For what seems like a long time, I have been trying to get back to being “me.” sure there are a lot of steps like for instance I tried to determine what being me really meant. Who is this me and why did he leave? I asked my friends or moreso gadged it off of what they said to and about me and it came to this- I’m an asshole that gives good advice. Maybe you would settle for this but I was quite frankly shocked. This marks the longest I have ever been at a school and incidentally the longest I have had friend. They should know me best. So then I started asking, where does what they see and what I think what they should see diverge? What I started to realize is that the divergence happens almost immediatly. Have u ever been told something so many times that you start to believe it or even become it? I have been told 10000000000000x that I’m an asshole. What they meant was that I was acting like an asshole. I settled for that. I tend to say what’s on my mind and speak off the cuff which could come across poorly but I have to believe what is true. Where did “me” go? It was forced out when I settled for who I was sold as.

I am amazed at how well people follow through. Last night at midnight, I was surrounded by my friends cheering a bottle of champagne. I didnt call any of them nor did I expect any of them, but when the hand struck midnight they were all there without so much as a complaint. On your birthday, I think it is nearly impossible to not look back at your life. The truth is that have always been incredibly blessed. I was born in a wheelchair, with very little chance of ever living a long life. Here I am at 22, and I never felt a bump. People ask me if it is hard being in a wheelchair, and for me I never felt the struggle because of it. I have always had awesome friends and an amazing family that have gone out of their way to make that possible. On days where we recollect, its humbling to come to this realization. Truth be told, someone would be hard pressed to find better friends than mine. They always follow through. always.
