Oh dear friend, it's been too long.
Like always, there is plenty I'd love to say but in many respects, I think the fact that I couldn't always bring myself to writing about them speaks for itself. Since graduation, many events have come to pass. I have learned far more than I could have expected given the adventure that hasn't even begun yet, but I guess that's the whole point- every day is wrought with seeds of wisdom to be sown if our minds are fertile enough to house them.We then must guard them dutifully so they may grow That in mind, I saw an article somewhere about this Japanese practice called "Kintsukuroi". The idea is that when we make mistakes, bend and break, the suffering makes it more beautiful and therefore they beautify the scars with gold lacquer. I cannot say I have completed that process, but I believe I've at the very least started it, so there's that.
I will be teaching English in South Korea in exactly one week and I'm pretty excited to finally feel like I'm getting moving with my life. Over the last month or so I've made the gym my home moreso than my childhood bedroom. Rugby has filled my time to avoid feeling like a bump on a log and that has gone well. For the first time in a long time, I got to play alongside my little brother and show the state of Texas what we can do as a duo. It's one of my dreams to one day be able to play on the same team as him long term, and if it could potentially be on the next level, oh man. It wouldn't get any better than that. I've built some bridges that have saved me, and stumbled across a couple of others that might no longer be there. But all the same,
God is great
Life is good
And I'm okay
