24.

Year after year I am astounded by the people I meet. Different people, different cultures and different personalities. We are all different people and we learn and grow from each others experiences and influence.

We are influenced by the people we surround ourselves with. We grow and experience life through our failures, successes and adventures.

Every corner is an opportunity in the waiting. Even if it seems like it is a failure.
I have met a great deal of people in the last several years from different communities of my passions. From electronics, computers, photography, paintball, and other activities and scholar.

Every day is a new day for something great to happen. Even if its small. I know that over the years I have helped and inspired friends in in my life. Whether it is in a small way or a big way; I like to think I've done a little to help. It truly gives me a warm smile and a jolt of happiness knowing that I positively influence people around me. A smile makes us stronger. Through the grime and darkness we remember a smile. Even in the darkest of times.

Enjoy life and take the adventures and the road unknown. Through success or failures we find a way. One way or the other to the other end of the bridge.Across the currents of a unsavory river.

We are who we are from past to present. Through our experiences, our network of friends and our passions. Without the passion or drive we lose sight of what we are wanting to do. We lose sight of the things that drive us to do what we do.

Never let others put you down. Sometimes you may find yourself in the dark cold rain. However, if you keep looking down; you may walk past someone with the light that wants to help you out. Keep your head up and don't lose hope.

Thank you to all the amazing people in the course of life. The good, the bad, the old, the present and the new. Without a journey everything is for naught. You have all been fantastic people one way or the other. Everyone is different.

As the people of Lego Land would say. "Everything is awesome!~~~"

It is important to take time for yourself and away from everything. Do not forget who you are. Do not let that feeling fade away. There will always be people who try to down you. Indirectly or because of incompatibility. Be true to yourself. Show yourself to others. You cannot change without being seen. Be happy and proud of yourself. Every little step is one step forward. Let negativity push you to strive better for more positive aspects in your life.

Thank you to each and every one of you.
