot but for the most part everything has been good changes. I am blessed to have been divinely led so much in recent months. Though I do hope to find my way out of the dusty, windy, semi-civilized, quaint, hole-in-the-wall state of Wyoming in the near future, I am content with where I am. Yes, location wise but also as a person. If I can get vp back to regularity in posting on this blog (Metamucil will not help here) I can speak more to these changes as well as others.

But for now, I will not monopolize your life with my life. I'm not that narcissistic.

33 Beginnings

Why is it that the beginning of something is the most exciting part of something? Humans crave newness. The opening day of a new sports season. The first day of school. New Years. For a society that fears the unknown so much, there is a lot of weight placed on beginnings. Starting something new is symbolic of leaving something old behind. It could be a bad habit or an old relationship or even just a former version of self. This seems to be the most prevalent reason behind the excitement for newness. We want to leave our old selves behind.  Every day, month, or year could have a justification attached to it on why that day is so special and labeled as a day to start something new. Often the beginnings happen with no forethought or attention given at all. These non-meditated, organic beginnings are possibly the most beneficial. They carry far less stress than dissected inceptions. I once read a book called "They Both Die at the End" by Adam Silvera. Talk about a spoiler alert.

"King of Scars"

Once upon a time, a young boy known for being a voracious reader entered the world of Goodreads.... Alright, alright, so when I started Goodreads I was not a voracious reader and even now I consider myself more a bookworm than a voracious reader. Don't ask me the difference because I have no concrete definition to go off of. I simply know that there are a lot of people out there who read a lot more than I do although I do love reading. I started on Goodreads eight years ago and have been rather active on there ever since. In the past two years, however, I have become enveloped in the community of readers that is there. I used to try to keep my reading to more the Classic novels and rarely go outside that genre. My lovely reading community finally helped me break out of my narrowness and now I really enjoy everything from nonfiction to historical fiction but I now have a special affinity toward Young Adult fiction. For one, it is easier to read. The stories are easy to follow

Reading List

So i made a list of things that i want to do before my mission and one of the things was to read a lot of books. At first i made a huge list that had about 37 large books on it but i knew that i wouldn't be able to do that so i had to update it. It is now down to about 20 but i am still skeptical on completing the list. I really want to read good books and i don't know if i am going to like all of the books on my list or not and i don't want to waste time. So . . . if anyone recommends any books for me to read before i leave, please let me know in the comments and also tell my why i should read it. i am looking forward to seeing your recommendations and reading the books that y'all like.
