The journey toward being a good guy isn’t one of weakness, it is one of strength. To reflect on where I have failed and how I try to grow isn’t to garner sympathy or redemption points, it’s to help create more happiness for myself with the understanding that being a kind, compassionate, and emotionally healthy person will invite healthy relations from others.

In order to become who you want to be, you have to love yourself enough to believe you deserve to be who you want to be.

Humans have this phenomenal tendency to get stuck in the moment. We get stuck in our own memories – sometimes lamentations of a past we can’t let go, or saccharine memories we don’t want to forget. Moments are the defining lines of the fullness of our lives, they are the destinations on the road trip of human experience.
