For those who haven't read my TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS article I've posted awhile back, I've been M.I.A. most of the summer to get myself back together mentally and financially. Planning to move out my Dad's house and looking for (and eventually getting) a job it the sole reason why I haven't been producing any new content since my last YouTube live stream back in June. Long and short, I've been more focus on bettering myself than producing YouTube content.
Aside from that, plus letting everybody know on social media that I'm "still alive," one may ask, "where do I go from here?" Clearing my debts for one. After leaving my janitorial job after four years and recently started at a worldwide online shopping fulfillment center (which I can't reveal the name due to legal and job security reasons, I managed to clear the majority of my debts with my first earnings. While it feels great to clear up my credit, I'm a long way from being out in the red. But given I earn more on a bi-weekly basis at the new job compare to my old one, I should be in the clear before the fall. The job itself is not easy, especially a 40-hour, 10 hours a night shift, and its taking a toll on my body, but its worth it. Given that I have Apocalypse Now on my mind as of late, I feel that everyone (that truly deserve it) gets everything they want. I wanted a high paying job, and for my journey to redemption, getting out of debt and second chances, I got one. Brought it up to me over the phone like meeting Stan Lee at a comic convention. It was a real choice job to start all over, and after years of procrastinating, I never wanted another. Never again to be a liability. Lord knows how long I'll last at my new job. Hopefully I'll stay long enough to clean my credit, save up for a security deposit for my own apartment (an efficiency, I hoped), rebuild my gaming and movie collection all to regain my peace of mind. It's good to have a back up plan whenever you're in a jam. Even if things don't work out at my new job, at least I'll have my savings to fall back on until my job rep finds me a new one. While I'll return to making content eventually, I'm really looking more into bettering myself before doing so. I'm only 32 (will be 33 in October) so I'm not getting any younger. But as I digress, I'm just gonna continue working, taking on one thing at a time, and hopefully live my life. It's also important to not handle more than what you can carry. Lord forbids, everything will come crashing down if I try to take on every single thing. Only time will tell if something good comes out of carrying myself out that hole I've been confined in for so long...
