I'm wicked at life
as kids, the blissful ignorance of impossibility inspires our imaginations to create the most amazing fantasies. becoming an adult, i've come to realize, is the process of turning those fantasies into reality -- the hope of dreams we've had as kids mapping the path by which we reach what our better judgment (read: cynicism) usually classifies as the impossible. i'm doing what i always wanted to be doing. and it's turning out to be an extremely successful venture. somehow i'm still surprised by this.
my dad called today.
him: how's everything?
me: we're good.
him: you work today?
me: haha... yeh. i work every day.
him: tomorrow too?
me: yeh dad. tomorrow too.
him: are you eating ok?
me: yup. eating great. just finished dinner actually. (had pasta in alfredo sauce with some fried chicken... damn it was good)
him: you need anything? money?
me: nope. we're good.
my mom has been gone for 2 weeks now.
my life, as of this moment: i just finished stitching together the final chunks of the project i've been working on. the client cut our deadline by half. i still finished 2 days early. there's food in the fridge, there's a full bag of dog food, the dishes are done, the house is kind of messy but still intact, i'm sleeping well, i'm eating well, my brother's chilling, my bills are paid, things are taken care of. i've got a savings account and a small investment. i'm running my own business, working full time for an agency and working as a contracted freelancer for a multi-billion dollar corporation -- all at the same time. my portfolio is growing on a daily basis. my business is growing at a steady rate. my girl is lovin' me off. i walk with a gangsta swagger and talk like i'm 'bout it cuz i'm mother-fuckin' B_O_U_T it.
"our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."
