More than a year on since my last post, life got quite insane and I forgot I had this outlet, until of late. I've been feeling desperate to write, to release my thoughts onto a medium that isn't imposing, so here's a quick catch up of whats been happening...
India is far behind me, so with it my professional and personal interests that led me away from the land down under for almost a year. Honestly speaking though, being back feels just as alien as it first felt going to India. I really don't know where I fit in right now, especially since falling out of my longest relationship to date.
Since the start of the year, I founded a new company, and put a team together to develop a few products, driven by my experience and ideas that have been percolating in my head over the last 3 years. We signed our first client a few weeks ago.
Last week, I shared our company vision with a government grants program, the first stage was very promising, and really it validated our company and the products we were working on.
Sometimes though, taking stock isn't enough, and you just want answers as to why you are where you are. Whether you're where you should be, geographically and life in general.
A long time ago, I chose a path that led me away from my peers and all things familiar. It's been a battle every day since then, with life and with myself. The natural human instinct at most times is to conform and fit in, I would say I've been quite the outsider for most of mine, a nomad.
Despite this, I'd choose the same path again, if given the choice. I'd choose it much, much sooner too. Though it's a lonely road, I think it's probably a lot more lonelier to be a part of a crowd and not really know who you are without them.
I know who I am and what I want, I do what make me happy everyday, and I make a difference.
Sure, I maybe feeling a bit lost right now, but hey, if you were just spat out of a storm of loss, failure and disappointment (which pretty much describes 2014), I'm sure most of you would be too.
Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment, but if life isn't a battle, you simply aren't alive.

Glad to see you writing again. Congratulations on your first client!
