About a year ago, it seemed like in my life the shit hit the fan. I was at a point in my life where I thought there was a defined path. Then in a matter of mere days it all changed. When my long term girlfriend at the time and I broke up, my life was thrown into chaos. All of a sudden my life seemed like it was in limbo all of a sudden. I guess the most apt way to describe it, would be like falling into an abyss.
It took weeks just to scrape up the pieces of the emotional wreck I had become into a somewhat functioning human again. Over the next few months, things got better in a two steps forwards, one step back pattern. The inevitable benchmarks would pass by, serving as an occasional reminder of what had transpired. Birthdays, holidays and of course the dreaded would've been anniversary.
Why blog about it now and not at the time? Because I've finally gotten to a place where I can write about it without falling apart. I can attempt to look at things from hopefully a more objective eye. Also this is not only a place to reflect and analyze the past, but also to write about my life in the present as it is a work in progress.
So why Faster, Stronger, Smarter? After some self reflection, I felt like it was time to work on myself. Being on a defined path, you get stuck in a rut. I realized that I had become complacent. I wanted to grow and improve, in all areas in my life, and especially in the ones that had been neglected for so long. Just to become better, out of that grew what has become my mantra, Faster, Stronger, Smarter.
This blog is part of that process. Glad you're along for the ride!
good post my friend
