I am a husband, father, avid dopamine junky and deeply interested in relationships. I've taken up a recent love of the gym and fitness (not a body builder but the program ligns up with that categorically I guess). My other hobbies include getting outdoors for camping/fishing, video games and cooking!
I connect most easily through laughter. Really any topic is safe and even fewer others are sacred lol. I see laughter as evidence of a good environment where people feel safe and open to be who they are.
What suprised me this year was a MOMUMENTAL shift in my mental state. In one year, I have been almost as depressed as I have ever been (to risky levels), all the way to feeling the most exquisite peace and the most powerful I have ever been.
Too much to cover in an intro, so ask me about it if you're interested, I love talking about it lol.
But the suprise really was I found out I needed to learn who my Core Self was. And through therapy and amazing relationships I figured that out really fast (in hindsight). Still getting to know myself.
I'm cheating but one other suprise. I didn't think learning to communicate and hold to boundaries would lead to the outcomes it had. All good outcomes, even if they aren't preferred...
So life is now firing on almost all cylindars and I find it more difficult to be unhappy than I ever have.
