Over the course of my life, I’ve always been a thinker. Realizations and intelligent thought raced through my mind even before I could really understood what they meant. Over the course of the last year I’ve made several large leaps and bounds about the true essence of the reality of life. Most of my life I was oblivious just like most others, but soon came the realization that everything I had known up to that point was not correct. The conventions of a child and teenager that were painted by parents/society/school were grossly wrong when it came to being an adult living in the “real world.”

Part of my realization and growth is having these ideas that I understand but have not yet implemented in my own life for whatever reason. Among these things I wrote are presented below and are a result of a very sweaty night last summer. They made me cry, made me laugh, but most of all made me think and know that there is power in being a Human Being. Never forget this. You are power incarnate.

They might seem a bit cliché, but I think they stand to be restated for you and everyone you know so they too might be able to change their way of thinking for a moment. Live a changed life, live a positive life where you give and get much in return. Giving something that I think has real value for the people that might read it and the knowledge that I truly helped the life of a stranger that I may never meet thrills me.

Stay Strong and Stay Confident.
