So its been awhile.
Life is going great right now. Ive learned in the past couple weeks what things are important to me. Im moving into my apartment March 1st. Ventura here i come. I will be a bike ride away from the mighty Pacific Ocean. More importantly I will have my own space. Sometimes when we are so far down we dont realize how great of a stride weve made until one day we look back and see where we once were. Divorced,seperated from kids, living with family and then friends, struggling to make ends meet; Not saying that all problems go away, but we learn to deal with the inevitable and make ourselves better people by what we've been through.
Life is given to us only once. When I was getting my tattoo finished I looked over the guy and said " So if I dont like it we'll just erase it and start over, ok?" He laughed as I did and replied," Its like life, you only get on opportunity, make it what YOU want."
Are you doing that? Is your life what you always wanted it to be? If not, then find a way to make it happen. Ever wanted to go to Costa Rica, GO. Whats stopping you? You dont have kids, or a job that makes you stay. The only holding each of us back, is ourselves.
Ever go the store and just want a 100 pair of jeans or that nice BMW? Work, use your money you
broke your back for and buy it. Cause even when we are dead and gone whos gonna spend your money? Your kids?grandkids? Why shouldnt they be saving for themselves? So you can enjoy your life here.
No one cares how much you make, or how popular you are when youre gone. When you are gone you get buried the same way the poor Army guy does; in a coffin under dirt.
Im done. No real meaning to all this.
