Sooooo....
Here I am again. I didn't die or anything, but so much has happened since the last post I made. I definitely neglected this and that is on me.
So let's see... what has happened since the beginning of 2022?
I will try to go off of memory (which I am sure I will miss something, too much has happened)
The plan to more out of Indiana that was postponed due to my crazy covid experiences took place.
I moved to Charlotte in March of 2022.
Immediately realized my allergies hulked up on me.
The cost of living there jumped up by like 20%. Fun times.
Jumped on the dating sites and realized the people down here are very different.
Got a new job.
Realized the apartment I was in was a secret shit show.
Hanging out with the friends I made in 2021 when I visited Charlotte the first time.
Met a really cool woman.
Celebrated my bday on the 27th of March.
Met some Xbox gaming friends for the first time.
Met some new cool people and some strange ones.
Hung out almost every day for like 2-3 months straight.
Got really familiar with the northeast and north side of Charlotte.
Had a huge back and forth with the apartment complex after my AC went out.
Broke my lease in June 2022.
Rented my first house in June 2022.
Got my scuba license.
Dived in the Keys and swam with sharks.
Had a friend and her daughter staying in the house with me for a bit.
Had family and friends coming in town to visit and stay here and there.
Started getting serious with the cool woman I found on Hinge.
Met some more really cool people.
Went back to Indiana for the first time since I moved with the cool woman.
Started a relationship with the cool woman. (Pictured above)
Hike some mountains.
My lingering back issues were found out to not be a spine issue but a muscle issue.
Had to stop playing basketball to focus on healing my back/glute muscles that were breaking down the nerves in my spine.
Lost my job in October 2022.
Hosted Thanksgiving with my lady and her family.
December 2022, Siris moves into my house.
Went back to Indiana for Christmas.
Got a new job in Jan 2023.
Making six figures for the first time.
Figured out the job was not what it was explained to be at all.
Had a major leak in the window of the house. It exposed the hidden mold in the walls.
Celebrated my milestone birthday and so many people came to celebrate and I got super tore up smh lol.
Lost my job in the most movie/TV scheming and dramatic way ever. My welcome to corporate America I guess.
Realized corporate America isn't really for me. (I knew this but still tried to play the game)
Got word my great grandmother was not doing well.
My great grandmother passes.
Went back to Indiana to bury her.
Moved out of my house and decided not to renew the lease due to the mold issues that would not get addressed properly.
Had our first anniversary with my lady.
Went on a road trip with my lady to see her friends and family in Chicago.
Decided to redo my website and start taking my art way more seriously!
Sooo.... I believe I got most of it, but I'm sure I'm missing some things. But it feels good to be back in my creative bag! I have so many ideas and plans in the works! Expect a post at least once a month. I will hold myself accountable to update the site and make sure I don't allow life to take me away from creating again!
I'll get up with you later ✌🏽
