i turned 28 a few days ago

in moments of extreme stillness i actually get overwhelmed at what my life is. 13 years ago i made a promise to my mom.

i risked everything to make something happen. i spent so many days with nothing but a vision as fuel. too many thousands of hours and miles away from my loved ones. too many “i’m doing great” texts to my mom when i was actually wondering how i’d pay for my next meal. too many missed memories. too many failures to count. too many days with my accounts in the minus.

i’m happy to say it’s it’s all been worth it. what i’m able to do for my family and friends now fills the void of all the missed memories.

first class to japan for the second time this year as i’m typing this. eating meals at the world’s best restaurants and never thinking about the price. paying for friends and family to take trips and have experiences that slow down time. working hard and giving opportunities to others. WHAT A LIFE.

the material nature of this life can distract you. don’t fall for it. at the end of the day it means very little. what matters the most is how you take care of your loved ones. how you align yourself with a purpose greater than yourself. how you receive opportunities and share them with others. how you make the people around you better. spending time with your loved ones. the rest is just noise.

i always knew this would be my life, but there’s a difference between knowing something and it manifesting in physical reality. blessed is an understatement.

WHAT A LIFE! 🖤
