24

I just had my 24th birthday. Surprisingly I spent the day by myself but not alone. I was crowded by thoughts of all that's going to happen within the next year and all I accomplished in the past. I successfully set a stage on which I will "perform" and kick started the momentum that will carry me to success. I spent most of 23 studying the art of song writing and formally introduced my music to my peers. I grew as a writer, brother, son, friend, and above all I became a man. My hardships have given me a new appreciation for my name, which means "by the grace of God", which I've worn as a vest of protection against failure. My faith has increased as has my ego for I know there isn't anyway I did this on my own. Being alone has increased my appreciation of family and opened my eyes to false friends. All illusions have been broken and blinders removed. I am ecstatic about the 24th year of my life as I finally feel prepared to "show my chops". I want to thank everyone who has supported me, I love you, and hope you stick around to witness what the grace of God is about to do! God bless
