Investing?!

Posted on July 30, 2022 by jwalters

For years I’ve tried to get interested in investing money, the stock market, etc but I just haven’t been able to keep my brain on track. That’s changed recently and now I get very excited at the possibilities in front of me. I met with a financial advisor this week and laid out my ideal…

The Plan

Posted on July 16, 2022 by jwalters

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want to do in the next several years and I know I don’t want to be stationary anymore and I don’t want to live in a place that has miserably hot summers as I do now. I’m not currently in a position where I can leave for…

Building A Community

Posted on June 25, 2022 by jwalters

I’m writing this at almost 10 pm on a Saturday night so this is going to be a stream-of-consciousness post that may or may not make sense. I can’t sleep and I’ve been restless and distracted for a few days. I’ve been thinking about how to find my spot in the world and I follow…

Alaska Is Calling

Posted on June 18, 2022 by jwalters

For the last decade or so I’ve wanted to go to Alaska. My dad was stationed there when he was in the Air Force and talked about it all the time. I’d always wanted to see it but it wasn’t that high on my list. That changed when I saw the PBS documentary about Dick…

Being An Adult Means: You Have A Favorite Shoe

Posted on June 12, 2022June 12, 2022 by jwalters

I’m starting a new series here on the blog about what being an adult means. In my case, it means you buy a pair of shoes for a specific purpose (hiking) and then find out they’re being discontinued so you buy 2 more pairs. I don’t make the rules! 🤷‍♂️

New Jeep

Posted on June 5, 2022 by jwalters

A couple of months ago I bought a new (to me) Jeep Wrangler! It’s a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and it’s perfect!! It’s not my first Jeep Wrangler but it is my first 4 door Wrangler, first automatic, and the first one with a hardtop. Trying to put into words how much joy this thing…

My Bubble

Posted on May 15, 2022 by jwalters

My Bubble is about 36 miles. That’s the limit of my travel. Before I was 20 I’d lived in a different country, lived in 3 different states, and was (mostly) an adventurous person. I played paintball regularly with my friends, I hung out with my friends almost every night and had friends. As I got…

Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness

Posted on April 27, 2022April 26, 2022 by jwalters

Yea, I know that’s not the proper spelling for the Smashing Pumpkins album, and that’s on purpose. For the last few months or so, I’ve been extremely depressed. It’s one of the worst bouts of depression I’ve dealt with in recent memory. Well, since 2017-ish anyway. Unlike my last terrible bout, I have been able…

Quote: Seneca – On Anxiety

Posted on February 23, 2022 by jwalters

“There are more things, Lucilius, likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” ― Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

How I’m Using ToDo Lists

Posted on February 20, 2022January 30, 2022 by jwalters

I’ve never been good at keeping things in my head. I’ve also never been good at following up on things I write down on a to-do list. It’s quite the hassle if I’m being honest. Towards the end of 2021, I started using my iPhone’s to-do list app and just dumped everything I do, or…
