Six months, in a blurr, at times, I still wake up, thinking that I'm still in Costa Rica, then reality slaps me in the face, as I hear people outside , conversating to each other in English, which signifies, time has past, and I have to close that chapter.Now awaits another, with different challenges and new opportunities ahead, which will put my own negative thoughts to rest, and finally put my vision to the test. As one great thinker once said, to reach your path of success, one most endure the little test, nature puts in front of them, so when time comes, they can whether the storm. As I'm taking the time to spend time with family and catch up with old friends, I've also realized, I brought back many things with me from Costa Rica, on a subconscious level. I take more pride in physical fitness, I eat healthier, and I appreciate little things even more, compared to the past. Still, a question lingers in my mind. Did I prove to myself, what I said I was going to do? Process still in motion. My question will be answered, three months from now. As I am going eastward for a year. One more time to start out in a new surrounding, with a whole new experience and a whole different outlook on life. As I am about to enter another decade, my physical satture and childlike expression, can sometimes give people only a certain side about me, but within the playfulness and humor, there is a seriousness as well, who wants to do great things and make a difference in the world, through my stories and experiences, I want to share reveal that side of myself as well, which will imprint my legacy. I say, Live life to the fullest. Its a balance, which has shape me as a person and my outlook on life , but at the same time, blessed, having the opportunity to do this. As I take these three months to set back and relax, and not focus too much on writing and promote my new children book, "Melvin The Mischievous Mongoose"... Due out by the end of the summer. In this day and age, I realize, with hard work, good ideas, and an open mind, there is no greater gift, than making a lasting impression only once. One Love y'all... Follow your dreams!!!!
