Since my last post here.
Feels like an eternity, to be honest.
Lots of stuff have been happening since then.
I started working on a new project.
I finally got a job, after God knows how many years.
Yay!
I do web development now.
Back to programming, I guess.
It’s not that bad, to be honest.
I get to make my own schedule.
And, to my surprise, I’m learning new things about web technologies.
I’m growing.
And it feels good to see my own progress.
I love seeing progress in every area of my life.
Even in Path of Exile.
I got a work laptop that’s way better than my personal one.
But using it feels different. Different energy, I guess.
I just realized I haven’t been writing an article ever since I started working on this project.
Or ever since school started. The dates coincided.
Weird. Truth be told, my internal energy has shifted since then.
Before, I was in a more laissez-faire energy.
Now? I’m more the let’s get things done kind of guy.
I’m more edgy. Less permissive. Less loose.
All in all, earning my own money again gives me a certain attitude.
I’m doing programming again.
Yes, you’ve read that right.
But this time, it’s web development.
Something I’ve barely explored before.
I began as a desktop type of programmer.
C++ was my go-to language, followed closely by C#.
Now I’ve dumped C++ altogether and stuck with C#.
I’m even doing a MASS_YAML app on the side (in C#), for my own pleasure.
I’m also learning Laravel and everything that comes with it – PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS.
I’m learning Web technologies.
But I did miss publishing on this site.
That feeling of warmth and kindness when I write from the heart.
Messy, unscripted, unedited.
Writing about things that are interesting to me.
Truth be told, it’s been a rough patch since September.
Health wise, especially.
I lost weight in an inexplicable manner and had to get myself checked.
Life over 40 seems to have its own set of rules health-wise.
You’ve got to take better care of your body after 40, it seems.
I’ve also been playing lots of Path Of Exile, though.
Madam Dragon has had her share of health challenges, as well.
We’ve been on an edge, both of us, with all those health issues popping up for both of us.
But we’re trying to stay optimistic.
A healthy state of mind contributes to the overall wellbeing.
You get to be more grateful after 40, for all that is (still) working properly.
I’ve been more focused on this new project and I’ve been doing less on the stuff that is soul-centered for me.
But I’m making room for what feeds my soul as well.
Learning music theory. Reading books about how we all are addicted to dopamine.
Listening to music. Classical music, especially.
Oh, I’ve been doing Morning Pages since August.
It’s a practice I’ve picked up from the book The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron.
One good thing is that I can afford all the stuff that I want now.
It’s what earning money does.
I’ve missed that.
Go figure.
