If you want to go fast, you’ll go alone. If you want to go far, we’ll go together.

stay true.

You can have everything you want in life.

You can have everything you ever dreamed of, you can have it all. Physically and virtually, whatever it may be.

But the one thing no one can ever posses or can ever have in any state or form, is what I have.

All’s Well That Ends Well.

finally, all is well.

lifestyle.

It’s safe to say that many folks go through a series of lifestyles within a lifespan. Some lifestyles can change according to who and what is around you. It’s in my belief that society plays a huge role in the often transient change of lifestyles many make.

As for me, society doesn’t play a role in the lifestyle I choose. I don’t need to stay trend or do things just because society, in this point in time, deems it to be cool. For me, the transition of lifestyles comes from an inner feeling that tells me to move on.

Most of my life, I lived what you call a ‘straight edge’ lifestyle. Although, I’ve probably felt the purest and happiest in my life, that lifestyle came and went. I transitioned to what most would consider a normal lifestyle. A bit of drinking, having fun and being outgoing. Different in ways of being straight edge, but nevertheless still a healthy lifestyle.

Somewhere along those lines though, I’ve fell into what I consider an incumbent lifestyle. The monotony and drive in my life has fell considerably.

Today I’m writing this to make note. I will change my lifestyle once more. I guess I’ll call it the healthy living/whatever it is I want lifestyle.

I have everything I need to make sure my goals and dreams come true. I have the will and the wit to make changes in my life for the good.

I’ll live my life. I get all the things I want. I’ll move somewhere far like North Carolina. I’ll do everything I want to do because the monotony stops here. I do too much for other people and not enough for myself. That also stops here. If anyone wants to come for the ride, then that’s fine with me but if any fall behind, i cant continue to wait any longer. Theres no holding up because the future is right around the corner.

Set the bar high, focus your vision, and sharpen up. You only have one shot to get what you want. You certainly don’t want to stay here all your life.


Nothing will stop me from this point forward. Nothing has ever stopped me before. Nothing ever will stop me again.

I’m on my way.

committed persistence.

Persistence in life will take you places you’ve never imagined and create opportunities you’ve never thought you will ever have.

Commitment characterizes you, yourself and the dreams and goals you are trying to pursue and accomplish.

Together, both, are powerful.

Persistence and Commitment, do get you everything you need and want in life, that’s for certain.

Last night, you spoke some words and left me speechless for most of the car ride home. I was in a state of confusion. Very confused actually. That was until I found an answer earlier today.

I quickly realized that persistence and commitment also get you something almost every human being is in search for.

Freedom.

If you’re confused or don’t know what I’m talking about or if you don’t believe it.

Let me remind you.

Deteriorating.

At this point in time, this is perhaps the worst I’ve ever felt from a physical standpoint in my entire life.

Many things are the cause of this, but for the most part, work plays the biggest role. It’s been a huge undertaking, balancing life and work, running a company and the everyday stress of my unfinished endeavors. It pains me from within.

So many depend on me that taking time off isn’t an option. If let people down and I can’t continue to do so.

I’m going to try and gut this out, hopefully this fast, health deteriorating lifestyle, won’t be the death of me.


stay true.

the story, goes untold.

Every step of the way. Every line that I’ve ever said. It goes untold the amount of love, care and passion I have within me.

I’ve done things I shouldn’t or didn’t have too do just for a greater good.

But what goes untold and unnoticed is how much I gave up for this greater good. Perhaps no one has ever noticed.

Until the right time, the story will remain untold.

stay true.

the wait is over.

Finally.

The wait is over. The constant stress for you is gone.

I’m happy. I’m thrilled. I’m proud. Most of all, I’m relieved that you finally got what you needed and what you wanted. I’m so happy that it kind of makes me emotional to think about the struggle and work it took to get to this point.

I’d like to think that I’m at the very least, a small part and reason why this happened today. Persistence, always pays off, like I’ve told you and my persistence might have led and help you on this path.

Almost two years ago I met you. And for a while now, I’ve been helping you achieve this endeavor. Those times where if I can save you every single penny, whether it be on things that weren’t even for me, I did so. I was there. Those times where I’d stay up long nights helping you or even finishing everything for you, so you wouldn’t fail. So you can succeed. Move on and along in your path and take a bit of the load off your shoulders.

There are things I’ve done in which you don’t even know that have helped you quietly. There were sacrifices made. Best of all there are words. Many, many words. From the very beginning, written. From my head to any canvas, physically or digitally. In hopes god will help you and put you on this path.

Although, when I wake up tomorrow, I’ll wake to my problem. The 677 of them that I currently have. But tomorrow I’ll wake up knowing that the greater good always wins.

Until tomorrow that is. Today is a lovely day. The greater good finally had its way.

element of surprise.

There are days where I like to sit and reflect on times where life wasn’t so cloudy. Where bright blue and sunny was the day’s theme and everything around was ever so glittering.

As of late, those days have been missing. At an attempt to find a way to bring that everlasting sunshine and smile back, I have discovered yet another thing about myself, in which I didn’t notice before.

Surprises. The element of them and how in one moment, they can capture ones heart and make them feel in a state like nothing else matters except for that moment in hand.

Sunshine, I think I found a way to bring in some light.
Yellow is the theme and something you can’t wait for, I will bring.
I know where this sunshine lies and I need to find it now.
So i guess I will make you smile, so you can light up this whole town.

stay true.
