Recently I think of all the negative changes that I have in my life, and this question is one of the more difficult to answer. Not necessarily that these choices are negative entirely, but that they have negative aspects and have involved loss. One of the most difficult things about those changes is the lack of hope based on past experience. Choices not to do something self-detrimental really don’t amount to positive changes in my mind. Neither do I esteem continuations of old habits as a change; however, I overcame my fear and feelings of inadequacy to start a blog, and way more people have begun reading what I have to say then I ever expected. I never really thought of myself as interesting enough or worth while of having people pay attention to me. I started just writing on a place and putting myself out there, but after a lifetime worth of rejection and criticism it’s crazy to think that anyone would enjoy my writing. I am constantly plagued by feelings of inadequacy in everything that I do, but being forced into this change by a course that I took despite the restrictions that my ex-wife tried to impose upon me have made things very different. It’s not easy to keep up with a blog especially since I can’t seem to stay ahead of the deadlines due to other obligations of family, but it has been a positive experience so far. I wish that my life could have gone differently, but it has brought me to the point where I am. It doesn’t have to turn out for me entirely great; however, now there might maybe have some benefit to others around me. If it had not been for the same person that tried to take me out of writing and finishing my degree I would never have pursued writing in the first place. My life hasn’t been simple or easy, but it has so far been made better for others, and I hope to build something worthwhile for people around me. Afterall, I really don’t have much hope for my own life right now; however, if we can realize the benefits of trusting God and the gifts that he gave us we would all be happier.
