I have so many little childish things I've always wanted to do growing up, but was simply unable to, that now I'm finally able to indulge in as an adult with his own money.
And thus why from recent years onwards, I myself am damn resilient to depression. I find it incredibly difficult now to be sad or depressed by anything anymore thanks to this, and a few other little quirks that I have that just somehow work.
Even funnier, I've also realized a few other things. Among them, looking back, me and my nephew, we're practically like the Simon (my nephew) and Kamina (Me) duo. Especially how he looks up to me these days as probably the most awesome uncle he's had (probably because I can most relate to him; especially in the games and doing crazy dumb things field, and how to have fun without depending on games either); alot of my wisdom, (game) combat experience and war stories, and so on, probably marks me down as the biggest badass he knows. Kinda wish I could do something like this for Halloween. A shame those kind of glasses are so hard to come by.
I guess recently, after much reflecting on my life, I think I have more control over it than anyone has thought possible for me. I mean, an employer that has essentially fired me from a past job is nowadays asking me for help (and am doing a good job on it so far), I backed up my word that I was headed in the right direction, and giving good news to my coworkers at my old jobs, and in regards to my family, I'm starting to smile more, and become less ashamed of my real personality being noticed (some background: I had depression so hard, I couldn't smile anymore, and was essentially an emotional gap. Couldn't relate with anyone; lasted a good decade). Essentially, I have so much control, I think I accidentally slingshot my life around the gravity well of a black hole. Considering where things turned around, I was about to cross the despair event horizon (alotta bad crap was going down), and not long afterward, I'm traveling at FTL speeds at an emotional and psychological level, and just about curb-stomping anything that was holding me down. The heavy chains of my past that were weighing me down are now my weapons.
As a kid, I never expected myself to say that adulthood rocks.
