Sometimes, just when you think it is all gonna start going your way, it doesn't. On Tuesday, as I was leaving Pleasanton, after I had an average session of hitting with Brett Benjamin, Ryan Winther, and Ryan Bartlett, I was involved in a traffic accident in which my car was totaled. This marks my third car, in less than 5 years to meet this fate. To say that I am a little annoyed, would be an understatement.
For me, life after college has been a complete and utter battle. Battle against myself, my needs, wants and desires of now, clashing with my needs, wants, and desires for the future. Everyday of our lives, we are forced to make this decision.
"Should I get my morning Starbucks, or should I save the money," is a small battle I have everyday.
Deciding, to head to Pleasanton, was a decision for my future, which still ended up badly. Sometimes you can do it all right and have it go wrong.
For me, on this particular evening I was supposed to be in a wreck, that totaled my vehicle. Why? Well maybe it was a wake up call for me to start enjoying life and stop looking at things so negatively. I easily could have met a far worse fate on Tuesday, but I sit here now telling my story. At the moment, I am driving my fathers 1998 Dodge Ram, that looks like it was in a demolition derby. Showing up for meetings, will be comical to say the least.
For now, I am mad about the my circumstance but am aware of the fact that it is on me to change it, up to me to get better, and through hard work I will. This minor setback, is but a blip on the grand scheme of my life and I couldn't feel more blessed to be alive.
-I'll be alright, see you on the Grid.
