Thank God I went legit.
Surreal moments like these feel like dreams within dreams. Have you ever been living a dream you didn’t even know you had? The ability to see, then the capacity to see things clearly. The ability to walk, then the courage to walk the right path. The ability to be aware, then the competence to actually do something about it. I suggest you do so.
That’s why we’re here. We are truly created to create. Created to make moments, memories, and meaning. I use the term God in a non-religious sense, an omnipotent, biological, quantum-physics kind of truth. Because when you’re in places like this, you recognize that you are also One with it. Though it may seem separate, we are made up of the same atoms and share the same universal atmosphere.
And gratitude is the glue that has kept me together. Clearing the path for our highest interest and reminding us of our God-given right to choose. Choosing to take a walk over doomscrolling. Choosing to spend time with family and friends over isolating. Choosing to recognize the blessings we are so fortunate to have and how tragic it would be if we didn’t.
People say all the time that life isn’t perfect, but in the Earth’s defense, we are the perfect distance from the sun needed to sustain life. Things may not be ideal where you stand, but they are as they should be, or else they wouldn’t be. Some call it fate. Some call it destiny. The beauty of it all is that we still steer the ship of our own souls.
I can remember like yesterday taking family and friends down the wrong paths before, paths that didn’t end very well. So I use the time I have remaining to seek and gain reprisal, recompense, and redemption for our troubled past. I’m just grateful for the great friends and family who still choose to walk with me despite my shortcomings. All praise to the Most High that resides within us all.

P.S. Writing is for those who read, so it wouldn’t make sense be concerned about the opinions of those who can’t, would it? I use this analogy in all things.
Your Mom was right, it really is that damn phone!
Put it down and pull up to our Annual Holiday Book Exchange 📚
We’re bringing some of our favorite reads to share and trade and you should too! Book for book, story for story. Refreshments will be flowing, and one lucky reader takes home a gift card. Might even have a chess tournament. Come swap something that changed you.
