Well the stars definitely aligned this Friday night, maybe it is the magic of a new board; No, it is more than that. The people that allowed for this to happen are the real reason for this post. People in your life can be a blessing or a curse. The trick is to surround yourself with good people and the bad ones seem to fade. I think I am beginning to master this very well.
Tonight I had an amazing sesh and everything seemed to go right. It was chill, yet driven. It is a refresher from the monotony of my daily life. Reaching out to different people can leave you in places you never even imagined. I have some very good people in my life and I am grateful for that. Everybody is someone you can learn from. They have an entire life you know nothing about, even if you have known them for years. From the struggles of paying the bills and providing for a family to seeking fame and fortune from your favorite pastime, people are in your life for a reason and you should listen to them. They are probably trying to help you. I say probably because if you believe everybody is in on some scheme to try to help you, then you may have pronoia, the opposite of paranoia.
Skateboarding is where I belong in this world, yet have been dragged this way and that to conform to society's way of life and I have learned from this. There is only one thing to do: Follow your dreams.
I am either hopelessly addicted to this lifestyle, or there is a god in the sky and his name is skateboarding.
There are always going to be problems and things to do, but if you put what is important in front, then you are going to succeed. Some people shy away from what they want, but not me. I am going after what I want out of life.
Meeting up with the people I met at the skatepark today shedded (and shredded) new light into my life and I have only encouraged me further to delve into my goals.
