Final Chapter




Its been a long time coming but it is finally here, the final chapter in my school career. I have slacked off in the past which is due to my late graduation but better late than never. Its time to get a new year started with a new attitude, new determination, new focus, new visions, and make new friends. Nothing is more exciting than knowing you have become somewhat of a success in doing what not everyone is cut out to do, that is graduating. This is the end of one chapter but the beginning of a new story, I can't wait to see what the future holds but I know its bright and bold. Everything happens for a reason and I know that I have grown and matured and know that its finally my time to prove that I can do what I set my mind to. The question now is, what is next for me? Where do I begin? Where do I see myself living and starting my new beginning? There are a lot of unanswered questions but one man knows the answers to them and will unveil them to me as the time progresses. I'm glad I have not let any distractions overcome and take over and I'm still in the position I'm in to receive a great education. I wasn't sure if this is what I wanted to but know this is the first step in getting one foot out the door. So where is my destination next, Austin? San Antonio? Ft Worth/Metroplex? They all sound great and are something that I will be looking into as the school year progresses but this journey has been very scenic and I'm just sight seeing. So I hope everyone is ready to start this next journey and for those that will be right there with me this year, I am ready to explore with all of you and hope yall are ready to take things to the next level!

Thankful




I had a talk the other day with an unnamed individual and it was really eye opening as to how some parents can be so hateful and harsh. People grow up in different homes and some of them can be a little less painful than others. I am thankful for the little things like just another day of life, thankful to have the ability to walk, thankful that I can do things for myself on my own. Growing up I was always labeled as the "spoiled" kid, or the "rich" kid and anyone who really knew me knows that everything I have ever gotten for in my life was thanks to my parents working hard for me. I was never rich or anything like that, my parents just worked to get me what they never had and for that I will forever be thankful and will repay them for all their troubles in the future. I came to realize that some people don't even have the ability to pay their bills, rent, and that isnt the kids fault. So I feel for all of the people that had to grow up like that and I know that they were taught to grow up a lot faster than others do because they have to learn how to provide for themselves at an early age. I didnt have everything but I had plenty but nothing was ever just given to me, my parents taught me the value of everything I own and how to keep things in good shape and how to stay out of trouble and getting rewarded for being respectful and honest. I wouldn't trade my youth for any other in the world and just the fact that I am so close to my family and friends and that I am in great health is all I need. So thank you to anybody that has been a part of my life and continues to be there.

Livin Out A Dream



A dream is a succession of images, sounds or emotions that the mind experiences during sleep. What do you really dream about? Society today influences to dream big, dream to be rich and wealthy, dream to be successful, dream to do extravagant things but is that what really makes you happy? Does being rich buy you love and happiness? Material things can only hold you over for so long and being successful is great but does that really make someones life complete? I believe that everyday I wake up and I am thankful for another day of life. Being blessed to have a life filled with supporters and family that can help me overcome anything. I believe that life, friends and family are things that really make me complete and I wouldn't trade them for any amount of money in the world. I would rather have just a handful of true friends that I can count on than a crowd of fake people pretending to care when they are just after your wealth. Growing up in a small town really teaches you to value things a lot more than growing up in big cities where you are open to many more vicious people and surroundings. So what do you believe a dream is? I know I will continue to grow and continue to mature and bless the lives like so many others have done for me. A good friend that is looking down from above is still guiding me and continues to teach me with his lessons and strength and has taught me to never take the little things for granted. Dream big, dream small, just whatever size of dream it is, make it count for something, make it meaningful and that is the true definition of dreaming.

