Another year has gone by, or should i say another year has began? Time really does fly when living as a cog in the machine. When never stopping to smell the roses, and keeping my focus on the duty ahead, days sure do go quickly. I’ve entered into the last year of my twenties. I’m in a time of my life where I have had a lot of growth and a little success. My journey these days Im staying focused on my health, my relationships, my finances, and how to keep happiness and peace at the front of them all.
I spent my late teens and my early twenties on a path most would call destructive. I would try to tell you I was having a good time. I was trying to find my place in the world. I wanted to be around people, and wanted to have a good time. So i got involved with the party scene and as the time went on, less people were around, and I was not having fun.
I lost myself in a world of lost people. There were many lows during this time and it was really hard to find any positivity in my life. You could of said to me “what do you need from me? I will do anything to help you” and I wouldn’t of known exactly what I needed. I feel it was important for me to walk thru everything that I did. I tried many programs and services but until i made the ultimate decision that I was going to change for the better, nothing would change.
Relationships are the most beautiful thing about my life. I currently have the least amount of friends I engage with, and I have no drama in my life. Funny how that works. I found love. True love. The kind of love that you both know it immediately after looking into each other’s eyes. I am so grateful that my girlfriend and I met when we did, and not before. The timing was perfect for both of our lives. I never believed in the soul mate stories until i met her, and felt it for myself.
We work together as a team, have an open line of communication, and we truly love each other for who we are. I have never felt something so pure. We just had our two year anniversary and we are still going strong. Of course there are hard times, relationships take a lot of work. We both know our goals and intentions and I know there is nothing in life more important than fighting for the love of my girlfriend. I will never stop fighting for our love, and she does the same.
Working and being proud of the work that I am doing is something that i struggle with. I was always very interested in ways and methods of making as much money for the least amount of work. For a couple years I really set myself up to. I was really cashing out and not working much at all. I was the most depressed then, and probably living the most toxic lifestyle ever.
These days I’m in the 9–5 grind and Im truly grateful that I don’t hate what i do. When i get off work i write and make music. I have dreams of turning my artistic hobbies into a career. I know in my heart that if I have faith in myself and more so in the power greater than myself I choose to believe in, that everything that is meant to be will happen. I feel very blessed to be in a place where happiness and love is all around me, and what more could i ask for?
Peace and Love,
