Reconciliation

Last year in 2017 I found my faith again and my relationship with Jesus Christ. 8 years later (for reference: http://ricktheruler.blogspot.com/2009/05/genesis.html). I don't think I can truly express how grateful I am to be back. The amount that I've grown is astronomical. I'm nowhere near perfect, but isn't that the great thing about grace? :) I can say with sincere conviction that I'll never turn my back on my God again. I'm not happy that I spent so long away, but I'm thankful for the way God watched over me in that time and the things that I learned, because this relationship that I have with Christ is built on a much stronger foundation...a lasting one. Everyone's journey in this life is different. If you're reading this, I pray that your journey would lead you to truth, peace, and love. And if you're in Miami, check out the church I attend, Vous Church. It's a place where you can belong before you believe, and I'm proud to call it home.

Life

...is pretty goddamn amazing. I haven't made it yet, but I'm on my way! ✌🏾️

Because choice.

There's so much swirling through my head after reading this that I can't type my thoughts out in a comprehensive or coherent manner. I keep writing shit and deleting it, writing shit and deleting it. What it comes down to is I can't figure out how to write what I want to say without writing what I want to say. I suppose that it will suffice to say the article hits home.

"It's a revelation, a moment of clarity." I love how sometimes things become clear and my mind opens up to these epiphanies out of nowhere. These epiphanies often come with a change of attitude which admittedly is often short lived, but I don't really care right now because I'm going to indulge in this moment. The here and now is fleeting, my friends, and we mustn't take it for granted. Anyway, I really need to sleep. It's a big week and I'm already starting it off with a sleep deficit. Paid fitting for an HBO show tomorrow, work, exam, class, people to see, filming on Weds-Fri for the show, etc. And I fucked up my knee at Trash Talk on Saturday, so I gotta take care of that. This isn't that coherent, I know. Don't worry about it. I'm not. I'm glad that my cousin was able to make it down for Basel and I was able to show him some amazing things. I love that guy. Finally, I've got dreams and I'm fighting for them. They come into fruition little by little everyday. Just wait for it.

Give me a minute....

I'm still trying to catch my breath. 

Fo-cus!

I've been up since 5am trying to study, but I've been so incredibly distracted. I have too much on my mind, and it came out of nowhere. This sucks. I don't have an exam today, but still. Come on, Rick, FOCUS!

Edit: It's 9 till 3pm right now and I've literally been thinking about the same thing all day. The longer I think about it, the crazier my thoughts get. Can I get a muzzle for my mind, please? Like some eternal sunshine type shit? Damn.
