Hey guys...Long time no post. So here we are again giving you an update on my life. Here we go. 

Lately I have been questioning everything in life. I guess you could compare it to Descartes' method in The Meditations. Similarly, I have decided to start from scratch, developing new ideas as to what reality (perhaps mine in particular) really is.

"Is" is a funny word. It denotes an even funnier concept: being. If reality truly has being, then shouldn't we be capable of perceiving it? Often times, we do not. Instead of acknowledging reality for what it is, we get caught up in what we feel reality should be. We spend too much time dwelling on the past and/or envisioning what the future should look like. That's where we go wrong. The shoulders, could as, would as hold no true being in the now. It's simply not reality. Same goes for ideas about the future. I will allow that ideas concerning the future have somewhat of a role in the now, however, there is a very fine line where the ideas become more destructive than motivational. Sometimes life throws us curves, shattering our most precious dreams for the future. If we cannot adapt to the inevitable changes that will no doubt occur, then we have not succeeded in living. Getting stuck in life typically is a result of living in the past or the future, rather than the now.

With all this in mind, I pledge to quit dwelling on the past and to worry a little less about the future. As cliché as it sounds, I am choosing to believe that everything that's meant to be, will be. I will simply have faith in myself and my ability to make the best life for myself. Of course, there comes the reevaluation of everything I had perceived my life to be. But ultimately, it comes down to my pledge to choose my own reality, which happens to be the now. I no longer want to surround myself with superficial people who cannot grasp what it is to control their own reality. When we live under a mask of superficiality, we are not living in reality. However, despite this vow of choosing better company, I'll need to be careful to not judge too quickly. Judging itself can prove to be detrimental. I do not want to plead guilty to any more mistakes in life. Of course, I realize that error cannot be completely avoided but I do want to live my life in as pure a way as possible. I guess it really is simple after all: be true to myself. If I immerse myself in what I view as my reality-namely love, positivity, and truth- then I will have no choice but to smile and feel true happiness.
