Changes

It's funny how life can change drastically in a very short period of time. When I met Jason, I was changing jobs, working 80 hours a week. I lived at home.
Around that same time, I met my best friend, Shaun. (who had been a friend for a long time prior to that through a group we both frequented that was dedicated to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy--it was only through a series of insane events that led to us meeting in person and becoming the friends we are today)
I was losing weight--drastically. I had gone through a difficult stage in my life, and managed to gain alot of weight. By the time I finally met Jason, I was back to my old self.
I was taking tai chi, yoga..etc.. I eventually got my GED after putting it off for far too long. I got my drivers license, a vehicle, and suddenly I found myself with a boyfriend and more importantly-- FREEDOM.
I moved out after almost a year of dating to live with Jason. We were always broke, but it was good.
And then my brother decided he was tired of taking on all the responsibility, and he decided to join the army. In retrospect, it was the best decision he could have made for himself. He met his soon-to-be wife, and now they live in Germany with a beautiful son.
Jason was never very keen on my family, but he decided he'd rather live with my mother and myself than to be alone, so we moved into my brother's house. We basically assumed all his responsibilities.
That was 3 years ago. The strain on the relationship was apparently more than he could take, as was demonstrated this week. We've had problems on and off for more than a year now. I started gaining more weight. I tried the gym, but I hated it. I was overwhelmed, tired, etc...
I was eating unhealthy, I didn't do the things I love-- hiking, swimming, yoga. I slipped into a stage of suspended animation.
In February, I found aikido. I also started eating healthier--I went back to being a vegetarian. I found myself once again feeling good about myself.
I feel like I'm right back to where I started. I'm in shape, I've found something I love to do. I'm also broke. Hehe But I think it's going to be okay. I have no idea what direction my life is heading towards, but I think it can only get better.

It's not so bad to end up healthy and doing something you like. People go a long time and never find either one of those.
