Scary, Scary, Scary

Yes, it has been a tremendously long time since I've wrote anything meaningful, or anything at all. I was reviewing some of the the blogs that I had previously wrote, and am a little disappointed in my-self. First, for not posting anything lately. Secondly, for not using it as an outlet for my thoughts, and everything I'm going through. I know I don't have all that great of a following, but I do know that there are some regulars that read these things, so I'm pretty sure that I will get back into it. And I want to get back into, but I need your help. So, here is the latest on my life. In a nutshell, it is a very scary point in my life. My life has changed a lot in a very short time, almost to the point where it's a little overwhelming. I don't really want to elaborate on a lot of details, because I have to keep some things close to my heart, or with the confidence of my closest friends. But there are a few things that I would like to discuss. All the while in grad school, I heard rumors and saw the reports, but never really grasped the situation of the real world. I have come to realize that it is very real, with very real consequences, and very real situations. But what I have also come to realize, is that what kind of attitude you put into it, or what relationships are in your life go a long way in helping your bare the brunt of life. Those relationships can be very beneficial into how much and how vigorous of an effort you are willing to put into the time between morning and evening; and anytime after, should that be the case. In addition, we're not always promised an easy road, in fact, often the road is difficult and bumpy to show just how fragile we are. So when those anchor lines are broken and we begin to drift, it is scary. But, I think that something being scary can be beneficial to us.However, it is in no way fun. What we get out, can often be a result of what we put in, our investments can make a difference. Miami is such a contrast of ideals, cultures, success, and beliefs. Here there is so much invested here. From beach front property to student loans and from career choices and projects to making this place home. We all make choices that mold the people we are and hopefully, the people we want to be. The thing about investments, is that a lot of times they don't pan out. So then what? I don't know, that's for you to figure out. But I do know that a good thing to do is to diversify your investments. Over my two years in Miami, I've made some pretty big investments, some haven't panned out, some, are yet to yield their potential. But luckily, I have diversified. In retrospect, maybe not as much as I should have, but enough from keeping me from going under. And it's these investments that I cling to now as I face a very uncertain and scary future. However, there is untold opportunity in uncertainty, it's in this and the Faith that I have that I will (have to) cling to
