I am living the good life. I once heard a man mention to me, “more people have it worse then you and more people have it better then you, but you need to realize that you are still here. Start living the life that God has bestowed before you.†Those words have been lingering within my head ever since then and I have noticed that tremendous miracles have been unfolding before my very eyes this year. I have been looking deep with my heart and my soul, trying to figure out what it is that needs to be changed, and now I have found that certain change. Ever since I have let God back into my life, everything that has come my way has been nothing less then spectacular and I thank the people that have recently been involved in my life for that and everything they have done to make my life better. Nothing is better then having an optimistic view on life. It just makes everything all the better. I am trying to change myself for the better of my own being. I have come to realize my faults and know that many people despise me, don’t trust me, and even hate me for what my formal self caused to them. My life contains many hardships and once in a while may seem tedious, but I cannot complain. I am striving to be a better man, am constantly on the road to reach my ultimate perfection, and am a person who sacrifices so much for my true passion which is music. That is my higher calling and I will do anything that is humanly possible to reach that calling. Leaving that little tangent and going back to what I was going to mention, if I did anything wrong or hurtful to anyone in any way in the past and I know there are many, I deeply apologize from the bottom of my heart. My beliefs and my lifestyle, that of constant lying and disobedience, alcohol and smoking, betrayal and deceit that consumed my past was the wrong life for me. I now know who I am and I know what goodness I can bring to this world and I will try my hardest to better a better person for my family, my friend’s, and my Lord and Savior. Realize that you are never left alone to rot in this world and that there is always a better way to improve your life. I know I am not perfect and everyone knows that me or you will never be perfect, but at least I have accepted my mistakes and am growing. This is me.
