I was listening to a podcast the other day talking about the process of leveling up your life. Real AF is the podcast in question. The host noted two things, that the process of becoming the 2.0 version of yourself if you will leaves you in a middle ground as your old friends leave and new ones that will help you grow appear. the second is to attract the friends you want that will push you you first have to level up.

The concept is interesting as I just walked away from bookface and the group of people I used to spend my time with behind. For the most part there was little more than lip service support and a whole lot of bitching about how bad their lives were. Rather than wallow I’ve decided to move on and it has been great from a personal perspective. It it has been lonely. Very lonely.

I know it is part of a cycle I tend to go through, it’s happened a few times in the past where my friend’s group changed drastically. This is just another of those cycles, and for once one that I started myself rather than letting them fall off to the wayside. It will get better with time I’m sure and I do have my pup and soon too be wife by my side…. But I have to ponder why those I loved for so long don’t want to grow…

There are some things we will never understand, I guess this is one of them. For now though the time has come to push a little harder as I prep for 75 hard next month. Looking forward to the results of completing it this time. Oh and a civil union later this week…
