Finding myself


Its been a while since I last wrote anything on this blog, actually its been quite some time since I wrote anything at all except for the small daily entries in my journal or work related things. Recently I have felt that familiar tug demanding that I create something substantial with my words. Before I delve into hermit mode and crank out some prose, I thought it would be a grand idea to work on this blog a bit and to provide an update on myself. Some pretty big things have happened since I last posted anything on this blog:

  • I applied to medical school and all of the schools I applied to requested secondary applications, unfortunately due to things going on in my personal life I had to post-pone my medical school endeavors. 
  • I moved to Portland, OR, which has proved to be one of the better decisions I've made in recent years.
  • I ended a four year relationship that had become toxic.
  • I am adjusting to living alone again and realizing how much I've missed having so much privacy. 
  • I am reading voraciously as I have not in years and it is marvelous. 
  • I started training for a half-marathon but unfortunately am currently on running hiatus due to stress fractures in my lower legs. 
  • I am working on finding out who I am outside of a relationship that for the past few years had come to define me in a way that I abhor. 
Although the past several months have been challenging and I do wish on some level that I had done things differently in the past; if I could do it all over again I would not change it because I have grown so much as a person and I believe that I am a better person today for that experience.
