Hello to everyone who has supported me on this journey towards better mental health, spreading awareness, and fighting through life with depression, anxiety, and adhd. I just wanted to clear the air as to what I accomplished in 2019, and what I plan to accomplish in 2020 and where Propositivity stands.
2019 has been the best year of my life so far in terms of productivity, accomplishments, and self-betterment. I have found a partner that is both supportive and extremely kind towards me and it has helped me to believe in myself and achieve more than ever. She is the light of my life and my rock and I am so grateful for her.
For starters, in early 2019 I entered the most positive relationship of my life thus far. In May 2019, I began working at a company that both supported me and appreciated my individuality and work ethic. They have inspired me and have since hired me to a full-time position in October as a Senior Accounts Payable Accountant.
In late August, I closed on a multi-family home in Everett, worked to find tenants, and currently have a permanent residence and a secondary form of income through rent collection. This was a dream of mine since graduating from college and was something I saved aggressively for over the past few years. I must thank my parents for helping me understand the basics of homeownership, my girlfriend for supporting me in this endeavor, and my friends for helping me understand the home buying process.
Finally, in December, I decided to embark on a journey towards self-betterment and my ultimate aspirations to become a successful entrepreneur. I am in no way planning on leaving my current job, but I am planning to work and start-up online businesses, and expand my outreach via twitch, youtube, instagram, and facebook in order to learn and take advantage of today’s social media marketing pathways. I aim to do this in my free time and believe I can be successful now that I have some stability in my relationships, living situation, and income.
I am speaking towards all of this to say that these successes do not come without struggle. 2019, especially in late 2019, was extremely hard for me emotionally, mentally, and physically. I have felt alone at times, despite having loving arms all around me, and have felt depressed and anxious amidst overwhelming change. I am entering 2020 with new-found goals to focus my energies on bettering my mental health while also working towards these new aspirations.
With all this being understood, I am not sure how much time I will have to post on Propositivity and maintain consistent articles. I will never let this passion go and will never give up on my ultimate goal of spreading mental health awareness, but this platform may lag at times as I find myself busy with other projects. Rest assured, I will never give up on this though as this is truly my passion. I hope to one day establish enough streams of income that I can ultimately commit towards this non-profit fulltime, but for now, I am slowing down my posts and efforts.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me, continues to support me, and has shown me love throughout this past year and beyond. You are the people that have made me the man I am today and I am forever grateful for you. I love every one of you and I hope that 2020 brings all of us as much success as 2019 has.
Thank you, and much love,
Gene Grella
