Staring Down the Barrel of 30

Hey guys, if you're here... You want to hear what is in my head. I'm not going to introduce who I am, you very likely already know this, and if you don't... I'm not hard to find. Let's just dig into my head!

It is nearing 2 AM on Sunday, January 4th, 2015. That's right, a new year is underway. 2014 was by far one of my most successful years across the board. My YT channel did well, our server did some amazing stuff, my Twitch took OFF, and by far I received an unbelievable amount of support for my work in Minecraft. When I say support I just don't mean a financial level, the messages I received over 2014 really helped me get to a new level of being. My depression is by far more in check than it ever has been. My girlfriend is still insanely supportive and loving, you have no idea how lucky I am to have her in my life! So... Where do I go from here?

Well, I've already announced my plans to stop LP'ing Minecraft on YT. And that has already had an impact on my emotional state, almost immediately. I plan to try and become a daily streamer, this is going to be VERY challenging to pull off, but I'm going to give it my all! Now, those goals are great for the internet... But real life has been neglected and it is time to fix that. I now also have a set date night every Saturday, a night to unplug and be human! And really there is one VERY serious issue at hand here and is really why I am pounding away on the keyboard when I should be utilizing the back of my eyelids right now... And that is my health.

This is my official decree, that as I am rushing towards 30 by the end of the month, I am in the worst shape of my life. That ends now. If I have to cut streaming/gaming/football/drinking WHATEVER it takes, that ENDS right NOW. I am so tired of feeling tired, and I am able to fix it, so I will. Starting tomorrow I will begin developing the routine I need to get the blood flowing again. No more being a lump on a log. I love the internet, the games, the people, but I need to love myself more now. I want to live a long life with my girlfriend, and that is a priority above much else to me! So, tonight I will rest, preparing to unleash a beast tomorrow onto the world. It is time to get it, it is time to win, it is time to succeed, it is MY TIME AND I WILL NOT BACK OFF. Anything in my way will be ran down by the train, stay off my tracks.

Jan 5th, 2015.... It begins for the final time, the big race is on!
