If you&#8217;re still with me and willing to learn why I&#8217;ve decided to attempt this for the thousandth time, feel free to continue. If you are looking for some new and exciting content, I&#8217;m going to try small and say that I&#8217;ll attempt something new each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does all of this mean then<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The past 2 years have been a rough obstacle course between unfortunate circumstances in my personal life, huge life changes, and meeting with esteemed individuals in the software development field (friends and family included). The above took a huge toll on me personally adding stress and causing some health issues to arise a little too early in my life. All this came to me coming to terms with me needing to reevaluate what it is that I need to do with my life. And it all started with me leaving my previous job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Come again? You did what?!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It had to be done. Yes that job is currently the only thing I know at the moment, but I can&#8217;t let that be the case. I&#8217;ve nearly worked myself to death constantly pushing myself and always worrying about how the last release went, or how the next day will come and go. I need a break from it and that lifestyle honestly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So what&#8217;s next in that case?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, at this very moment, I&#8217;m not entirely sure. I&#8217;m going to take a small break and recharge. Maybe go out on a drive, meet-up with some friends of old, or try my luck at programming again to see if I can find some joy in it like I used to. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to comment. Willing to give something new a try at this time. Until next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of you may be surprised to see a new posting on this site after a huge hiatus.
