I am in the midst of a transition in the story of my life. I recently left my job as an associate in a small law office where I practiced criminal defense. Due to unhappiness and stress, which far outweighed the work’s satisfaction and the pay, I bailed. 

Also, for the first time in a long time, I am in a relationship with a woman I adore. She is intelligent and pretty and fun and, overall, the best person (aside from my immediate family) I’ve ever known. 

I do not know what my future holds. I am actively seeking work but have no clue where I’ll end up. I am confident of one thing: I’ll land on my feet in a better place than when I took the leap of faith and walked away from my job in criminal defense. 

I am not sure of what the future holds for my lady and me. She is my best friend, and I hope to spend the rest of my life with her. I am hopelessly hopeful. But I am ever mindful that life, especially mine, does not always proceed according to the plan. Suffering a traumatic brain injury taught me that lesson.
