Some friendly advice
Just thinking back over my life, a long, sometimes sad journey, spent most of it just surviving living payday to payday, doing what ever had to be done. Was doing a man’s work at the age of eight. Didn’t really have a child hood. Not much time for myself, seems I have always had a family to care for, and I took it very serious and did my best. Never took much time just to enjoy life. Now I am older things have finally come together and I do have time for me, hell, even have the money. For the first time in my life I can do pretty much just for me, I feel like a scared kid just starting out and ready to enjoy the world and all it has to offer. Why did I have to wait so long.
What I am trying to tell all of you is to take time for yourselves now, life is short, hell, mine is about over, before long I wont be able to do much, age is catching up fast. It makes me sad to think of all the years I spent just surviving. I have a good friend ten years younger than me that has done the same thing as me, in different ways of course, his past, as mine, has caught up to him in a very bad way due to Agent Orange. He will not be able to enjoy life now as he should be able to. Don’t wait till you feel you can, as my friend and I have, life is to precious to waste just getting by. Take time to smell the roses and watch the sunsets, tell someone you love them. I know its not easy sometime, make that most of the time, just do it.
