My second family that I love dearly.
Louis “Momma” Has shown a great deal of inspiration in my life and I am glad to have met a person like him because he has helped me prove the odds of life and man. Being a man of color, HIV+, and gay doesn’t prove that you have to live like what the world procive you to be. Knowing that people look at you, as a statistic doesn’t mean you have to live like one and go down the long dreary path that many have chosen. There is more to life. Many may to see it but, I see it, seen it and heard it what I am going to do is act on it. People who have driven down the wrong can drive back out with patience, strength, knowledge, and perseverance. When we try to prove things or tasks for others it can’t be done because you are not putting yourself in it. When we do things for ourselves it can be done, yes we may need an extra little push from our loved ones but when you think about it you are the one in control of everything. That’s why when I do things I defy the society knowing that I can do all things when I put my mind to it. My brother Davone has been through a lot in his 21 years of living its funny how we met in grammar school by him bullying me, lol. What he went through has sure made him stronger and a better man today. When I look at him I see greatness, I see a person who defied society, who’s on the right track to accomplishment and wants more to life. Talking about life challenges can bring you back to the emotional and good times, being able and having the courage to tell to it others knowing that you are inspiring and saving someone’s life feels good. Going back to college s one of the greatest accomplishments Davone can ever do. When I also look at him I see myself doing the same thing, I can’t allow what others put against me to reality. I am going to prove to myself that I can do this and will do it. Saying it and doing it are to completely different sayings. If you want to do something you have to follow behind it, meaning well in what we say can show different expressions its up to you to find it out and how you can make it work to your best interests. Even though there are times where I get so down I don’t want to think about the future I just want to get away from all the drama but, that right there is the wrong way out. I am built to withstand anything that comes my way whether its school, work, friends, and even family. I want to prove to myself and not others that I can do all things possible. You can do it too once you have the drive and strength to do it.
*REMEMBER THESE WORDS*
Don’t speak the negative but, yet positive things into to your life and you shall see in due time what you rewards will come to be.-Timothy.D
