//04.21.2018// "What's My Age Again"
[LIFE]
"The world used to seem so large when we were younger, as the things that we used to look up to seemed so far away, so out of reach. But as I grow older, the world doesn't grow smaller, I just become closer to reaching my dreams."
- Idle Thoughts While Driving
This past year has been a one of very great introspective growth. More and more responsibilities fill up my day to day life, and these times continue to challenge me to keep pushing towards the person I want to become. But rather than letting the workload of school, friends, family and personal desires overwhelm me, I have been blessed to say that I have the constant support of many people in these fields to guide me through the murky unknown, all with a smile on my face.
I've always prided myself on seeing through the roughest of matters with the same smile on my face that I remember from childhood, but I've come to learn that a lot of the reason I can do so is that of the people that I have in my life. This weekend has been amazing, and I would like to take this time to thank everyone that reached out to me, either via social media, text messages, calls, and in person. I'm inspired by the enormous amount of kindness and love, passion and talent, and compassion and knowledge that I experience every day from my co-workers, my colleagues, my family, and my friends. As I continue my education and open my opportunities, I am forever thankful all of these pillars that create this foundation that I stand on, to reach closer to those dreams I had when I was so young. Thank you again to everyone that sent me their love on this birthday weekend, and I hope to offer the same light to everyone that has assisted me through my 23 years.
Thanks again to @doylestreet for the wonderful smoked salmon scramble and the overall good vibes from your team, and thanks to Reynaldo of @davesbarbershop_eg97 for giving me that clean cut that made me feel that much better with my look.
