I’m was sitting here thinking about a few things and I wanted to try and write it all down. I realize that I only write on this sight every once in awhile because I’ll come back and read and reflect on what came out of my mind later. If I wrote everything that was going on in my mind all the time I’d either look insane, or brilliant I’m not sure which.
I set high expectations for my life. I’m starting to realize that in order to truely be a great man, you must not expect to be great in all that you do. You must do those things which define you as a person greatly and great you will be. I have always felt like I needed to do something big, pivotal, world changing with my life but I don’t think that’s true anymore. I dream of doing such things but I can’t constantly TRY to do such things. My actions must shape my life first and hope that the people who see me live will find meaning in what I’ve done and use that to inspire themselves to do more.
I can’t believe I’m almost 30 and I still don’t know what I want to spend my life doing. What do I want to be remembered for? It’s not being all over the place and never accomplishing something because I can’t focus on one thing.

i always imagine it is my 80th birthday party – who is there? what are they saying? what is the best memory people have of me? who did i spend my time with? what did we do? what were those things that i known for?
if you are asking me what i think of you – i think you are profound. your soul is older than your body – you think of things most people dont think about. you are aware and like to provoke the awareness of others. you care like no one else i have known. you are loyal to a fault. you think of the affects of your words and dont just spew them out into the universe.
those are the things i would remember about you. but god forbid i only have memories.
