Freedom

There are things I know that you will never be sure about. My life was easy, you have gone through more than me but I understand the world just the same. Every path I take I take with uncertainty and conditional faith, every path I avoid I avoid with thought and assuredness. 

        Though I may never see the dreams I reach for, that does not make them any lesser than your own. The ego does not drive me but rather what feeds the ego, approval and proof that I am good enough.

        I will always work on the road of life laying asphalt in front of me to follow and I am content. There’s no secret to it. See what you have, see what others don’t and make the choice to be happy with yourself. 

        “Fair” is a loaded word, “Fair” does not account for what people are unable to say, “Fair” does not apply to those deciding what it is. To live a “Fair” life is to not live at all.

       “El Riesgo Siempre Vive” the risk always lives, A motto I live by. I firmly believe that if no one suffered life’s challenges it would make life too dull to accept. 
      
         There is no answer to why we are here, there is no meaning or purpose, so each and every one of us must decide to find a reason. What we as individuals choose to be worthy of living and dying for.

          It is true that no one ever comes back after death. It is also true that those who lived to their potential will be remembered for all time. There is no point or evolutionary drive for us to be remembered but not a single person wishes to be forgotten.

            The past is a sour treat, carrying on what so many believed to be important but leaving behind what the few LIVED for. There are things you know that I will never be sure about but understand that living is the most important thing anyone can do.
