Stop Running 

I stopped running a few years back. Let me explain. A few years back I was living in my hometown of West Palm Beach, FL - for years I had been having the urge to continue my life somewhere else. I had outgrown my hometown and signs from the universe kept saying, "stop being a chicken shit and move on". I thought maybe this premonition was the escapist in me; so I ignored it. 

I had always felt New York was a place to for me. Not to make it big or any of that silliness, but to grow as person, designer, and artist. 

  I looked at it as grad school for life. 

  I had no idea how I was going to get there. Practical ways like applying for a job and graduate school didn't seem to be working in my favor. With frustration and time, I realized the move had to be drastic. 

In 2011, I saved my money, quit my job, sadly broke up with my girlfriend at the time, gave away most of my belongings, and waved goodbye to my friends and family. Words cannot express how difficult that was to do, yet it was one of the best things I've done for myself. 

  I've met, befriended, and loved. Exchanged words with people I greatly admire, respect, and honor. It was worth it. I am worth it. 

  Anyone who is faced with a similar challenge, you are worth it.

Socialize

For those of you who don’t know, I am an introvert. Every time I go to mix it up with the rest of humanity I have to muster up the guts to show up and be present while I’d rather be in a cave, with a candle, reading a book. On the other hand, I don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to keep myself connected to humanity. I need this. We all do. I feel when connections happen in socializing, unconsciously, I'm trying to build a tribe of people who are unlike me, yet individuals who are one hundred percent in their soul. People who are truly comfortable with their perfect/imperfections, and have an acute awareness that most lack, possessing an understanding that they themselves are evolving everyday, in every moment. I’m looking for the God in people. I have shared moments with my people where I have seen God in them.  I am thankful to them for keeping me grounded in conversation, in friendship, in love, and in life.
