like a kid again

i've got this feel good song i've been listening to for over a month now.

..now i can finally talk about it.

you wouldnt believe how much i've changed if i told you.

...shit, i can barely believe it.

the thing is, the new me, is just the old me..improved.

this that shit - shit to make you feel like a kid again

i think that's exactly how i feel.

ironically, i just grew up, but im feeling like a kid again.

i've regained my innocence (uhh..more or less)

my ability to find happiness in the smallest of things.

to just laugh..and be.

to live and love for myself, and still capable of caring for another..with ease.

...and when you've gotten to the point where your friends approach you,

saying you seem happier, living healthier, feeling better...than they've ever known you to be..

you know youre doing something right.

without even realizing it, i was just a tired soul.

in need of refreshment..vacation.

a reminder of what life and happiness is really all about

that's what this is.

that's who you are.

... i ain't livin a lie like Rihanna & Dream

and now, i feel like i smile more. i feel free. i feel loved..like actually.

to my friends, thanks for your incredible support, encouragement, love,

who know's where i'd be without it.

and to all the obstacles i overcame,

it only taught me to value what i have now.

see they ain't think i could, i stunt harder on 'em

i'm incredibly glad...but more so, blessed

that things worked out for me this way.

i was always warned that when something drastic happens in your life

and affects you negatively,

that odds are you, your personality, your life,

are going to be altered for the worst.

all i can say is, God knew me better than that.

my optimism is one of champions.

my faith is that of the determined.

so i won't ever give up. on myself or on others.

i'm sorry haters, but i don't care to stop.

and i write all of this to say,

i am grateful for the opportunities to experience all the

greatness that life has offered me so far at the mere age of 20.

...and, maaan, if this is how i'm living now,

i'm more than excited to see how much better things can get!

..and this is called what living out your dream gets..

i'm realizing how we, as humans, tend to make the most minuscule of 'issues' so life-sized when they don't need to be. why waste valuable life time being unhappy when so much of it is worth your smile.

don't let one (or a few) negative person(s) or event(s) have the ability to make you turn your back on happiness, trust, or a naturally good spirit.

stay true to the child that lives inside of you.

the one that can see the beauty in simplicity

and still believes everything is possible

shit happens to everyone, but believe it or not, it won't last forever,

and greatness always awaits on the other side.

appreciate what life brings - everything happens for a reason.

embrace it to the fullest.

........and i dont have to lie - my life's the fuckin' shit.

:D
