Youthful Life: X

The 20s are all about knowing who you come from. Family is one of those uncanny things in life. We have no say in the family we are born into and go through life making our own picking people along the way. The one we are given may not always be the best for us but many a times there is an underlying connection unlike any other you may ever have. Whenever I am with mine I never feel more loved, safe, and secure. Sure we have our bouts, quips, and quarrels but when it's all said and done we are indestructible unit. Each and every one of us is special in their own right. With my family I get to be the little prince.

My mom always shares a few memories of her time with me in my early childhood that never cease to make my smile. When my mom was carrying my little siste...

Just noticed that lately that my blog posts have been getting more and more personal.

It's like an autobiography up in here. Any who, what constitutes a father? That's a big question to ask and there's really no definite answer. To me a father is someone who cares about you, a child, and goes out of t...

Being a teenager means having to deal with your parents. Yesterday was father's day and with me being home alone with just my dad, it was an interesting day. Hanging out with my dad is always an adventure because we literally are the exact same person. Some people say they might be their father's sons, but my dad calls me his carbon copy. Like we couldn't be any more genetically or personality-wise, similar. It was a fun filled day. It always geeks me out whenever we're on the highway on the way to church and people stare at us. Why yes the jealousy and confusion on your face is real, and what you're seeing truly is amazing. Two strapping men cruising in a luxury vehicle looking classy. From another long day at church we went to Applebees to get our grub on. After that we went home and did some loan work, let me tell you applying for loans is a long boring process, that I know nothing about, than goodness my dad knows what he's doing or else I'd not be going...
