It has been far too long...

Long story short, it has been far to long since I have posted a blog. I have been busy, happy and overall good... as far as I would like to think. After another 4 months in the beautiful BVI, I have continued to learn more and more about myself, and what I want to do in my future both as a career and as a man.
Not only have I had many self realizations, I have also found out a lot about other people around me. Specifically those I call my family and friends.

Obviously, I have my biological family, that I love more than anything on the planet. After that, I definitely have developed a "BVI Family", the ones that if they were not there, the BVI would never be the same. They are some of the most incredible people I have ever known, both in their professional lives, but on a personal level as well. Being as mature as I would like to think of myself, it has always been a habit to have older friends. I always seemed to click better with those who were more set in a career or at least not living life on a whim. I tend to reflect on Plato in times like these, oddly enough (Thanks Moots.), and his classification of friendship. That when we are younger, we have friends for their "expediency", because they are convenient. As we grow older, friendships become something more. I guess this is something that we should all just know, it's common sense, at least to me it is...

I guess where this whole thing is going is that I am really understanding more about life, what is important, and not to let anyone ever hold me back and affect me. I've always cared what people thought, while being confident, still conscientious of those around me. Today is the day I stop caring.
