Day 18: He Say, She Say

Today was pretty excellent!! Have a great day at work! I made my 4th sale of the week and we are starting to be placed into our programs. I got into one of the two programs I wanted and I'm super stoked!!! My friend has a good opportunity coming up so I want y'all to wish her luck! I really have never felt so good in my life. Everyday that goes by I feel like it is getting easier and easier. I feel the change, I see the change, and others experience the change. Today's food included : bananas , strawberries, spinach , almonds , pineapple , cherries, beets, apples , steak , chicken , a hamburger , and water!! Another successful day!

Today's topic : He Say She Say- Lupe Fiasco

So if you have not heard the song in question then go to YouTube and look it up now. You can read on without it but I will be referencing it.... so continue without at your own risk. The song is clean so no worries about foul language for those opposed to it haha.

In the song , lupe depicts the life of a boy growing up without a father and of a single mother raising a child on her own. Lupe is such a great story teller that I tear up every time I hear the song. The challenges the mother and the son go through without the father around really moves me. I was blessed with an amazing father who is my best friend. My family impacted my life more than you could ever imagine. They have helped mold me into the man I am and the man I aspire to be. I couldn't be more thankful for my family. Between my parents who make sure I have clean non processed foods to eat, to my sister who supports and motivates me at every turn , and my brother by getting his own life together has inspired me to do the same, I am truly blessed.

Being best friends with my dad allowed me to learn many life lessons that I would have missed had I been a little shithead all the time. The fact that me and my dad are so close allowed me to learn how hard work and focus can lead to great things . I love you pops

My mom is the greatest woman on the planet . Being close with my mother allowed me to learn the art of thoughtfulness. My mother is one of those people who does all of the little things just to make you smile. If you need help with something my mom will do everything she can to help. She has a love for people that truly glows. I love you momma

Sniffer. As rocky as the past few years may have been I am so blessed to be where we are now. I could've never done this without you. From driving me to finish school, to
You and Tim helping me with my resume, I couldn't have done this without you. I thank you for everything you've done for me. You've taught me that love is an action not a feeling . You would've moved the world to see me succeed and honestly , you moved my world. I love so very much

Ray, I am so proud of the man you have become. Going through what you've been through , losing faith, the whole nine.... and where you are now... bro it's unbelievable !! You work 2 jobs, you have a family, you have dreams, and goals. I'm so happy we have been able to grow closer over the past few years . I thank you for being a reminder that through God and hard work anything is possible . Love you so much bro.


I'll leave you with this:
The relationships I have with my family have enabled me to be the person I am today. Whether you get along with your family or not, they are your family and I promise they have something to teach you. I challenge you all to reach out to your family members and let them know that you love them , let them know they have taught you so much about their life, let them know you wouldn't be the person you are today or dream to be without them. Be active in your families lives....

Love you all

Chris, Heir of Slytherin
