One of those times

Where you feel completely happy. Just one point in your life where you know everything is complete. I feel I have come to this point in my life. No, Im not married yet, I have no family of my own, no house, etc. But I feel great. And let me explain why.

Everyone says that "things" happen for a reason. I never believed it and never felt that thats the way it worked. My life has had its ups and downs. Ive down a lot of stuff, experienced a lot of stuff, and traveled to many places already in my young life. I believe it was my dad who quoted me the "everything happens for a reason". For a small amount of time, I wanted to tell him he was full of shit. Until very shortly I realized he was right. I cant say that I have been any happier in my life than I am right now. And let me tell you why.

I like to believe that your life is half mapped out/half created by yourself. And I believe the mapped out part was a huge reason why I am so happy right now. It started when I turned 16. I got my license, insurance, gas, etc. I needed a job and had very little saved up. Well, living in shitty Tamaqua and no jobs open, destiny had it that I would end up working in Lehighton at Long John Silvers. I was nervous as I met new people and what not. I quickly opened up to a lot of people. And the same day they hired me, McDonalds in my town had called me for an interview. Too bad that Long John Silvers had already hired me and gave me my uniform and what not. I turned McDonalds down. So I began working, and after about a year or so, met a girl from Arbys side. Arbys/LJS were connected. I had an ass of a relationship at the time, and slowly thought this girl was cute/fun to hang with. My ass relationship ended terribly, and my dad gave me that "shitty" advice. Well I went on a drunken binge that summer near the end and ended up talking with this girl throughout August. We hung out and ended up eventually dating. Her parents intially gave me some crap because in my opinion I believed they were testing me. To see if I really wanted to be with her or not. And we came past this point and almost 2 years later here we are.

So what am I saying. I am saying that I love my life and couldnt be happier. I dont make any money at my job and work hard/long hours. I have a few good friends, rather than a lot of fake friends, but I would go to war with them. I love my family and I am starting to see how important they are/how much they influence me. I love my girlfriend and her family and feel like they are family of my own. I would go to war with them as well. I feel like I am so close to my friends, girlfriend, family, and girlfriends family. I really dont care that I dont make the most money and cant afford a house now because I know one day working this job it will pay off. And a lot of people ask why I dont make more money. I think he is trying to work me from the bottom so I dont get a big head, but one day it will all pay off. And I dont care what people think or where other people are in their career, because I will be there one day.

So I am really saying that my life is taking a new beginning. We will see where I am in a few years, but I know I will be living better and having a better life that most of the people that have doubted me in the past. My life is exactly where I want it to be right now, and I couldnt be happier