Pain




Without pain we would never know how to experience the joys in the world. Sometimes it takes rainy, stormy days to see the sunlight that comes after. No one lives a perfect life and even people that feel like they have it all cover it up with material things to bury whats really eating at them. Clothes can't cover up emotions and bottling up emotions can only be there for so long before the bottle leaks out. Pain can come from stress, emotions, relationships, friendships .... but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger and builds the character we carry ourselves with. Some people learn to walk around and look like everything is picture perfect but in reality they are being torn inside. Never feel like your in a worse position than someone else because you may not know what really be going on with someone. Be sure to always be there for your friends and even if its just reaching out to them every once in a while do so to show you have their back and you are a supporter anytime. Bad days are occasionally blessings in disguise, you never know when one door that closes may open up something bigger and better. We don't always know whats best for us be these doors are clues to our destiny. I know I struggle, I stress, and I have days where the pain feels like it will never wash away but at the end of the day I know I have people that have my back no matter right or wrong and will help me see the light at the end of the tunnel. Never let a woman/man do you wrong, have respect for yourself and for how you deserve to be treated. Don't search for that drama queen or bad boy that you feel you can change and be that person that finally turned them around because I promise you 95% of the time that will never work. Don't drag yourself through the mud and go through the pain and troubles of that, just search for that guy/girl who really can bless your life and keep things moving forward. So don't get impatient even when it takes too long, patience is a virtue. Things take time so be ready because it is worth the wait. Never settle for less, there is always someone that will complete you. Until that day comes I will continue walking in my same path and waiting for that intersection to come.

Confidence




"Confidence is a stain you can't wipe off" -Weezy. Someone people confuse being confident for being cocky. Everyone has different opinions and they are entitled to what they think. I believe that there is a thin line between the two but if balanced right, I think that you can achieve great things. If you aren't confident in yourself, who else will be confident in you? I know that having the right mindset and the way you carry yourself helps define who you are. Take yourself back that the days where you came across that one guy/girl who you wished you had the courage to go up to and ask them on a date, how would things of changed now? Or take yourself back to when you had a relationship where you once thought you had it all but there always is that one person that makes you second guess your motives, what if you would of been single or had the confidence to take that leap of faith with that one person. Where would you be now? How would life be for you now? Would they have accepted? Having confidence and the right mentality can take you places that you would of never thought possible. I know I have missed out on countless others where I felt that if I had the chance again, things would be way different. You can't go back and rewrite the past but you can be sure to make the future a masterpiece. I know that I have to be cautious about people I meet in the future and to be sure to not let great opportunities slip through my fingers. Don't hold back because you're scared, if you don't take great risks you will never receive great rewards. Confidence can stem down to job opportunities, girls/guys, money, power, school, anything you can think of. Be sure not to let yourself get into my position and wish you did things differently. I am only 23 years of age and I have only previewed a sample of whats to come, and I know there are going to be bigger and better things that align with my path and I am ready to make the most of what is put before me. Be confident and be determined and greatness will come before you know it.

Moments



In life we go through moments that define who we are and moments that are life changing. Everyone can recall a time when you take yourself to when you have a rough day or just a place to go to for comfort. Moments help us to have lasting memories with the people close to us or ones who were close to us at one point. Destiny has an interesting way of placing people along your path to ensure you learn how to grow and learn how to adjust to any obstacles that may come your way. Moments help us learn, help us adapt, and help us remember things that once were. Nothing lasts forever, there may have once been a person that you thought you would be with forever, or a friend who you felt would have an impact on you for the rest of your life but is now not that friend they once were. People never stop changing, just make sure the changes you go through are for the better and be sure to place yourself with positive people who can help you continue to move forward. Friends come and go but the ones who stay are the ones who you can count on when things really get tough. I know I share plenty of moments with my friends and they aren't just like any friends they are more like brothers I can count on. There are plenty of girls that have I have been friends with that are also very positive ones to have, ones who don't judge, ones who don't criticize, and ones who just want the best for me. These people know who they are, I don't like to associate with fake people so if you feel you fall into this category then you will be seeing less of me. I know I have impacted many people as well both my friends, family, and girlfriends, and I know that if I have not yet impacted your life yet, that I will at some point in time. I push people to achieve what I feel they deserve. I have been blessed to have many positive people here with me, and I will never take a second of your time for granted. Life is too short to worry about where you rank with people, what's hot right now, your economic status, just live and be thankful for what you have and not worry about what you don't have. I am thankful for the moments I have endured so far and wish to continue to make lasting impressions on my circle of friends, and friends I will make in the future. I'm sorry for my absence and this is just some randomness of the day and I just felt that I would share it with everyone. I hope you all have moments that you won't forget, and I hope that I will share moments with you and that you will never forget me.
