So a guy from McGill Reporter emailed me to ask me about my blog. Interesting.

Actually my life has been interesting from our neighbors who take naked pictures of themselves to the notes that come out of my rear end and having the ability to identify them. Yes. it definitely has been interesting.

I just want to say on a more serious note that life is totally worth living for even when you think your life is a pile of fecal matter just because you got dumped or your relationships don't work out. Hey, we've all been there but you're not fighting for your life nor living your life in fear of someone close to you passing on. Or maybe you are, but if you look at the little things, how you even have the privilege of reading my insignificant thoughts (i.e., you have access to a computer and have the money provided to do so), you most likely have a house/roof over your head, friends who definitely love you. (If I know you, I do care about you even if you don't know it.), and the list goes on. It's hard not to complain but hey, look outside, we've got air, we've got water, we probably have an education of some form or another, we all have our brains... life doesn't stop here. ... I can't stand it when people (even myself) start complaining about the challenges of my so - called life when people are dying from diseases and struggling to survive in war torn places... and I realize, man, I'm blessed... Either, i keep wallowing and be selfish and drown in self-pity and let life's beautiful opportunities fly by, or see what God's given me and make the best of it.

For me, I believe in God and believe in all the amazing things He's given me and just to see His glory revealed in creation and in people even though we screw up. but hey, we live we learn and hopefully, we live and learn the right way.

Live a lot, complain less. I think there's a good reason for whoever coined the term " stop and smell the flowers..."

Even Ralph Waldo Emerson says the key to success is :

"To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded."
