Apologies for the lack of updates this year. My life has decided to be all sorts of strange.
First and foremost, I'm in the middle of a divorce. The lesson learned from all of this? If you're a gay man, don't marry a woman. It saves everyone a shit ton of trouble in the end.
I'm moving out of Idaho altogether in a little less than a week. We recently put my granddad in a retirement home, and my aunt and mum have offered me his house for as long as I need it, provided I'm working on my thesis (with plans to graduate in December) and visit him once a week.
A lot of shit is changing, and while I was terrified of all of it a few weeks ago, now I'm just excited to get out of here and start over. Not a lot of people get a chance like this, so I'm going to grab the proverbial bull by the horns and take a chance on myself. If I fail, it's all on me. I won't be able to blame it on anything or anyone else. It's my chance to get my feet back under me, dust myself off, and punch the world in the face.
Here's hoping the next year is better than the last five.
DFTBA, my lovely readers. Thanks for sticking with me.
