Well you know, I have found sometimes that we need time to ourselves in order to fully understand how we need to grow.

I do software development, but its a work at home situation. So i have been just by myself for the last week, and its driving me crazy. All i do is think about why she would do that. I've had time to myself but its not getting any better.

I have always tried to think of things in a positive way. This way even when something really bad happens, it doesn't seem so bad as to overwhelm us from recovering.

I'm actually trying to get into the Software Development field, how do you like it? Well, there is plenty of opportunity out there. Not too mention, being in that profession, you probably aren't hurting for money.

It's ok. pays the bills. But my job is pretty independent. so i don't even get to meet new people. I am usually home, while she was always out of the house during the day.

I do know how a programming job can take away from some social aspects of your life, maybe try and go to a bar, or somewhere social to get out some. No problem, I hope I have helped you some. Happy Holidays!
