Lies adults told me.

Remember that time I drove to Texas twice in 3 weeks? Yeah me too. Family is supposed to be the ties that bind. Sometimes those ties are severed and you have to keep truckin' along like everything is fine and hunky dory. LIES haha, it's okay to not be okay if you're taking care of yourself. Sometimes that's really hard for people to hear. This weekend my mom told me "I keep thinking if Brody can be alone then I can do it." This was really hard for me to hear. I didn't magically become okay with being alone. I was forced to deal with a hard situation and I chose to rise above it. Everyone has rough situations and deals differently but the very rare few know right away what to do. There's beauty in the chaos of trying to revive a life that's long since lost. Only if you have the courage and strength to look forward to the future and make a difference in your own life. I'm not a life coach, or exceedingly successful in this world. I struggle and make mistakes. But I learn, and I use them to my advantage. There's a difference between learning and giving up. It's really important to be thankful for those who have gotten you this far, but even more important to have faith in yourself. To know you'll be okay on your own. At the end of the day, you're all you've really got. So live it up, make good choices and don't take life for granted.

Stay Tuned

Today I was asked what my autobiography would be titled and why... I thought on it and realized that my title would probably be "The Broken Pieces" because I'm the collaboration of a broken person put back together. I know that I've been through a lot and it makes you stronger but I've been so broken down and beaten that sometimes I even wonder how I made it this far. I'm really thankful for all the love and support in my life :) haha. Sometimes I just get a little lost. Which happens to a lot of us. Today was such a beautiful day... I think I'm starting to open my eyes more to opportunity and see what this world really has to offer. As well as the great people in it. I hope to continue finding myself and pushing my boundaries. I also hope I can learn to live in a way that I've always wanted... by respecting and loving others. It's important I hold onto those values and get back my personality without being angry and mean. I'm really going to try to make the best out of this coming year. It's going to be epic :) stay tuned. ;)
