I've Been Found Part 1...

I'm not going to gloat with such a splendiferous love story...but I'm not sure if I can entirely hold back at this point. When they tell you that life finds a way and the universe tends to unfold as it should, well...its REAL. In the process of rebuilding myself and not looking specifically for anything I fell into something truly special that I myself never thought possible. The kind of stuff you see in movies basically and I can't even imagine life before it.

We spend a large majority of our lives being people that we truly aren't in order to make others happy (WRONG). Unbelievably so to myself I have been me more in the last four weeks than I have ever been in the last 17 years or more. There is nothing more pure than this feeling that I am so unacquainted with. I sat around wallowing for years, living in the past hoping for an impossible future with a seriously misconceived idea of what love really is. Well, in my not searching I stumbled upon the truth. Everything that I thought to be true prior has been debunked by a woman that only comes along once in a man's life. She showed up in my life and never ever left (God I hope she doesn't). They say "you don't know what you lost until its gone" well I've "paved that paradise and put up a parking lot" right next to an actual HOME which is where I've always wanted to be. Living in the present allows you to actually see the true beauty in this thing we call life, and I intend on seeing all of it!

To be continued...

Reposted from @the9stripes In the early days of the American Revolution, before the formation of the Continental Army, several colonial regiments and local militias were engaged against the British. Each local group flew their own colors in battle. On June 14 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution stating that “the flag of the United States be 13 stripes alternating red & white” and that “the union be 13 stars of white in a blue field representing a new constellation”. This was the original ‘Betsy Ross’ design. Two generations later President Woodrow Wilson declared June 14 a national holiday to commemorate the birth of Old Glory, the American Flag.

ThePursuitofHappiness

521 West 26th Street, 1st Floor

7 September - 7 October 2023

Trying to be the first one if your family to break generational curses seems like you trying to die a million before you get it right. I’ve lost family, I’ve lost friends, support, myself, I’ve killed my ego many times, I’ve cried, prayed & damn near died for this shit. I refuse to let anyone stop me from getting what I deserve. Now is my time..🤍

Rest

Bathed in morning light

I find my rest.

A shallow buzz becomes a canopy above;

Cicadas ebb and flow in rippling waves;

I find my rest.

Today I’ll write and it won’t hurt so much.

Not with the blanket of the sun to wrap me up.

Not with the mourning doves who dole out little whispers saying “It’s okay -

Even I, high up and far away in solitary song can understand.”

I find my rest.

Does Healing = Happiness? “A lot of people start the healing journey in pursuit of undying happiness. Over time, with real healing, they come to realize that pain is an important part of the healing process. Learning how to feel the pain we suppressed is how we begin to process it. In the end, the goal of eternal happiness seems trivial. Instead, emotional intelligence, self-awareness and self-acceptance become more meaningful and sustainable goals.” J.
