Piercing the shell

I think that it was quite appropriate that the last post was number 42.

I will once again apologize for the lack of updates, but I am hoping that this will soon change, and the reasons should soon become more obvious. You see, I think these last couple of month I've been inside a cocoon, very much preparing my metamorphosis not unlike a butterfly. I did a lot of maturing, a ton of thinking and - I would like to believe - achieved a lot of self-confidence. But not the important type: the one you gain by actually reaching your goal. "Testing your strength", as my mentor put it.

So finally, these last few days the puzzle pieces have been falling from the sky, and much like a self-playing Tetris game, landed in beautifully architected places by chance. I see a path forming, and a whole new enterprise revealed itself in the form of a card game a friend wants me to develop for him. I could hardly be more excited. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. I believe the legacy I left at my current (soon to be "previous") job will also allow the new generation to evolve. I need to talk to my successor today, and my hopes are high.

So now that I feel ready to leave my cocoon, there is a good chance you will all be hearing a lot more from me. So I grab my drill and reach for the top, preparing to kick reason to the curb and pierce the Heavens!

(Yes, I just finished watching Gurren Lagann yesterday. Yes, it was awesome. Yes, I feel even more inspired by that)

I don't think the current state of change is about to end, either. I still feel a ton of turmoil ahead of me. But, I think, for the first time in my life... I welcome it. I see the potential for growth, not the whispers of despair. So now I will steel my conviction and believe in myself - and show the future who is in charge!
