I have come to the conclusion that no matter what happens in life I always have a home. doesn't matter where that home is, it only matter whose there. and no matter what the circumstance i always have a shoulder to cry on and a shoulder to lean on. and no matter who hates me today, i am always someones hero tomorrow. no matter what the day has given me i can always go home and smile. i cannot change today but i can always try and change tomorrow. and i've learned in life to never turn around but to move forward no matter what is standing in your way. turning around shows weakness but moving forward shows bravery. to many times we focus on the things that have HAPPENED instead of things that will HAPPEN. i don't regret the things i've done but only make peace with the them. knowing that i have learned from it and will think twice next time. i only hope that my son can grow up believing the same dream. i can only hope he goes on in life with the same burning passion i had so long ago. i only hope he pursues his dreams instead of leaving them behind. i only hope that he will do everything he wants to do in life before the time is gone. only hoping that the "i have plenty of time"'s doesn't tick away leaving him with no time. i have learned that money, fame, success doesn't mean anything if you don't have somebody by your side to share it with and keep pulling you down to earth to remind you that your the same as everybody else. Sex is nothing. But only a small tidbit of a relationship. A physical art of love. Love comes from the heart and soul of people. Tender kisses on the lips and little i love yous go long way in the love world. to sit with someone and not say word but still feel connected to them is love. feeling like a whole conversation has happened without a word being said is love. presenting one single rose instead of a bouqet is love. a single rose a symbol of an i love you, a bouqet a symbol of fear and insecurity. i can only say that i am blessed to have somebody that loves me for me and not my body. but for my mind, heart and soul. i have also learned that the loss of someone great and special is life changing. to lose someone dear is a life lesson that life is short and you don't have much time to do it all. i've learned that being sincere is the way to get anywhere in life. having trust and integrity is the only way to keep your friends. and no matter what be true to yourself so that you can be true to others.

I am not perfect but a form of it. I have my flaws like everybody else. I am true to myself. I only look forward because if I turn around I may miss my big chance for something big. Be true, be honest and you'll go far.
