They not like us
I’ve known you for 10 years and time seems to be passing us by faster than it did back then. So much has changed, but a lot has stayed the same. I think I drive you crazier now, compared to back then and I honestly am sorry lol. Dealing with me has probably taught you a life time of patience and you definitely have way more life experience now waiting for me to get ready. We used to workout at 3 am at Strength & Beyond in Kalamazoo, Michigan and we still drag ourselves to the gym in Tampa, Florida at that time while trying to film a YouTube video, get pictures and video content for all socials, all while maintaining more patience as we either listen to really bad music, while also realizing other people are also crazy lifting at that time, but sometimes smell like dirty cheeseburgers. We endure more emotional pain, compared to college days, but we pick ourselves up each day, even if our smile seems forced and fake.
When we started this all, we had no idea what we were doing and we still really don’t. We are presented challenges many couldn’t even comprehend, which often times makes us feel really crazy, as we exist in this world as outsiders to normalcy.
It’s been an interesting journey, trying to heal my own internal pain, while you also are doing the same. I’m proud of us for acknowledging what most run away from. You’re passion for more and relentLess (his neck tattoo) work ethic are what make you stand out in a crowd. I’ve always appreciated how apologetic/empathetic you are when my feelings are hurt, as many people live a lifetime being unaware and caring less.
I’m proud of us for sticking to our promise years ago, but I’m more proud of you choosing yourself. Your child like heart has never deserved the pain people have projected onto you and I’ll never be okay with anyone disrespecting you. The claws will come out *hiss*
Cheers to another year of productive bs and learning from our past mistakes so we don’t repeat what hasn’t worked twice. I’m very excited to see you add more words to random parts of your body.
