Hell

Walking through hell is, most certainly, an uncertain and very dangerous journey that we often take in life. Show me a man who has not turned away from his struggles and I will show you a man who truly knows how to live. When we find ourselves in hard times we cannot turn around and just go back. We may choose to wander hopelessly in our own personal hell but we must acknowledge that we will never reach the exit unless we walk straight through the hottest flames for they will strengthen us for the remainder of our journey.

New Year!

Looking back on 2009, I see a year filled with sadness, heartbreak, trials, and devastation. But, more than pain, I see a year filled with new experiences, hope, love, and great accomplishments. Looking forward to the new year, I see a year filled with all of the same emotions as the previous year. If we do not experience sadness, joy will seem dull. If we never fail, we will never appreciate the bliss of success.
I always have the general resolutions each year: eat healthier, exercise more, and always seek to learn. This year, I only made one resolution: try a real relationship. I did not resolve to stay away from short-term flings. Only to try a real relationship at some point before the year comes to a end.
To faith, to friends, to loyalty, to courage, to joy, to hope, to love, to new experiences, to you, and to me, to yours and to mine. Cheers!
