Thank You

Giving thanks to everyone who has entered my life.

Thank You
Omoge Mura

With Thanksgiving rearing its beautiful head around the corner, there is so much that go through my mind. Food and family mainly. So it might be time to give some thanks for those who have helped me make this life spectacular thus far. This thank you is for everyone. This is for my family. Whether you are a part of my immediate family, my extended family, step family, and even my theatre families, this is a thank you from me to you. This is also for my friends and people who have come and gone in my life. If at one point I have considered you a brother or a sister in some way, this is also for you. I could not have gotten to this point in my life without so many, so here we go.

Dear family, friends, and whoever really needs it to be honest,

Thank you!

In all honesty, a simple "thank you" just does not feel like it is enough. It does not justify my feelings toward all of you and I really cannot find another word to use. For putting up with some of the stupid stuff I have done for 23 years, yeah "thank you" does not feel right. So I am going to do my absolute best to thank you properly and whatnot. I will at least try.

No matter what I pursued in my life, or even when I had a set back that either made my change courses or put me on hold, I always had people either by my side or wishing me well. When I spent a week in the hospital for a herniated disc and had to have surgery, I felt so much love from everyone and came out better than ever.... after healing of course with a positive attitude and a knew look on life. The same thing happened when I had to make a choice in high school to stop playing football after another concussion. I had a lot of support in my decision and in the end it was for the better because it felt like a weight was lifted and I was able to focus on other things.

There have been people who have come and gone, which is a shame sometimes, but to them, I wish you are doing well. I have not forgotten about you and I know at one point you have influenced me in some way or another.

It has been a journey for sure, but that is what life is all about is it not? Meeting new people who you can either benefit from or not, it is an adventure. But in the end, there are so many people in my life who I need to thank and I do hope this does some justice at least. So until I figure out a better way or a better word, thank you for helping me become the man that I am. It really has been a journey full of trials, but I have made it this far because of so many beside me and I really am excited to see where my journey goes. So from the bottom of my heart, I love you so much and thank you.

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
