Interesting question... I think my answer is: Happiness comes from struggling together... crying together... and laughing together 😂

I like people. I also like to talk a lot. Sometimes I worry that I annoy the people in my life because I can get really excited about what I have going on and rant about it for too long. I also don’t want to come off as bragging because the last thing I want is to have the people I love feel like I’m talking down to them.

Frankly, I’m living my dream life right now and I never thought that I could live this life. The only reason I’m here is because people have inspired me and told me that if they can do it then so can I. So sometimes I get stuck in this preachy vibe telling everyone who will listen to me that if a mediocre guy like me can get sponsored to do the things I love then what is stopping them from doing it too.

There are so many limits that I put on myself and I’m really lucky to have people who care about me that help me take those limits off. I also realize that everything can be over in a moment and so I’m trying to enjoy everything as it comes. The people and brands I get to work with in doing this as a job make me feel like the luckiest guy in the world. I’m especially grateful to work with @redmondrelyte and to get to know their values as a company and become friends with the people who work there. It also helps that I really love their electrolytes and that they have a really cool mine.

Here’s a poem that I wrote for spring because I love spring.
Leaves are plastered
To the wet earth
They gasp for air
As the snow
vanishes everywhere
Little green sprouts
push for life
and their tiny frames
stretch upwards
Their ears
Hear the roar
Of crystal clear
Water softly
and swiftly
Ripping through
The Canyon
Racing down
To awaken the valley
Declaring boldly
That the earth
Living in the sky
Has risen
From its chilled slumber

Sometimes I’m not the best at showing it but I really do love you guys and I never could have imagined the amazing people and friends I’d meet through posting random videos on Instagram.
