Finding Good Within The Bad

Saaaaay what early post? Yeah buddy...Day 2/31, legit when I was sleeping yesterday like a bunch of random posts came to mind, so we'll see how I feel later lol might be heading to the library, anyways...

So I'd like to think I'm not really a negative person...I'm pretty positive. I've had friends tell me I'm a really on the fence kinda guy, where I don't like to pick sides...and it's true I don't, I like to see both sides and understand both sides cuz there are always 2 sides to a story. On the other hand, I've had friends tell me I'm really positive...in the sense that I like to pick out the positive things in negative situations, which is true also because what's the point of dwelling in more negative when your situation is already bad. But yeah...I really don't like the people who have to find the negative things in positive things...like what's the point of THAT...why can't you just enjoy the good? That's like those children who get B's and their parents are like well why couldn't you get A's...I'm blessed to have parents who simply ask me to work hard do my best. But it's like if Kobe scores 81...they'll be like well he didn't pass the ball to his team mates. Or maybe that's too random of a reference lol. I dunno, you know what I'm saying right...like you get something or you do something well...but you have to nitpick at it and find any ounce of bad. I try to be opposite...I try to find the good within the bad because it makes people feel better...and there's no point dwelling in the bad. I like being on the fence not to piss people off and not cuz I don't like taking sides...but I seeing, hearing and understanding both points of views...the worst is like when 2 friends argue and they want me to pick sides...and get mad at me when I try to explain to them the other point of view they may not be seeing...I guess you can call me a peacemaker in a sense lol...

Spreading The Holiday Spirit

I was hoping to get this up before 12...but any ways...December is always a very special but busy month. Stressful cuz it's finals and school is busy and ish...special because there's SO much going on...one being the blog's anniversary.So since I know I've been so slacks these past few months on posts...I thought it would be cool and a good motivator for me to challenge myself...to do AT LEAST one post every single day...yep that's right...you guys are gonna see (or read) a whole of more of me...some of you may like and some of you may hate that LOL...like the ones who's facebook feeds I clog LOOOL...any ways...that's just a challenge for myself...but also a semi gift to you guys...for sticking by me...always.

The Climb

It may be pretty cliché, but I'm reminded every single day, through every single failure...that loss, failure, rejection, mistakes, set backs and anything of the sort...is all part of life. It helps you grow, it motivates you and it makes you stronger. I feel bad for people who dwell on that ish or can't get over like a bad break out or a failed test or course or being fired or whatever you know. All that ish is part of life...to help you grow as an individual. It reminds me of the quote from Rocky...that it's not about how hard you can hit, but it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. Cuz life is gonna throw you curveballs, sliders, knuckleballs, anything but fast balls right down the middle...cuz that's be too easy...it's through struggle, trial, hardships, pain...that we learn, that we grow and that we become better. This can apply to anything...when you're working out, embrace that struggle...when you're playing ball...you're gonna lose, you're gonna turn the ball over, you're gonna make mistakes, but that's okay. Similarly in your christian life and walk with God...yiu're gonna stumble...you're gonna sin...you're gonna make mistakes...but God forgives you every single time with the intention you'll learn from it. This is definitely the mentality I've been adopting as of late...that life is a climb...but the view will be great.

I Wish That I Could Wake Up With Amnesia

Don't ask about the title lol, heard that from some song on the radio and thought it was very applicable to this post. So every now and then I have this one recurring dream where something traumatic happens in my life and I injure my head really badly. Whether that's like me falling down stairs and hitting my head or like getting punched in the back of the head or something...pretty much I'm in the hospital and I wake up with no memory of anything or anyone but my family. So legit I don't know who I am, I am as in like my likes, my dislikes, what I do for fun, my hobbies, things like that. I don't know who my friends are, who my enemies are, all things of the sort. Whenever I have this dream it gets me thinking what life would be like lol...cuz it's essentially a fresh start. How would people treat me...who would my friends be...what kind of person would I be? All these questions go through my head and it's funny cuz I feel like whenever I dream this dream...I live a different life...I have different friends, different hobbies or interests and I myself am a different kind of person. It's just interesting seeing...or at least dreaming or what my life would be like if I say wasn't into sports and was into books or something...or didn't chill with the group of people I do now and chill with a different kind of group you know, definitely makes for some interesting mornings when I'm trying to remember my dreams lol.

A Toast To The Fallen...

Just lying in bed...thinking about life and a lot of friendships in my life that have come and gone. Like people I was close with, people in my tight knit circle...who now aren't even in my general circle of friends, it's sad and it stings a bit. Went to my friends bday party on Saturday, known this dude since grade 4...just being able to see him and all the boys I've known since elementary and high school, dang. Makes me reminisce right now about the people I was once close to but am not anymore. There are a few standout people who I literally trusted my world with...nothing in particular happened...life just took us on different paths...and it sucks, but that's how life is...people come and people go, but I'm blessed to have continued the relationships I still have, developed on relationships or made new relationships. So here's a toast...to all my homies who I once called brothers and sisters...you'll always have a place in my heart.

The B In BRB

LOL sorry guys...know I've been slacks...Tuesday was the last post...legit where has the time gone...lots to catch you up on...been a long day today, legit in church all day for the most part. Not much up with me but school, church and friends...life has been slow...but school feels like it's moving fast...it's almost December...meaning...5 years of the best you never heard...it means christmas break, christmas, new years...always one of the busiest times of the year, but I'll def do my best to keep you updated, till next time,sooner than later, peace.

Count To 3

I have a post titled the same thing, feel free to search it up and read what it's about. Pretty much today I did something I've been thinking and talking to my friend  about a lot and though it didn't go as planned I'm still happy I did it. I prolonged it for a couple of weeks to the point where I didn't think I'd do it. Today it was right in front of me once again but I almost let it slip away...I thought in my head about that post and the whole counting to 3 thing and I told myself to man the eff up Rodmond...I counted to 3 and did it. I'm really proud of myself cuz it's a whole confidence thing and I think I've come a really long way from the person that I was in high school...
