My 14 Rules To Happiness & Success
Over the past ten years my youthful innocence has disappeared and reemerged. I have experienced many life lessons through the trials and tribulations of drug addiction, thievery, heartbreak, death, failure, depression, anxiety, and disappointment. My highs have reached distant peaks while my lows have cascaded into the abyss; I've seen a lot in my 22 years. Maybe a memoir wouldn't be appropriate at my age but my stories must be shared. The mistakes and missteps have brought me to my knees time and time again; these experiences have provided me with a platform to rebuild the foundation of my life. I will do just that.

The past is real, I have no doubt about this - It fuels me in my future endeavors. The fading memories sink into my soul with a certain vibrancy that has become oh so familiar as of late. I believe that I've finally reached the fork in the road, the one that so many have spoken about in the past.

It's time to evolve. It's time to grow. It's time to talk less and do more. It's time to seize the talents that I've been blessed with. It's time to spread the love in my heart. It's time to work. Go out into the world, do exactly what you feel; act on the feeling in your heart without worry or regret.

These are the lessons that my life has taught me so far. I hope they speak to others someday. All I can do is live them to the best of my ability.
