ive spent alot of time lost in my life, looking for some guidance that never showed up. i do not attribute this to my mother or father, they have given me more useful advice than most parents. but yet, even with it i have found ways to lose myself. sometimes i wonder why solutions seem so close, but the hole im in feels so deep.
not long ago, i realized who i was and that i am proud of it. i have spent the better part of my life trying to be someone else, and i have decided that i don't have enough time to spend it mimicking another.
i think a man can be measured by his responsibility and perhaps his pride. what a man will do for the ones he loves and what he loves. if a man works a job and does not like it, he has been beaten, but if he does what he loves and does it well, he is the winner.
my promise to myself is to do what i love with who i love and to make sure that she has everything she wants and nothing less. perhaps a bold promise for a young man, but what better time than now to set such boundaries.
happiness isn't hard to find, but there are a lot of people who will stop you from getting it if you let them. those people don't physically stop you, you stop yourself with their opinions, beliefs and ideas for you. im going to throw such things aside, and live.
" you can either get through life, or you can live it. and if you want to live it there's only two things you need; an inquisitive mind and a fearless heart"- Steve Earle
