A Year Down
It’s been almost a year since I started this journey! Since then I’ve accomplished much more then I ever thought possible. I’ve competed in 2 Powerlifting events (taking several 1st places) as well as setting new personal best in several lifts. I’m currently training for a BB competition which will occur in 5 weeks. I’ve come so far since doing this space and while it may not seem like I’ve been on here much in the past couple of months, I have not forgotten what got me started. I used to be a solo/isolated kinda guy but since taking that first step on this journey, I gained a training partner, and a very close friend! Without her assistance and her pushing me when I didn’t want to I probably wouldn’t be where I am now. I won’t say it’s always one sided as I push and encourage her just as hard and she is enroute to even greater things (more then I could ever accomplish) in the near future and I’m extremely proud of her and incredibly grateful for her friendship (despite the grief I get over it from home). We have a lot in common and it’s good to be able to talk to someone about stuff that most wouldn’t understand anything about. She has been my anchor and has been there to say the right things when they needed to be said. Between her and this site my life has been changed and I feel like I’m becoming more me then the shell of what everyone expected me to be. The two don’t always mesh well and I was losing me. I am forever grateful for having her enter my life, befriend me and helping me to be me. This place was the catalyst of it all and I’m going to be coming back on here to assist others work on their journey. Can’t say it will all be fun and at times the home life isn’t. But having friends and someone whom you care about and cares about you definitely makes the journey worth it. I can’t thank her enuff!!
