As a lot of you know, I used to have pretty severe struggles with depression in high school. I had a great deal of trauma and neglect in my life growing up, but I have had a great last three years. It's a blessing to live life each day. Recently, I returned from almost a year in Asia. It's very cheap to stay there, my monthly rent ranged 150-400$ a month at the condos I was staying at. Pretty cool places, I never expected to have a water park in my back yard. :-) This year I hope to make better quality videos for my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWVVCXr9cEXBkmACM7dZHiQ In other news, I finally hit my weight loss goal of 180 pounds. It's crazy to think that just a couple years ago I was almost 400 pounds. Anyways, my tutoring service has been going pretty steady, and I have been having some good luck offering security audits for companies. Life is pretty good. Really hope I don't fuck everything up, but there's always a very real possibility when being self employed that everything could implode.
In my 2014 post on depression, I mentioned that there was no cure for depression. Looking back, I now seriously believe my experiences with LSD a couple years later was the turning point in my life. In the coming year, I hope I can become an advocate for depressed people to try LSD. It's nonaddictive, non-toxic (google just how safe the stuff is,) and as of this year officially decriminalized in small quantities in my state of Oregon.
I think I am going to try to get better at hosting parties. See you later guys, have a bright 2018.
