leaving school left a huge void in my life. it took away the routine of everything. took away my desire to really do things. I felt unmotivated and defeated. but, it taught me something. don't take the privleages for granted and took make smarter decisions. it also gave me the time to just sit down and think about where I truly want. to go with life. with some advice from a handful of peers, I was able to realize where I want to be. instead of accounting, I want to pursue a career in track and field. whether that's pro(I have big dreams, obviously), becoming a coach on a collegiate level, or working behind the scenes for a track and field program. my passion for the sport is too deep to give it up. I've changed majors (double, accounting/psychology) and moved schools (UMKC). with this new start, I'm beyond excited for what's in store and for what God has planned for me down the road.
did I lose you all yet? no? well, good. let's continue.
I miss New Orleans big time. especially around this time of the year. my birthday, then thanksgiving, Christmas. holidays and birthdays start to roll through and me not being there just seems wrong. this past year, they've undoubtedly been my biggest support system (not like they would ever drop from that spot). they were there when I left MU. there when I was struggling financially. there to listen to whatever I needed to get off of my chest. now, they're just as excited for me to go after what truly makes me happy. there's no one like them and these past 20s years would not be the same without them. I miss and love you all. see you guys soon.
tad bit emotional there. hope you readers stuck around for it. let's go on.
God. simply put, just indescribable. to the many blessings He has given me, to the rough roads he brought me to and we conquered together, He's my centerpiece in life. this past year, he's brought amazing people in my life, opened up my eyes to new aspects of life, to new opportunities, and brought me to share the gospel with those around me. twenty year from now, I hope to re-read this post, get to this moment, and am able to say I'm a better reflection of Jesus and brought many people to him.
with the decisions I made this past year, I don't regret any of them. I made the choice to follow through with them all, and look where it has brought me. I'm happier than I've ever been. I've given up control on many things that were noticeably out of my control. I'm able to say I'm better than my former self and that is a great reflection.
I feel as if I was a bit vague on this post, but honestly, those three were the biggest parts of this past year. there are many smaller things I wish I could tell you all. if you were to sit and talk with me I'm sure I'd tell you more. but this past year, it was a wild. I survived it all and am ready to get started on my next chapter as a much wiser, more Godly, smarter, more humble young man. thanks for listening guys.
Peace and Love.
