progress

it's so hard to observe the progress you're making as your days go by.

i often find myself feeling stuck, like i keep on working but nothing ever changes. but looking back, the facts indicate that i've been working very hard with ample reward over the last couple of years.

five years ago, i didn't have a high school diploma. now i have a college diploma, a job i like (i think, i just started), a wife that i adore, an apartment of my own, and five cats and a dog that i love.

my life still isn't perfect, obviously. but i'm making progress so quickly. i'm on medication that makes my mental health tolerable. my career is progressing. everything seems to be going in the right direction.

i don't exactly know what the point of this post is but i feel like if this is truly a "web log" of my life, it would be a mistake not to acknowledge my progress at this time. i want to be able to look back at this and remind myself that this has been a good five years. not perfect, but a success for sure. i feel like it's time for me to acknowledge that success.

anyways. thanks for reading my self-obsessed rambling (:
