Excited to be here

I am a 63 year old man living in Ellensburg Washington. I moved out of Seattle as it was too expensive and too obnoxious for me. Ellensburg is just right. I was also living in a bad marriage (indentureship?) to a covert narcissist who was as mean to me as a hive of yellowjackets. I went into therapy to deal with her, and came out with trauma therapy for the trauma induced by my narcissistic mother. I came out of therapy far stronger than she and instantly got a divorce and moved away.

During the therapy, it was learned that I was a creative, an artist that did not belong in the business world. I had an interest in photography, picking up a camera was the best thing I have ever done. I have been involved in photography for about 5 years. I shoot nature from flowers, animals to landscapes. I sell my photography in a gallery in my town. I am not making much at this time.

Due to being traumatized during my work life, I had no good savings plan, so I have been wanting to have my photography carry me, but it cannot right now. Jobs are hard to find in this town, so I have been Door Dashing for the past year. It’s burned me out, so I have been cutting my time and my profits. I need something like a real job.

That bad marriage prevented me from being the exercise fiend I was as a younger man. So I am currently trying to exercise and eat right to get healthier.

Thank you for sharing @Rob63 and welcome to the forum! You will find that many of us share our life stories, which can be very cathartic. Best of luck with your new exercise regimen!
