Wow!!! Has it already been 7 Years since i’ve graduated High School?!?! Wow! Just only 3 More Years left until the 10 Year Reunion (If there is so). Just looking back from when i went to school to Learn Good & Bad (When i mean bad i meant my Struggles & Adversity) Yes, I was one of those kids who hated Homework & Assignments. All i liked is P.E. (Especially Basketball class), Music & Photography class. Those are the 3 things i legitly enjoyed doing in my School Life & also Speech class (I had difficulties with my talking growing up & difficulties Writing (Something i still struggle with today). But, If i could tell my Younger self this, I would tell him, I know your struggles & Your Interests/Disinterests but, I am Proud of you of never giving up to make sure that you have that Diploma on your Hands at the end of the Marathon & you kept yoy head up even with you struggles, I’m Proud of You & I Love You Bro. And i’m so Proud to do such so & celebrate High School Graduation with my Parents, Sister, Nephews, Nieces, Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Grand-Aunts & Grand-Uncles, My Friends & Family Friends & Most importantly God since i remember walking up to the podium, Grabbed my diploma l, Looked up in the Sky & Pointed up & dedicated that day to them & to my Teachers who are like Family to me now & appreciate their hard work for them to see me the person that i am today & into the future. That day means so much to me that got me to the person that i am today & will continue to build into the future (This just shows that i’m now and old man thinking that it’s now been 7 Years as mentioned. lol) & continue to follow the pathway that God has planned for me. 🙏🙏🙏 I couldn’t be Blessed to have my God, Family, Friends & a Support System who stuck with me since Day One & Still stick with me throughout this Marathon in Adulthood. This is just the begenning Folks. Just Praying & Working out with The Man Above to see where to go from here on out. :) #ThomasJeffersonHighSchool #ClassOf2012 #Throwback #June9th2012 #ToMyYoungerSelf #KeepPushing #ToTheKids #ToTheYoungerGeneration #Motivation https://www.instagram.com/p/BygW2_hgkut/?igshid=kyiyenl7lqf9
Memories, I cling on-to
Conversations I recall
Maybe it’s not the same
Perhaps, it still is, I say.
To my sentimental self, it’s fine to let go
Life Simply;
Perhaps it’s me missing those times, my younger self, when life was still less complicated. When the only world you knew was your family, cousins, relatives, childhood or high school friends and churchmates. All revolved with pleasant and good memories — nothing serious, nothing deep.
I was browsing through old photos and I could not help but miss those times when we were just so young and so carefree. We would hang out, talk about anything under the sun and would laugh our stomachs out. We would simply enjoy even just the cheapest food there is, as long as we’re together. Even the most spontaneous meet-ups, we could have because we have all the time in world.
Those times and people, really, I suddenly miss.
You’re gonna be the middle child. You won’t be happy. You’re gonna be lonely. Vegeta & Luigi will be your best friends. They’re 2nd fiddle, too. At 11 you’re gonna be threatened by a cop & put in the back of a squad car. Your parents will be indifferent. Years later that will hurt. In middle school, you’ll fight for your life just because Black American kids didn’t fuck with Haitians. You’ll learn how to write your feelings down. You’ll suck at first but be fire by 8th grade. Girls still won’t like you lol. You’ll fall in love with a girl who’s gonna move away & get married. That will hurt. Years later a girl you like will die in a car accident. You will never delete her number. You’ll move from house to house while trying to find yourself in high school. You’ll almost die from blood loss breaking a glass and severing a blood vessel. You’ll cut nerves in your hand may never be able to write again. Your past will follow you forever. You’ll feel like ending it, but you’ll remember you went to Horace Mann. You’ll make incredible friends and make a difference in the lives of others. Some will get locked up. Some will pass. That will hurt. But keep on. Money will still be tight, but you’ll be in your own apartment when you read this. A lot more happens, but I know you don’t like spoilers. Just take it from me: Life won’t always be easy, but you’re gonna be all right. I promise I won’t let you down.
