It’s moments like these when I wish I could just sit and talk for hours about the path that led me to here. It’s not that I feel special in any way, it’s just that I’ve allowed myself to take a lot of risks that have led me into a lot of painful experiences. And no matter how precarious the balance has been between surviving and falling, things seem to work out for the best. All of life’s unforeseen twists and turns that define us seem so scary and unpredictable as they happen, but when you do get these clear days to look out and see the events for what they accomplished in you, and not as just as sheer randomness, they become so much more beautiful. It’s moments like these when a man can truly feel wise, not because he is wise, but because he was made wise by the choices that life gave him. Most of the lessons I’ve learned have hurt so much, but not nearly as much as not learning at all. I realized a moment ago that I have no cause for regrets. I have said and done so many things that I would love to change, but I can’t. I can’t go back and be a better man, or a better friend, or a better lover. I can only take from what I’ve been given, and be better for it right now.
