40th
Celebrating my 40th birthday today. Man am I old.
My mental health has gotten better over the last few years. I own a house now, something that 30 year old me thought might never happen. I had a minimally successful podcast for a while, but struggled to keep up with it. Rekindled my love of woodworking and built a shop, and made some pretty impressive pieces in it.
There have been low points. I thought about jumping off a bridge. Even took that walk. It was a long way down. But I couldn't imagine leaving Elliot alone.
I built a deck. Mostly by myself. I am super proud of that. Literally put equity into my home with that.
I'm in a good place. I have good friends, and an amazing girlfriend.
It does get better, if you work at it; if you get the help.
