It's been a minute

Hey guys, it's been a minute since I been here. Thought I'd check in a tell ya what's up.

It's been a real rough summer for me. I lost my uncle on Memorial Day suddenly and unexpected, it absolutely crushed me. I've never been so broken in my life. Things got started to get better for a couple of weeks but then I lost my job, and still haven't found a replacement. About a week after that, I lost my childhood best friend to an accidental drug overdose, but I think many of us knew better. I've been emotionally drug through the mud and had a mental breakdown where I left my house and just shacked up in my car for a while. Bills are behind because my roomies decide to not pay anything until something is shut off and we gotta pay extra to turn it back on. Which in turn, drained my bank account to nothing.

Slowly but surely I've started to climb back up. I've got great friends and supporting cast. The gym is still my heart and soul. I've even started a GoFundMe in order to raise funds to open my own gym, hopefully. https://www.gofundme.com/jamfitness In case you wanna see how it's doing.

I'm hoping to get back here and be more active soon, but job searching is a priority. I've got a girl that's pretty amazing but she is moving back to Wisconsin to be with her family and I just can't leave mine. Not yet anyways. You guys are the second family, don't ever forget that.

Thanks you for your time.

Hey buddy, very sorry about your uncle and your friend. I lost my best friend to a speedball overdose about ten years ago a few months after losing my favorite uncle, so I can relate to your experience a lot. Things will get better and you'll get back on your feet soon enough. Nice to hear from you and at least you're still ripped. :cheers

Are you still watching wrestling at all?

Sorry for your losses, mate. Sounds like you've been through hell recently, but it's good to see that you're getting back up on your feet again. You'll know from being a gym junkie that you can go through strain and come out the other side stronger than ever.

Good to have you back.
