I've changed for the better. I am not the person I was 2 years ago, and don't ever plan to look back. I wondered back then what my life looked like in the future and I could never see one. Things are crazy for me now. I see things differently and more meaningful. I was helpless, I was torn, I was a lost young man, until I opened my eyes and realized the plans God has for me. I am happy, I laugh more, I love hard, and I am full of life.
I love these three words because they aren't just words for me, they are what I possessed in my life that made me who I am today, and what I am no longer from yesterday. I look at many of my peers that I grew up with make poor decisions in their life, and continue to make those same mistakes. I am no perfect person, but if there is a way for me to transition into a better Rodney, by all means that is what I going to do. I've gotten tired with set backs and failing that I have decided to make things right with myself and continue. I don't want to be a person that had a past, and had no future because of it. I want to make a difference in my life, and maybe differences in the lives of others along the way. I have a little brother that looks up to me, and I will be a role model to that young man in the making. I refuse to let him fall in the same traps I deliberately fell into when I was his age. My past was not the best of me, it took the best in me and turned it into something better for me. |
