Once upon a time,

July 6th, 2010

There was once a boy that became a man. When the man was a boy he searched everywhere for love. Yet, he could not find it. For the boy was very foolish and made many mistakes on his path of life. Yet he didn't have to pay for them, not yet. But now that boy is a man. He recognizes his mistakes and the gravity of the payment they are due. That man realizes that he didn't become a man by growing older or wiser, the boy became a man through the mistakes he made. However that man still searches for love and someone to share it with him. It's a long road on that search, with many differing paths. That man longs for what he has been searching for his entire life. He is determined to find it. That man won't give up his light or his hope. He will never turn to the darkness again. He learned from a girl that there is a light that never goes out no matter how strong the darkness may be. I was that boy. I am that man. I am who I am. I have regrets. I learned from them. I have felt the pain of losing people you love. It has made me live life fuller. You may assume this man only cares about himself, but by whatever power there is in the heavens, you don't know the real me. I will give my last dime to you. I will bust my ass for you. I will be there for you in the darkness. Holding a light so you aren't alone. None of my friends will have to be alone as long as I draw breath. All you have to do is ask. If you need something, let me know. I love you all. My brothers and sisters, it is time for us to be what can be. Time to show some potential. I will stop now before I begin to ramble.
