Be You.

           

As of recently, I have decided to go back to my roots: 
 A simple guy, who likes making people smile.
That’s what I do.

When I think about this blog, and even the purpose of blogs in general, I question what would truly make someone want to read this…and especially what would make them want to come back.

In a world full of commercials, advertising, and propaganda, people have literally become numb to the never-ending bombardment of messages around them.  What I have to offer, what I am willing to share, is true, genuine, thoughtful, and above all…real.  This is me, unhesitantly.

I care, probably too much. I love, probably too deep. And I forgive, probably too easily. But that’s me, any variation of that would not be me.  I won’t backstab someone to get a promotion at work, I won’t manipulate women to get them to be interested in me, and I won’t lie to project an image of someone I am not.  I have full faith that me, being me, will accomplish all of those things…

The world today has kind of made everyone numb (including myself), and a general paradigm shift from caring about others to simply caring about ourselves has definitely occurred.  Our world is significantly smaller than we think, and our attitudes and beliefs are incredibly infectious. To be yourself, fully and truly, is harder than ever before.  I know for a fact that many things about me have changed for the worse since I moved to Arizona, due to the people and experiences amongst other things. Recently I have been questioning the people I surround myself with, and what sort of person I am around them.  Lately I have been hanging out with my buddy Gerald more than ever before, and for some reason unknown to me at the time…I was suddenly happy, optimistic, and simply rejuvenated.  Why? Because he supports the person I truly am…rather than pressuring me to be someone I am not.

Good things happen to good people.  As lame as it may sound, I stand by that statement.  Karma can be a $#)@*, but it can also be an angel.  Just because someone screwed you over in the past does not mean you need to do the same to the next (undeserving) person.  Change the cycle, and maybe someday it will come back in your favor. 

Pressure in life is neverending. I challenge you to believe in something, believe in yourself, and stand by it.

Be You. Unhesitantly.
