I may not succeed, I may not win but I will remember.
You know when I remember the art of rhetoric, convincing people (the art of persuasiveness as it is properly defined - also being a manipulative *****), and I sit in my house in Tokyo (imagine that, eh?), I can't help but think that once upon a time I was lost in a world that i knew well. Well the good news is I have fought my way across 37 states, 21 (and counting) countries, and I have found so many different dreams that I can't seem to just pick one into it's own existence! But being on the other side of the world doesn't help very much, considering that my use of the language may be fluent but not native. Did you know that in the past 6 months I managed to net over 2 grand? Take money off my debt? In a country that some people "wouldn't last a day"?
Two days ago I chose to be honest yet again. Everyone that knows me understands and comes to grip with the fact that I have honest intentions. God if you could just imagine how many people I love, how many people I believe in, how much I want people to succeed. At Gaba I managed to find people who could find their own future taking chances, finding dreams, finding time to not be "normal", and it's truly been my honor to give up a piece of my soul as a gift to their own. I, regretfully, define love as something that is when I can exist as a different person thanks to someone else's, however potentially brief, input into my own life. As the "sap" that could probably grow a damn tree I love quite a number of people! And I'm proud of that! I have been a star in so many ways. "If I hadn't have taken your advice" or "Without you" is basically the tenets of my life that I realize I don't regret for a moment!
One day when we take a deep breath we realize that we have forgotten more important things than we have actually remembered at work. I think that when people set an ideal, set a dream, set the strategy for a match, they realize that what they are doing is creating a business, creating a dream of their own goals and something that other people may one day aspire to be in their own setting, own self? I thought of establishing a business called "Fruit First" where i would sell both cupcakes and amazing ripe, locally grown fruits, and try to focus on America being actually Healthy for the Soul. Which I teach more often than not. And you know what's funny? I think it is great idea! I mean of course it is my own so I am a tiny sliver biased, but what do you think? Success in the making? It'd be good, right? Eat a piece of fruit, eat something good! And regretfully it's a good idea that inspired by my own mother that I've had such a love hate relationship for years with.
I had a dream last night that I was back at home, existing in a place that I didn't know what I was doing, in a place where I was thinking of the things that could happen without being the impetus for some new beginning. I've realized that I will always forget things that don't drive me forward, because when it comes down to it that if it doesn't matter in 5 years then why the hell to we care? Why do we care when it won't matter in 2 years? Maybe in a day? Why do we stress to give ourselves hell when we can exist in happiness and in a place where our future is an actual possibility? Why? Because most of the time we end up like the idiots society wants us to be. Because we are not destined for small things, we are destined for change, however small. We are destined to exist as a person that has seen more than not, to travel, to believe, to help, to educate, and to end up in debt either way. Because that's the god Honest truth. Note the capitalization.
Regardless, have a nice day!
