So it’s been awhile since my last post… I just don’t really know what to talk about anymore… Everything has been going the same way it always does. Seems like the friends I have slowly fade away from me. We have fun when we can, but life keeps pulling us all in separate directions. I would like you all to stop and think for just a minute – Where will I be in ten years? For that matter, try and think just five years down the road. It may seem like a long time, but in reality it isn’t at all. It feels like it’s been a matter of months since I lived a once care-free, exciting life with no worries in high school, in reality it’s been two years since I’ve graduated, and I’ll soon be graduating from college with a degree. We really need to stop more often and appreciate what we really have, I’m glad that I do have some friends that have been there with me all the way though thick and thin. I hope that I never lose any of you, because right now my family and friends are all that I care about in this world. I know that as time goes on the chance of losing the things that matter most to me in this world seem to become more of a reality. No one really knows what they have until it’s gone, and I think we all need to start spending more of our time left in life enjoying ourselves with the people that matter most to us.

Here lately I’ve noticed that I’m not the only one that wonders what they are doing with their life. I’m here to tell you from experience that life is just one big clock that keeps ticking away as the days fade by. If we don’t stop to realize it, we may never know what could have been. I know that sounds a little radical to try and live your life to the fullest, but if you don’t you may never know what you could have experienced. If I sit and think about it, I know there is nothing I can do in this life that hasn’t already been done by someone else at some point. So instead of trying to follow the “norm” and set my focus on nothing but getting a job, paying my bills, sleeping, then doing it all over again I’m going to try and get a job that will get my bills out of the way and give me as much time as possible to try and enjoy life how I want to – free. I don’t want to try and preach here, but I'm serious, I know from twenty years that I’ve missed a lot of life that could have been much more fun. I just hope that all my friends know that I want nothing more that to spend the rest of my life with them just taking things as they come. No one really measures the importance of spending time with friends and family; after all this could be the last thing you ever hear from me. Things happen, and that means that I could lose this life as quickly as it was conceived… The moral to this post was to help people understand that life is short, so if you want to do something, or you want something, just go for it. Why should we bust our ass trying to do what we’ve always been told? Doing that just makes you follow a path that has been worn down by everyone before us. I live by a motto such as “Keep your mind open and free, if you don’t you will never know what you could have had”. If we don’t take risks and try and go for what we want, life will just be the same ole track being played over again by a different person. I just want everyone to know that I love everyone, despite anything that may have ever happened in the past. I’m sorry if at one point in time I’ve upset you, or came off the wrong way. I just want to meet as many people as possible, and help them enjoy life the way it should be experienced. I’m always willing to meet new people and be part of their life.

I’ll admit it, I don’t know it all, but I do know a little. If we all get together and share each others experiences in life, we could all benefit by learning what other people have done that has made them happy, or what has caused them to suffer. I like to think of myself as someone who will go out of their way to help anyone, anywhere. I want everyone to be able to say they have actually lived their life to the fullest, and sometimes we all just need a little help, and that’s my goal. So if anyone at all wants to get together or just talk please feel free to drop me a line, like I said I’m always here for anyone that needs me to be. May your life bring you joy and peace, and may you be able to say you lived it to the fullest and were happy.
