Day 15 - This is my Journal cover. I wanted to have something that felt premium, because I wanted the person to look forward to becoming that which they envisioned on becoming. That premium version of themselves.
Day 16
Day 1 Entry: The Thing Never Said
IDay Action: ’m scared I’ll reach the end of my life and realize I spent more time surviving than truly living.

An unreleased song, but this song is exactly what that one sentence is describing. This song was a way for me to say that I long to dream to live my life with those I care for and love and enjoying the gifts life has to offer.

Daily Actions: Emotions I felt this week:
Shame
Disappointment
Anger

Scared
Hopeful
Unsure
Soundtrack: Roses - Roses is a song where I reflected on the passing of my dad, and how I process what the meaning for life is for me and how do I navigate life and death.
Day 3 Entry: The Unsent Letter
Hey Buddy,
Daily Action:
It's weird that I'm addessing the you who I used to be. I know you're scared and living in days where it feels like your parents don't see you. I know you're too young to understand and wonder if life would get better, because being so young, The family you grew up with in the environment that you did, it's tough to understand what better is.
I'm not proud to say that we haven't made it to where we would feel great, but I need you to know something. I know we will. I know we will be exactly where we've always dreamt of being and that's just being the us that just wanted to have fun while being surrounded by love. I have that faith, and I'm not going to stop trying till I know we have made it.
This life isin't easy, and you are enduring a lot of it at such a young age. It's weird to even say this, but you are stronger than you think you are. You are brave to keep fighting just to continue to keep going.
One day You and I are going to look back and realize.....we have survived everything that tried to convince us that we wouldn't, and for that......I am proud of you.
It's weird to address you when i'm no where near close to the end, but it's cool to know that you still play a pivotal role in how I continue to move. I love you.....
Forever and Always.
Soundtrack: Everything
Everything is a love letter that I wrote directed to my 2nd love. At the time we were going through our break up, but I wanted to write something to let her know and let myself understand that she was everything to me and that was a beautiful experience.
Day 4 Entry: Before It Happened
Daily Action:
I was the person who believed in heroes existing. The person who laughed deeply, and unapologetically. I remember being the kid who wouldn't wait to get home from school, turn it to cartoon network at 5pm and watch Dragonball Z. The kid who used to run down the stairs and into the snow just because I saw the streets covered in it. Where Christmas was exciting, and knowing family would get together and bring me to watch the next wrestling PPV upstairs. I remember the friday night movie outings with my mom, dad, and little brother.
Soundtrack: Today is the perfect song. It's not something that reminds me of innoncence but It's a song about new beginning and living in your present moment. To live and enjoy is to be.
Will work on the next 3 days hopefully tomorrow.
