There isn't a whole lot that can phase me. I am not easily traumatized nor am I one to go ballistic about much. As I have mentioned many times before, in earlier blogs, I am careless. But things have changed. Work, school, and long spans of sobriety have nudged me into an actual schedule. I plan things days ahead of time instead of taking life 20 minutes at a time.
I don't see too many of my old friends any more. Occasionally I will send them a friendly greeting... but overall, they aren't involved in my life any longer. As much as I miss my teen years and my adventures through high school, the time has come for me to resort to absolute maturity. I can't act like a child or even a teenager by any means. In fact, if I did I know I wouldn't be where I am now. I have a loving girlfriend, family, friends, and a beautiful daughter that could snatch my heart right out of my chest in fragments of a second. I am blessed. For those of you that don't believe in the God that I do, no hard feelings... But he has been turning my life right-side-up for the past few months and it is feeling pretty incredible. Thank you to everyone that has been my snorkel. Thank you for being my eyes when I can't see, for being my ears when I can't hear, and for being my brain when I need advice. Thank you for being my family. Thank you for being my girlfriend. And thank you for being the greatest daughter a daddy could ever have.
