This Thing Still Exists?

Admittedly I've not been in much of a blogging mood over the past several months. I don't plan on deleting this myself, since I originally started it as a journal-esque venture. I think it's important to see what I've felt and been through in the past. Who knows, if I ever date again, I may get dumped and have another man to vent about on here!

It's been a tough few months for me. I'm coming to a crossroads in my personal and professional life, and I've felt quite rudderless. Now, that's not to say that I've not had any fun or laughed at all. Those who know me know that I'm quite the clown when the time is right, and I've kept up my reputation as a silly jokester. But when the laughter subsides, my average mood has gone from a five to a three. My life feels empty, and I've lost interest in my job. Now, each day is different, and some days I feel happy with life. And if someone came to me and asked me if I have a good life, my first inclination is to still say "yes." Sure, I'd like to tweak my personal and professional life some, but I still have wonderful friends and family in my life who love me. I still get to travel quite a bit (albeit just for work recently), and I've got a very secure job that doesn't leave me stressed out. If I died today I'd still look back and say that I had a GREAT life.

So I'm working through some challenges in my life right now. It'll take time for me to re-engineer my life so that I can be happy on a consistent, day-to-day basis, but I'm 100% confident that I'm going to be able to do it. It may and probably will involve some decisions which may not be easy at first, including a likely physical relocation, but I know I'll come out a better, and happier, person. Wish me luck!
