I know that everyone is different and some people can handle more things than others can, but every single person has their breakdown point, do they not? We seem to be naturally built like that from the way society has sculpted us. There are curricular activities and processes that mold you otherwise so you DON'T break down while taking on too much. They seem to teach us to take one step at a time and do what you can with what you have. Things like physical training, which teaches you about your mind and body alone, psychology, which focuses on the mind and even things like school and work. They all collaborate and teach us certain things about ourselves that further develop us into the people we are and do become.
I am currently juggling multiple items in my life. Before these events all happened at once, one by one, I thought I was ready for it and prepared. "I can do ANYTHING I set my mind to," I told myself. "This will be hard, but I can do it and will do it." Well, things aren't always what they seem are they? I sure enough became overwhelmed and ready to explode. Not quit, which is a first reaction for anyone who gets overwhelmed, but fighting (Muay Thai) has taught me otherwise. I knew that what was all happening were all good and beneficial things to/for my life, but I just bite more off than I could chew....at least at first I thought I did. Sooner than later, I came to an understanding with myself and my mind that I have taken this on because I know I can do it, but nothing is quite what it seems from an exterior perspective. We all think one way about something until if hits us in the face or doesn't work out the way we thought it would. We learn from this and MUST take things for what they are and deal with the things that are put right in front of us at any given moment in time. Because it CAN be done. It just depends on how hard you are willing to work for it and make it happen.
On June 30th, 2013 I asked the most amazing, beautiful, perfect, kind, loving, caring, generous, respectful and hottest young woman I have ever met to marry me. I personally never thought I was the type of guy who would EVER get married and have a family and fall in love. But I have and I will. And since then we have been planning, planning and more planning for our big day. On top of this, we are both is school. She is currently student teaching and getting her degree, along with a teaching licensure, in history. This is what I got my bachelors degree in as well and one of the main reasons we kicked it off so well from the beginning. I am getting my masters in special education and teaching licensure too. So we are both pretty much constantly busy keeping up with school work and the whole nine yards that comes with it. Including 30 hours of field experience...On top of this, I am working two different jobs and work about 4-5 days a week. My dog just had knee/ACL surgery, which is easier to handle than I thought because I moved back in with my parents, until February when I move into our new house that Lyly's parents got for us, and they help keep a good eye on my other best friend BoB the bulldog :) With this, I am constantly studying and working, trying to get to training or at least work out so I don't get stressed and all the while keeping my head on straight. These days I barely have time to myself, let alone with my fiancé. It is all NOTHING to bitch about, but rather something to be grateful for and reminded that I am thankful to have the people in my life that I do. You all know who you are because you are in our wedding, coming to our wedding, or I have let you know where you stand in my life and without you all I am nothing. So thank you for being you and extending your support to LyLy and I whenever it is needed.My conclusion with and to my thesis is that all men and women are created EQUALLY! Some may be academically smarter, physically smarter or faster/talented, better at other things than we are, but we are ALL the same!! Although coming in different shapes, sizes, colors, ways and approaches, we are all made from the same thing and come from the same place. Not the same woman, or same culture, ethnicity or even from the same ideologies, but we either walk, talk, move, look, turn, sound, sit and yearn for the same things. Who doesn't want a successful life? Who doesn't want to eat, drink, survive and and enjoy each day and have a smile on their face? When people don't it's because they are doing something that is NOT making that happen or smile appear.
Live, Love, Laugh, Dream and Shoot Big!! YOU are in control!!!
