food for thought...

i just posted a few hours ago, but i feel another post coming out so here it is. the post is simply an outlet for me....

it's been nearly 20 years now that i've been going around this world through the motions of my life. i've got a great family. i've got an amazing girlfriend that i don't know what i'd do without. i've got a good group of friends i know that i can depend on. i'm going to a great college with what promises to be a great profession God willing. a lot of people ask me questions and advice about what's going on in their lives. a lot of people think i seem like i've got most of life figured out. the truth is, i don't know jack. all i know is that i have no clue how to get from day to day. the only reason i can give anyone advice is because i've usually messed that up already to tell them how to make something better, etc. so if you ever think you just can't make it through another day, realize that even the people that seem like they have it all figured out have no clue what's going on. they fall and scrape their knees the same as anyone else. but, to put it in the words of rocky..."it's not about how hard you hit, it's about how many times you can take a hit and get back up."
