What's good y'all? I hope everyone's being doing all right. It's been a tough time for all of us, I know. Personally, I don't know anyone whose property has been affected by the wildfires but sadly enough, I've had a friend named Marc who recently got into a serious motorcycle accident last Sunday during the build-up of all of these fires. I hate to say that I've been more caught up with all of this wildfire @#%$, but my prayers with my homie. Basically, It's been a stressful time for me and thousands of families, but it's important to realize that there a few positive things that we can take from these recent experiences.
As cliche as it may sounds, time will heal all wounds. I can't begin to imagine how much $$$ is going to be put into rebuilding our beautiful city but after all is said and done, we will prevail from this. I know that my friend Marc has got a long road ahead of himself with rehabilitating, but being the strong person that he is, I know he'll be back up on his feet doing the damn thing once again.
Ironically, I happen to be posting this in a forum which epitomizes something that shouldn't matter too much right now but yet again, I'm speaking to you as if you were brothers of my own. Having said that, we gotta remember that's more to life than rags and kicks. Our families, friends and our own lives are what we truly live for. I'm sure we all have our own definitions of being 'blessed', but every now and then, it's important to remember where you come from, what you have and just how easily things can be taken away from you. Unfortunately, that's life but we have the ultimate power of controlling our destinies.
To be honest, I'm getting a little bit emotional as I finish this post. Some of you might not agree with what I have had to say, yet alone will think that I'm sort of wuss. But believe me, it takes a real man to get out there and express his deepest feelings. That's what I'm doing right now. But for the meantime, stay safe. Continue to watch the news. Do what you can to help! And pray. God bless y'all.
