Today is really tough.
It's my 40th birthday today.
I woke up and cried for a few hours. It's a lonesome feeling.
By now, I thought I'd have a wife and children. Five years ago, I walked away from a woman I loved dearly.
I thought I'd have a stable career with a decent paycheck. Five years ago, I left the Postal Service.
I thought I’d have more friends. My old buddies have faded away over the past five years, and I haven’t made many new ones since.
But I never thought I’d be where I am now. Despite everything, I’m about to earn my Associate’s Degree, and soon, I’ll be heading to a university. And I have a couple really good friends. That’s something.
Right now, I’m watching Sean Astin in the 1995 adaptation of Harrison Bergeron and smoking up.
Just another Saturday.
