It took me a long time to figure out what I wrote above, I've been trying to reinvent myself since the new year, so that's what I figured out after I took some effort trying to understand myself again.

Took it easy for some time, cause I didn't take any real time off from 2003 till the start of 2010, while studying college, holding full time jobs, so I usually had a program for 12 - 16 hours a day, add a job related burn out, family tragedy and I've ended up as a nervous wreck with damaged health for the most of 2009.

Needless to mention it definitely was a mistake on my end, unclear priorities, unclear goals, not listening to the gut instinct, too much showing off of the "strong will" and "extreme loyalty" etc. Like speeding a car in bad direction till you ran out of gas.

But I guess I'm getting somewhere

So far I've:

- fixed my body
- fixed my spending - never in my life did I borrow money till two years ago, it broke through at the point when I obviously started curing my depression with extreme spending, now I am regularly hitting my savings goal every month again, as if it would be the most natural thing
- fixing my social life - reviving old ties and making new ones

What's next is to reach a sufficient level of recurring income, that will enable me to move another step forward after I finish college next year.

Have at least 9 things on paper that should have been online already, I guess I have to "manipulate my mind" or rather kick my ass some more and stop babbling
