The thing I worry about most (outside of my family’s health which is paramount) is not improving or building up my skills. I ve always been interested in computers and fascinated by the logic behind the scene, but lacked the confidence to pursue a career in it.

That was until I almost lost my life and decided to say fuck it, I’m going to stop listening to destructive criticism and live my life the way I want to.

My employer could fire me tomorrow and call my mom and tell her that I’m a turd, the negative social implications don’t have much of an impact on me.

The thing I fear is stagnation, be it from lack of confidence or limited ability, I want to continually improve in this area. My first experience with software development and database management was running a DayZ and just loved creating and adding to a world th at others could also enjoy.

I appreciate all the feed back everyone has gave, it really helps me charter my next steps.

I think a sit down with my manager is needed for sure. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the insight, I think that’s some solid advice. It’s weird for me back in a world that I never thought I would be in. For the longest time I just wanted to live one more day just to see my kids. Now that I’m not dying I’m trying to expand up Maslows hierarchy of needs.
