Beyond the Cube: Intro

Happy New Year!

It's been a turbulent and lovely 2018.  We had our big wedding, we received tough news about both of our sets of grandparents, and things have been topsy-turvy.

I'm in a counseling degree program right now and I'm not sure if that's what I want to do for the rest of my life.  I love helping people, but would I be doing it at my own expense?  I'm not sure.

For now, I'm not sure what the future brings, but I want to be secure and happy.  Sure, I have a desk job and that's all fine and dandy, but just having a desk job is depressing.  It's time to put some effort into creating life beyond the cube.

I like all sorts of shit--dinosaurs, cooking, foraging, different languages, planning parties, drawing, etc.  

Blogging will be new too.  I don't want to overcomplicate writing, so I'm just slapping it out there, few revisions.  I'm sure writing will improve as time goes on.

This will be cool :)

This song, though beautiful, is a knife to the heart.   This song was played at the memorial service of my youngest brother, Alex.   You know, it’s so easy to get lost in your own mind when you’re triggered by an event in your past.   I went from being present in a boutique to standing in a cold church recreation room where the family gathered after Alex’s service.   I saw the white linoleum on the floors, the red eyes of the bereaved...
