I've been very inactive here lately, and I want to change that.  I have some exciting things to announce, but first I want to talk a bit about where I've been, where I am now, and where I'm going.
So much has changed in the past year that I barely feel like the same person anymore.  I'm not going to go into great detail about my personal problems, but I was miserable.  I hated where I was in life, and every attempt to fix it was getting me nowhere except right back where I started.  And then, one night, something snapped.  I decided that from that point on, I would take responsibility for myself and my own happiness,
