Yeah! I know it’s technically not 10/15/2008 anymore and I’ve already written an entry for today, but when has that ever stopped me before? Okay maybe the 2 entries on the same day thing is new, but you know what I mean. I got a lot on my mind and plan on getting it off right now. There’s no time like the present, so why wait? Life still amazes me. I know some of you are thinking that I’m not old enough to say that, but so what? I said it! Life is an amazing course of events that you wish you had some kind of road map to guide you through but, in retrospect, it wouldn’t be as much fun if you knew what was coming. Now, before anyone jumps the gun, nothing has happened. Well, nothing major has happened. I’m just expounding. I like to do that from time to time. But I digress… I’m looking at my recent history (the events that have taken place over the past few months. If you’re feeling a little lost, go back and read all my daily reflections from the past 3 months. It’s not much to read, you’ll live) and I’m so at peace with myself that it’s a little funny to me. The reason it’s funny is because I couldn’t imagine anybody else going through what I’ve gone through and coming out like I did. I’m not trying to say that I’m Mr. Indestructible, that’s far from the truth. I’ve been torn down, by myself and others so much that it’s amazing I get put back together correctly sometimes. I think I feel like I’ve weathered the true test of my staying power and passed with flying colors. Maybe not flying colors, I could’ve done a little bit better, (maybe taken the high road with regards to my feelings about certain situations and an entry in this very blog) but I still made it. And that’s a good thing. Nah, scratch that. Damn it, that’s a great thing! And through all the shit, all the verbal ping-pong, the rousing games of “He Said, She Said,” the handful of people who really had my back through the whole saga have earned a very special place in my heart. Some of them already had a special place, they just found a way to make sure it stays theirs. Thank you and I love you (y’all know who you are). I’ve always been told how much promise I had, how many big things everyone could see me doing. I guess now is the time to turn that potential into reality and capitalize on my inner greatness. For the first time in a long time, I’m excited for what the future holds. I’m excited to see if the things that have shown to me come to fruition. Especially when it comes to a certain situation, but that’s neither here nor there. It sure is gonna be a fun ride. Assalamu Alaikam
