There will always be things to be done. There will always be the litany of chores—the hall needs a vacuum, washing to be hung, and the kitchen floor is sticky with who knows what. In half an hour I will start the endless round of dinner, feeding, dishes… but for right now, I write. This is my gift to myself, to my inner writer, to the child writer I once was, to recovery.

God made us though, and we’re definitely not ‘shells’ that are completely empty of all desire and intention. I believe that while creating us, he also wrote plans, desires, wonder, and love into our DNA. People know what they want to do, deep down, even if they are unable to admit it to themselves. For me, I want to write and create. I love making art. I love connecting with and to people and ideas. I love change and different ideas and growth.

It’s a nice realization to have made. For almost a decade, I didn’t want to be where I was but I had nowhere to go, no way even to decide where to go so I rented rooms and wandered, both on foot and in the car. I thought that’s what I wanted — a nomadic life — and I suppose, at the time, it’s what I needed.

I want to work with people who are quick to learn, have their eye on the ball and don’t make silly excuses.

Someday I want to teach in a school where kids are excited to be there. I want to teach in a system where students feel their lives have meaning. I want to be working in a place where the students find their day fulfilling, no matter what they will go home to. So, today I cried because my job is hard. And I cried for the kids I teach and the day I will have tomorrow.

I asked God that before I die can I please experience true love. Two years of birthday wishes later I met someone. That day I left my house headed to Lowes and at the last second decided to go in the opposite direction to Home Depot. You can’t tell me that God didn’t send me there. When he asked for my number I almost did not give it to him out of fear. I had not given my number out in years. I’m glad I did he’s different than any other guy I’ve ever dated. He shows up for me in ways that I dreamed of. It’s been over a year now and things are going well. I get to show up as my authentic self and don’t have to try hard to please him. I’ll admit that even though I’m happy here I’ve had times where my self destructing thoughts tried to creep in. Block, block, block, I’m staying hopeful this time around.

I said YES, because training and eating clean made me who I am, BUT from my 26 years old I wanted MORE than being a well trained machine, a sculpted body. I wanted to travel, meet people, have a broader view of options for my future and career. Because I know in the future I might regret it. And those things dont come knocking at your door, not even at the gym’s one lol. So now I’m working on keeping my “dark side” under control, not feeling miserable if I’m not doing 6 cardio a week but 4-5, or if I’m traveling and training won’t be perfect, or if for a night or two I won’t be sleeping, because I will gain something else: memories, life experiences, interesting conversations and meetings, friendship. And I will still be my personal best, just more “complete”.

Of course, I’ll always be alone. I’ll always live alone. I’ll never marry. I’ve never have kids. I’ll never have a friend. I’ll hardly ever see my family. I’m fine with that. I knew that would be my future ten years ago. It’s not sad if it’s all you’ve ever known. You find happiness elsewhere in life. You make your own joy. For me, the only thing of any worth in that burning building would be myself. My life. The joy I find within it is worth fighting for because in such a dark world, those moments of joy are priceless.

I admit that when my kids were in school, and even when I taught school, I really didn’t pay a lick of attention to what curriculum they/we used. I honestly didn’t care because I knew I would make do with what I was given and add to it if necessary. However, according to blogs, Facebook message boards and the YouTubes, curriculum is an exciting, even controversial topic among homeschoolers. Who knew? When there aren’t any powers-that-be handing you your books or sending you to teacher trainings, you can choose whatever you want — Free? Paid for? Common Core? Traditional? Freestyle? Religious? Secular? Direct instruction? Independent learning? Student directed? Teacher directed? Online? Book only? No textbooks? No curriculum at all? There are a LOT of choices … a lot of products … and even more opinions.

I’m a man with unpopular opinions. I don’t choose to believe the things I believe because they are unpopular. I feel like I’ve arrived at these opinions because I am willing to explore uncomfortable truths. Or at least uncomfortable for the majority of people I interact with.
