My Life sucks but I won’t let it get me down
So I’m 35, lost my job back in June because my previous company wanted their team centralized in London and I was the only person in Atlanta. Not many opportunities in my field here, especially right now, and my severance / savings are drying up. Think I need to switch industries to land a job, but not sure if it will help stabilize my life or destabilize it even more.
Been single for 7 years now, no prospects in the future and haven’t had sex in 5 years now. While I go on dates, haven’t felt any type of connection with any of them, and just feel like I’m looking for something others in my generation aren’t anymore. Never been one looking to just get laid, but it would be nice. Ideally Would love to find my partner in life, but really doesn’t seem like it’s in the card.
On the bright side, was really overweight 3 years ago, topping at 275, and have cut down to 230 and completed my 2nd triathlon now. Have a solid diet, balancing enjoyment with a caloric deficit, allowing me to actually enjoy my weight loss / fitness journey. It’s slow progress but looking to do my first half-Ironman and hitting my goal of 215 by early next year.
Have no idea what the future holds for me. With everything going on in the world, I’m finding it really hard to be optimistic. But for now, just gonna keep doing what I can to continue building a life I’m happy with. Might not be the life I imagined I would have by now, or what my friends around me have, but just gonna focus on being the best version of myself and hopefully life with turn a corner.
Not expecting much from this post, just wanted it out there in the world. Thanks for reading if you got this far.
