One day you will be forgotten, that is not today.

Hello, I hope that you’ve been well.

I have been well.

As the seconds pass I realize that I am nothing more than a passenger on this thing we call life. We all are passengers. It is the nature of life. Yes we can solve the great conundrum of being just a passing being on the nature of life.

The conundrum of life is it your experience, and no one else can define it for you. Well yes they can in the instance of your part you play. This is the first entry since I don’t know when, I would like to say consistency is key, but I am also figuring my own shit out. It’s hard to say something substantial beyond your own experience. However I will say that I love life. Today was actually pretty amazing in alot of ways. I woke up next to someone I love, then I got to navigate the myriad of demonstrating my worth to a sales position. The call was unanswered regardless of the allotted time. Till I was brave enough to answer the phone after I left a message. I strutted through my child hood home and responded to the stereotypical interview questions when they called back. Her name was Jocelynn and despite the discrepancies of my resume we shared a mutual understanding of what warm leads mean.

The closer.

What does that really mean? Ultimately it is a person who makes the potential buyer understand once they do business with you their life will never be the same. Thus the value of sales. My spine shudders at the thought of sales. Yet, sales are what makes the world go round, because if it was up to you (myself included) you would never leave your comfort zone.

As Earl Nightingale says being a salesperson is literally standing in your own field of diamonds. It’s just aligning the value that the product you provide to the efficacy of the service provided. We get a scummy feeling when it is a product that no one wins in the end. The hardest sell is a vehicle that has long served it’s product life, but maintains an inherent value. You need a car to get to work, here is this vehicle that will do that, but it’s got a myriad of technical issues that you could fix but it will work for the twenty five times you need it and it matches your budget.

Then there is the exact opposite of it. Living life. One day your heart will stop, it does that, it is life. So why limit yourself in the terms of the value you put in between your heart beats. Everything is so arbitrary anyways. Can you say you solved cancer. Shout out to the doctors who do. Yet, for me, I want to share camaraderie in the value of being alive. No one choose to be alive, and it is a miracle that we are alive in the first place so might as well make the most of it. Do things that shake your preconceived notions of what being alive means. As doctor (Cancelled) Seuss said, “Do what you want because the one’s who matter don’t mind and the ones who mind don’t matter.”

We are living in a fascinating age of life. Never before have we been so connected yet so isolated. My brother is engaging in a martial arts that doesn’t serve any practical purpose, but fuck yes I want to test my metal with blunted steel, Yes, it is pride month, and as long as you don’t interrupt the innocence of childhood I want you to live your truth. The world would be better if everyone achieve that level of acknowledgement.

One of the biggest gambles I wager on is the sacred hill of Jerusalem. It is controversial. It is predicting the end times. Yet, what if it is not. What if this arbitrary value on life and the great beyond is nothing more than the cosmos letting us live when it did and die when we do. How much of a rudimentary fuck up would organized religion be if everyone got what they wanted, but nothing changed? Life is suffering. It is why you cried when you left your mother’s womb, so why not make it just a little less, for those who go on beyond you.

I’ve spoken, I’ve written. I’ve poured my thoughts upon the page and there will be no greater consequence to me being, except I acknowledged the fact that I was alive at this moment.

So If you made it this far, I thank you for lending me your time.

You go on and be great, because that what you want to do.
