It's coming up on a year since moving to Arizona, and I've gotta say, it's been one of the best decisions of my life; I feel happier, healthier, and more grounded than at any time in my life. I don't think that's the location so much as finally having made a decision on my own - that is: I made a choice to do something that I've been wanting to do for a long time.

It's paid off well, I feel like I've found "my people" - those who have similar interests, activity levels, and values as my own (with enough variation to keep it interesting/engaging). I've been working hard to overcome some confidence issues and get better at everything I do, and it helps having supportive friends that are willing to provide feedback and guidance as well as many more opportunities to meet people and explore what I really want to do with my life.

I've been working as an engineer again, and it's tolerable, but it's not something I want to do for the rest of my life - right now the main reasons I'm holding the job are: a) to to pay my debt down (there's still a lot that needs to be paid off, the faster the better!), b) it's interesting because it's in the space industry, and c) I'm a bit scared of uncertainty, especially when combined with the first point.

With the debt paid down, I'll be able to afford more investments and a plot of land for myself, but until then, I'm effectively forced to work.

In the meantime, I'm working on building a handyman business and maybe selling 3D printed trinkets as well.

Life is an adventure, no doubt about that!
