Sometimes I think......
I've become complacent. I've become naive. I've become alot of the things that I hoped to never be. It never makes me mad, but I do wonder how. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed. I think alot of it has to do with this place. This concrete jungle that is my home. Sometimes I think of moving, sometimes to PA or NJ, or sometimes even CT. But I'm not sure if that's far enuff away. So then I think London, Germany, and even Japan. Most say I'm running, I just think I need an escape. From it all. The constant, never-ending, overwhelming foolery of it all. I want to be at peace, I function better that way. I gather my thoughts and I think of all the things that I would like to be doing. Like writing for a dope magazine, or reporting stats for the NBA/NFL, hosting my own morning show, taking pictures, or travelling the world. And then I think of all the things that are stopping me or in the way. Experience, responsibilities, finances, family, friends, and then I think of all the things that I could've done different. And sometimes I even wonder what I did wrong. When did this become my reality?? Sometimes I think to myself that the man above has to have more in store for me. That this couldn't possibly be all. And then sometimes I think, this is soo much more than many others could even fathom. I have options. Does that make me ungrateful?? Sometimes I think that I should just be happy with all that I've got and forget about all that I want. An apt, a car, loving family and friends, a stable job (regardless of how unhappy I've become) and him. I appreciate him more than he knows, and he cares about me more than he shows, but such is life. Sometimes I laugh when I think of my past. Good to know it's finally far away. The good memories are unfortunately not as vivid as the bad. Sometimes I feel like I'm in neutral with the hand brake up and my foot on the gas. I want to do more, learn more, see more, be more, live...more.
Sometimes.....
So.......
Like it, love it, or hate it. This is mine, not yours. This is me, not you. And this is real!

I think what you need to do is follow your dream.. whatever is holding you back isnt good for you.. there is nothing in this life thats important enough to hold you back from being happy.. no one is going anywhere as far as friends and fam.. finances will ALWAYS be a problem no matter where ur at.. if you do things right.. plan things meticulously.. bring out your over achievement nature and just flow with it.. u can do it.. i believe in you.. your family believes in you.. and anyone who puts a damper on your plans they probably would hate to see you go but they believe in you too.. life tests your devotion in every way.. when u prove to life that nothing gets in the way.. then the attraction will start.. have faith.. and let yourself be guided ;-)
