I hope that people read this and are able to take some form of wisdom away from it. I also hope that in my meager grammatical acumen, it can be understood. First I want to thank my friends and family for being there the past couple of weeks, especially my inner circle, without which I probably couldnt function. Ive said it before and I mean it now, I truly have the best friends and family a man could ask for. I love yall! Through this myriad of emotion I have experienced in the recent past I have come to realize I am not the person I once was and still not the man I want to be. My evolution as a person, though it has been moving, is not yet complete. Any of my close friends would probably tell you that I would do anything to help anybody. But though Ive done a lot of things to help folks, I havent given my all to anything in quite a while. My own hurts and failures have diminished my drive due to shaken faith. Messaging a friend from high school reminded me of the person I was, the ideals that were so important to me that have as of late been diminished. Its strange seeing how far you can come from the person you were. Im not saying Ive been bad or anything like that, Ive just compromised a lot. I believe in a few things that are now days considered obsolete apparently. I believe in chivalry, honor, loyalty, faithfulness, and honesty. I believe these are the things that truly separate boys from men and girls from women. I also talked to a new friend going through struggles, but with such grace and drive, who inspired me to search myself as well for the things that matter. Inspired me to be the man I once was, the friend I should be, while remembering the lessons Ive learned, and at the same time not dwelling on the pain of those lessons. I am indebted to you both more than youll ever know and consider you also a part of my inner circle. Anyway hopefully someone will read this and maybe even be inspired to aspire to more. I dont know. These ideals are worth remembering. Worth exemplifying. That is my message to you. Thank you!
