Remember the sand. No matter who or what walks all over it , no matter the size or the weight , the imprints eventually wash away. It can be anything , you can be anything. Don't let what steps on you define you. #Tomyfuturekids #thinklikeachampion #win #persist #believe #gohigher (at Bridgehampton, New York)

Depression

Depression is something I know you will deal with. In fact, everyone deals with depression at some point. It saddens me to believe that one day I will have to see that look in your eyes. A look I know I must have when I am feeling defeated. This look on your face will break my heart but know now that I am with you forever and ever, and the answer to your problems are always within you.

There are many ways people deal with depression. Some ways aren’t the best though sometimes people fall into bad paths, but there is always forgiveness. A couple of the most common paths that I recommend are either scientific or spiritual. Whether you want to seek opportunities through medicinal help, or through therapy, or do as I do, I will be by your side as you are my blood and my heart.

The way I handle depression isn’t always what I wish I did: I happen to find myself sleeping in, or binge-watching TV shows or movies, or just lay down feeling numb and staring at a wall. I understand that you are likely to find yourself in similar situations. When I do well in handling with depression, at least the way it works for many is to have Faith. What that means is to have a substance of hope in the evidence of the unseen. Again, that means that there is tomorrow – always. How do we know that there is a tomorrow? Especially when we physically can’t see ‘tomorrow’? We have the evidence of yesterday and it’s memories. So we can believe in tomorrow even when tomorrow isn’t even promised. I am not saying to live in tomorrow or even to live in yesterday, but realize that when today feels like it is crushing down on you and you can no longer bear the weight of the world, know that tomorrow is a new opportunity for you to heal and move on. Faith is what makes the impossible happen, it makes mountains move and oceans split. Most of all it makes your soul in charge instead of the brain. More than often it’s your brain that equals the weight of the world.

Love. a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker.

The #ToMyFutureKids hashtag is so annoying. Like however much you think you can, you cannot control how your kid is gonna turn out. You can't say things like "you will play sports" or "you will be smart". Maybe they won't wanna play sports? Or maybe they'll have trouble with school? YOU CAN'T CONTROL THESE THINGS. AND WHATEVER YOUR KIDS DO SHOULDN'T MATTER ANYWAY, AS LONG AS YOU LOVE THEM. ugh.

To My Future Kids

When I'm giving you a talk and tell you on of my stories, expect to hear "When I was your age..."

[zombies-apocalypse]

Some of the #tomyfuturekids tweets are horrible.

#ToMyFutureKids 1.) You will play lacrosse 2.) You will have flow 3.) You will be a bro 4.) You will not interact with baseball players.

Really? What if they don't like lacrosse or one of the sweetest people they could meet, their soulmate or future best friend was a baseball player?

#ToMyFutureKids your gonna listen to country music and live out country songs. Living out hip hop songs gets you in jail or pregnant.

Right. Cause drinking your woes away is a good way to settle your problems and some country songs are about the person getting in trouble with the law. Besides, you shouldn't force a kid to listen or live out anything if they don't want to.

#ToMyFutureKids both your parents are athletes so in that case we'll be one big athletic family the end.

Well shit, whatcha gonna do when your child is handicapped? Or artistic? Or just plain All-American lazy?

#ToMyFutureKids you might as well come out of my womb with a glove on your hand. #SoftballProblems

No, just no. Not only is that a scary mental image, but no kid has to play a sport just because their parent likes it!

#ToMyFutureKids Please dont be ginger.

Then don't be a ginger parent or hook up with a ginger. And even if the kid is ginger, you better damn well love that kid because there are some amazing gingers in the world!

#ToMyFutureKids you WILL be a dancer, no question about it.

People like you... UGH. Don't force your kids into anything.

#ToMyFutureKids if you don't like Disney films then I am disowning you

Wait, wait, wait... It's possible not to like Disney films?
