About me and my blog.

Well, you may know me already, but if not here goes nothing.

I have been on a break from blogging for a couple months after ending my last blog (found here).  In short it was my journey in finding myself and choosing a path as a gay Mormon. This is now a blog for me to share my craziness with the world who may be bored enough to read it. The focus will be more on being a gay man hunting down happiness in all aspects of life rather than on my struggle with being LDS and Gay. I am past that worry and really want to move on to the rest of my life.

About me. I am currently 26, work with people with disabilities in live in the Great State of Utah. Much of my adult life I have worked anywhere from 70 - 90 hours a week and just recently started a 40 hour a week job which has been very empowering. I have started doing the things I love again. I now can cook, go hiking, camping, travel, see movies, and spend time with friends.

One of my greatest passions is the work of Challenge Day. They do workshops for kids all around the country with the goal of helping kids to feel safe and loved. I can witness that their program works and has a lifelong impact on my life. One of the big things I am trying to do is become more involved in their work.

I also love people with Autism and their families. I work with the Autism Council of Utah and other organizations to support these individuals and families. Working with this cause has brought balance and stability into my life and I feel honored to be welcomed into such a loving group.

So what's with my blog title? Well, it is a song from Third Eye Blind.  Sometimes I wonder if the paths I have chosen will lead me to a life which is full of people but lacks true connection that love and family can offer.  These thoughts have weighed the most heavy on me as of late so I thought it would be a good title because many days I do feel like I am serving my time in exile.
