Nervous
The other day I got a message on Facebook. This was a huge shock to me since I did not realize my Facebook account was still active. But alas, it is.
It was from someone I did not know who wrote a real nice letter to tell me that someone I knew passed away recently.
His name was Sean Anderson. Before I was known as an artist or sports card guy or published author or Twitter asshole, I was a weight loss blogger. I had a blog where I talked about my life being over 400 pounds and life after losing weight along with the struggles of going back and forth. It was pretty popular and enjoyable as well. I do like talking about my experiences.
Sean also had a blog. And boy, could he write. He was a radio host who was once over 500 pounds and lost over 300 pounds. He wrote a book which changed the way I looked at writing. And this guy from Oklahoma was one of the nicest people on this planet.
I lost track of him over the years. I am kind of like that. I am really bad with keeping track of those I care about. But I always respected and cared about Sean. So this news hit me hard. Especially since he was only 51.
I have been in a bad place lately. I really do not know why. I am in a much better place than I have been in the last two years. Everyone in my house is healthy. Both kids got straight A’s on their report cards. And even I have been getting healthier.
But when I heard the news about Sean, I got nervous. Of course I have huge sadness for his family and I am broken this world lost an amazing person. But I also looked at myself.
Am I doing everything in life I want?
The answer is no.
For the last couple of years I have had to rely on selling art and cards to you amazing people. And without it, I would not have survived. But I also stopped writing. Writing is my main passion.
And I want to get back into that.
So I am going to get back to it. More here. I am still going to ask you to subscribe or get a paid subscription or buy me a coffee to help support my dream, but even if not, I am going to keep going.
I am going to write about a lot of different topics. Not just weight loss or myself, but long form of my opinion. I would rather write 800 words about George Santos rather than just easily calling him a fuckface on Twitter. I would rather tell you why Lauren Boebert is garbage instead of telling her directly. I want to get back to what I have wanted to do for years.
And I am.
So sit back and enjoy the ride. Tomorrow I have a fun post coming up and if I am not posting on social media sites as much, understand why.
Thanks for being here.
