carry on my wayward son.

This trip was exactly what the doctor ordered. 

In 2 weeks I’ve found new meaning, new life, and rediscovered the things that make life worth fighting for. 

The times I’ve been down, the times when I didn’t believe I would ever find love, I wish in those times I experienced what I’m experiencing now, complete and unconditional love from my family. Yes, my mom and dad love me unconditionally, but it’s truly different when you have the entire family factor, all the way down to my cousins twice removed (who are actually pretty rad people). 

I won’t miss the place, but I’ll miss the people. 

Few things I was reminded in this short trip:

  • Finding love can be hard, but it’s worth it every step of the way, never settle for the sake of settling. 
  • Being who I am is fine, the people that love you and matter will stay.
  • I lack nothing. 
  • I am a fucking amazing individual.
  • I owe it to myself to walk away from people who take me for granted. 

Knowing the hopeless romantic I am, I know I can go a little overboard on my reactions when it comes to finding love. One thing is for sure, one day I will find it. (You hear that, doubt? I didn’t say I might, I said I will.) When it happens, it won’t happen a second too late. 

Can.

Stop thinking of all the reasons why you can’t, and start thinking of all the reasons why you can.


You’re greater and more capable than you give yourself credit for. You have another day to live, another day to speak your mind, another day to show this world just exactly what you’re made of. 

You are what you choose to be, so choose to be happy. 

 

Hell, if everyone thought negatively, nothing would ever be accomplished. Great minds were inspired, they believed they could do it. We have nothing if not belief, so it’s best to have quite a bit in yourself. 

 

A building wasn’t made overnight, keep steady and have faith.

Potential.

Everyone has the potential to be great.

Every single person, every boy and girl.

All it takes is patience, consistency, and faith. Believe in yourself and in what you can do, because really, the only limits we have are those we put on ourselves, so why put any to begin with? You’re worth more, and more capable than you know. Take it one step at a time, and watch bad become decent, decent become good, good become great, and great become fantastic. 

We have it in us, we just need to believe in it first. We are all born and made equal.

As the cheesy saying goes, “life is too short.”, let’s make ours kick ass.

New lease on life.

I feel so refreshed and renewed as a person. I haven’t found this much happiness, satisfaction, clarity, and peace before, to the point that even if today was my last day to live, I would die happy.

I feel fantastic. Heres to more days like this.


Although I can’t reveal FULLY why, all I’ll tell you is that I am happy, irrevocably and indestructibly happy.

as my heart will let me be
and I’m only as small 
as the world will make me seem.
