About Me

First name is Julian, middle name is Ryan. School/work calls me Julian. Family/family affiliated calls me Ryan. Might need to stick to Ryan sometime in future to make it more simple.
Life's good. I've just been working full-time ever since I graduated from high school but will be going back to school soon (wish me luck). I'm a pretty quiet guy, mellow, but I hope you take the time to get to know me better.
--------------------------------------
Change is inevitable for the good and the bad. It's something that's going to happen regardless of whether you like it or not. Putting energy towards resisting is a lost cause. Rather, you should be thinking of how to make the change work for you. Keep your eyes toward the light at the end of the tunnel and just keep moving forward. That's all we can do and sometimes we forget.
For the last few years, it felt like I lost sight of what I've been working towards or where I'm going with my life. I've noticed I've been getting caught up in the moment far more frequently, living day by day with plans focused primarily on drinking and partying. Don't get me wrong, everyone should learn to enjoy themselves, but I just think there needs to be a healthy balance between business and pleasure. If you're not serious about your life, who will be. It's up to you.
Everything i'm saying can be a bit cliche and said before, but it's what's relevant to me. For once in my life, I feel like I know exactly what I want and i'm confident that i'm going to succeed. I have a plan and I know damn well that i'm going to make myself proud.

With each step I take in the world, my eyes see more to life. I see more beauty, more passion to live. All I need at this point in my life is just to enjoy breathing..
