ALL GIFed UP
As I continue to roll through this life, taking each day as the new gift that it is, I find myself gradually working towards an equilibrium. In my early 20's, I used to have fairly drastic swings of emotion that I'd have to confront on a daily basis. This would often place me in a state of indifference at best, and completely depressed at worst.
QUANTUM ENTAGELEMENT
But I found my way past those difficult years, and in looking back on how I pushed through, I realize that it was through deep personal connections. I took an active role in pruning my friendships and spending more meaningful time with the ones I truly love. Meeting what came to become my wife didn't hurt either. Getting completely entangled with another human is the most liberating and motivating experience of all, and as I enter what I considered to be the mid-point in my life, I now understand this crazy little thing called love.
THE UPGRADED ME
This new understanding about the power of personal connection put a much-needed hop in my step. I now walk through life with my head held high and an uncanny focus on what really matters. I'm positive. I'm optimistic. I'm healthy. I'm wealthy (relatively speaking). And best of all, I'm feeling patient. I no longer feel burdened by the unexpected, and instead, embrace and celebrate the fact that I have the chance to be alive at all.
TECHNO GRANDPA
So now I look forward to growing old with the ones I love and helping others see the power of positivity. Technology is getting crazy (Steemit is proof), but I no longer fear change. In fact, I completely embrace it. I want my life to consist of a series of split tests as I refine and prepare myself for the impending excitement of the unknown.
FIN
I don't know what comes at the end of this experiment known as life, but I know that whatever comes next (even if it's nothing at all), I'll slip away with a thumb raised high knowing I created a life that was entirely my own.
Much ❤
