Life As I See It

Typically, Birthdays are celebrating the achievement of ending of one chapter and the beginning of the next one. So I'm going to break the tradition of receiving things and give back to the world that (despite the numerous flaws) has kept me motivated to prove a point: that I can be a good change in the world. As I'm typing this, I'm currently donating blood. This significant because 5 years ago I was given blood to keep me alive safely. So today, I'm hoping I give someone else that same gift.

Over the front door...... On the outside should be a ritual that dispells all negative energy and feelings towards anything or anyone. Should be treated like a trashcan for those instances. On the inside should be the driving force behind us moving, shaking and grooving through the world. The reason why I am moving forward is because I see that I have a purpose to show people that not everyone is going to seek to be vengeful or spiteful towards you.

At one point in time, had you had told me that 5 years later I'd be a college graduate with multiple certifications applying to possibly work for the City of Atlanta. I'd look at you like you were facing the left, because there could be no possible way you could be right. But here it is, November 1, 2018; and I'm awaiting my 26th birthday in 7 days and eager to hear from the city to know if I truly made it or not. After dating the one girl that I was practically enamored and on the verge of being obsessed with for years. And lost in a month. I've decided to count my stripes and the blessings from them. At one point in my life, I never knew I would be happy to be a black man in America.
