It's Monday, and that means it's time for yet another exciting week of life. Some of you may be asking, "Ken, what happened? Where did you go?" Well my friends, to be perfectly honest, I just kind of fell apart. But I'm back up and running again and next time I take an extended hiatus I'll be sure to let you guys know about it.
Today I met a girl riding the bus on the way to class. I'll spare her name, however I eventually came to find out two things:
1. She was 14.
2. She had just gotten kicked out of her house.
I was surprised by this information to say the least. Luckily, from what I can say, things look like they'll work out just fine for her. She's got a network of support from friends and others that are willing to support her.
I just thought that it was an interesting way to start off the week, meeting this person. It was a bit of a reminder of where I've come from. Something that seems so far away. I'm glad that I've had the opportunity to remember. Recently, I've been rather unmotivated. I don't have a just cause to rally myself behind. I don't have a solid dream to chase after. And honestly, it's all a lot of hard work.
However, I suppose it builds character. Life isn't easy is it? It'd be nice if it were. But damn, wouldn't that be boring? I guess from here I suppose my goal will be to simply do my best. I don't think one could ask for anything more than that.
And so for you, my dear readers, I entice you to do just that this week.
Do your best. In everything. Whatever it is, if you decide to do it, give it all you've got. Give it your best damn effort and pray it's good enough. And if it's not, then get better. Become stronger. Stand up, and run. Run towards tomorrow and another week. I'll be right there with you.
-Ken
