Stress has been something that I have not really had to deal with. I think it's been because of my outlook on life and how I view things, although a family is not something that I have experienced yet and I think that that is going to be one of the only things that will provide some type of stress in my life. Usually how I look at things is... if I can control the outcome, then I'll control the outcome and it'll be fine. If I can't control the outcome then worrying about it does absolutely nothing and there's no point in stressing over it. The main thing that I think will change that is I will have a family later on, and not having control of things that only effect me seems totally fine, but not having control over something that is going to negatively effect my wife and my kids is definitely going to cause some gray hairs to grow on my head.

I think this last blog post is going to end up being about my own family and how much I appreciate them. One of the main things that I've learned this year is that not all families are created equal, some of them only have one parent, some don't have any children that are actually related to the parents, and others have issues of their own, whether that's some kind of substance or physical abuse.

For one, having a family is one of my biggest goals and being an awesome dad is part of that, but in order to have a great family, I need to date people to find out what type of person I can love the most, and whether or not they would be able to have a family with me. Of course dating isn't just for finding someone to have a life with, but I would be lying if that wasn't one of things I thought about before or after the date. Dating also tends to have some rules to it, but those rules are now changing as time goes on, much like the roles of a family. One of the main rules for a date was that the man always pays for the date, but it has gradually been changing to whoever asks out the person pays for the date to add a bit more equality to the equation. I'm honestly not mad about the change because that means that I can go on dates and not have to worry about the price of a date, an...
