Yes, the blog of Justin Pitts' still does exist! After a 6-month hiatus, I am going to try my hand at this again. I have no good excuse, there has been plenty of time to write and jot things down, but you know how it goes...Also, I think I wear my "emotions" on my sleeve a lot of times and have been thinking about keeping my personal life to myself, but I like to talk and tell to much. So, for those interested, here we go again.
The last 6-months have been a crazy crazy time in my life. It has actually been the craziest-for lack of a better term-year of my life. So many life-changing things have taken place it is hard to believe. I quit my dream job, I moved back to Greenville, I slept on a couch for 5 months, I went jobless for 3 months, I lost two grandparents, and separated from my girlfriend; and a lot in between those big events.
Life is hard to make sense of most of the time I think. In fact, I had a conversation today with a man named PJ who works at The Great Escape Bike Shop about this very thing. We started to touch on religion and I shared with him that I was glad there was more to life than just this earth. What if this was all there was. You attempt to achieve the "American Dream" and then you die-what a sad existence. Thank you Lord for showing us mercy and creating life eternal with you for those who choose it.
There has been a lot of positive things that have happened this year as well: I endured the couch and now have an apartment with a long-time friend, I made it through the job hunt and how have the cool opportunity to be the manager at Hibbett Sports in Central, SC; and there is some other cool stuff going on as well.
The last year was scripted different than I could ever imagine but everything happens for a reason. Sometime you know it, and other times you don't.
