Where do I begin?
As the title says…at any rate 2012 is almost gone and it has been a year filled with both normalcy and insanity.
I rather like that.
I deleted my Facebook. Absolutely liberating that.
I dissolved the LLC I was partnered in, the short of the long – my partner never held up anything remotely resembling a fraction of a portion of a workload.
But out of that experience came my company. I’ve begun to build it ground up; bootstraps firmly held. Only gravity holds my feet on the ground these days it seems.
I’m learning several new programming languages concurrently…I wish I could say that it were easy to do so, but it’s real work.
I’ve thought rather intensely when I’ve got some free time about the major events of my life, many of which have been the kinds of things that can break people.
I tend to jump back and forth on the idea that things happen for a reason. If you asked me today I’d tell you that they do, and that they have built me into something that can take almost any hit right on the chin and grin through it.
Somedays I feel it more than others but I’m still looking up and that is pure encouragement.
I’m building worlds, some with words, some with pixels but I’m making dreams real, my own for the moment and hopefully someday I’ll be able to build it into something so big it can make other people’s dreams become real and tangible – to make those secret hopes they cling to in the deepest hidey-holes in their hearts become their lives.
I know that in person I can “come off” as arrogant, egotistical, hard, irreverent and sometimes (more than) a little crazy.
I am wild. I am unapologetic. I am the me I am because I was molded by time and experiences: in that I am just like you.
Underneath all of that still lives the little boy that looked up into the night sky and dreamt of setting foot on the planets that orbited those visible stars.
Well, failing that, the man that encapsulates that boy will do his best to bring those stars down here where we can all marvel at them.
