I'm 26 today, and it's a new day and a new life for me to totally recreate myself. That image I see of myself in my head. All cut up and solid, layered in ink. Successful, passionate about my life once again. I can feel the freedom blowing in the wind and the people that always mattered at my back. I saw that image of myself yesterday, today I make you reality. I don't know exactly how I'm going to get there yet, but i know the only word that matters to allow you to set foot on my doorstep is Action. I'm humble enough to praise God for the good life I've been given, but I'm hungry enough to take that good life and make it better. Survival and satisfactory isn’t’ good enough. So yesterday I was 25, it was a good year. A year of building my foundation, a year of coming to grips with the man i wanted to become and not feeling the nerve to take action. I hesitated, I struggled with myself, I struggled with direction and growth. I struggled with being passionate to the end result and decided it was easier to quit in the middle. This year no more, this year no result is final. It is only temporary. 26 is my chance to become the rose that grew from the concrete.
