Now, yes.

A few months ago I went through a nasty breakup days before I was about to propose. I suddenly found myself completely alone having pushed all my friends away over the course of the six year relationship, homeless (in the sense of not having a "home" although I did have a roof over my head), and in a job that I quickly realized I had only been sticking with to support us because it was stable. I hated it.

Now I have reconnected with old friends, made more new ones than I can count, spent a lot of time with a therapist, and my mental health is much better than it ever has been.

On Saturday I start a several thousand mile drive to a new beginning in a new state with a new job that aligns perfectly with my skill set and comes with a nice 62% pay bump.

So for today, I'm doing alright.
