Things have been going well, I have lost weight and anger, I have gained wisdom and lost a few shitty friends. I am slowly becoming better at being a person, and become worse at being an ass. I still stick to what I said though. Good person, but a shitty friend. You have to help people, even people you don't like, or don't want to help. You have to. Its the only way to live, is to just be good. Not all the time, not every day, but as many times as you can manage just be good. Its not a hard concept to live by, in fact I think if I can manage it with my plethora of faults, then more of you can. It is as simply as "do you need a hand with that?" When did we become so self absorbed that we stopped seeing the people around us. I partly blame technology for keeping our eyes and ears down, and mostly blame ourselves. We get far to rapped up in the little things, because they are even more everywhere then they were before LCD screens came along. Watch the world, look out for the little old lady with to many groceries to carry, or the bloke who needs a push start on the corner. Be better, be good, help those who are afraid to ask for it.
Explore. Another thing I worry about it with the younger generations is the need to go out and find the new. No new Xbox, or PlayStation or Ipad. When was the last time you went somewhere new for the sake of seeing it. For the sake of experiencing something real and something different. Looking at the world from the top of a mountain or the very end of the beach to nowhere. Get out of your house, get out of your car, leave your phone behind. Turn the soundtrack to your life up to ten and just go somewhere. It doesn't have to be far, it jut has to be different.
See new things, find new smells, discover parts of yourself you never knew you had simply by going places you have never been. Challenge yourself to get outside, to try something new. Hell, go to a crazy restaurant or a boring museum, push yourself to do the things you didn't think you could. Take one small step and see how many follow the first. Go crazy, go hiking, go jumping out planes and diving underwater. Live. Be alive. Be free.
Always be free.
