Never Looking Back

March 20, 2009

I am willing to change, and the change has started in me. I want to be a part of something big, something courageous. I want to be a part of an elite group that conquers addiction. I am proud to be a part of this journey of life through Caritas – something I am not ashamed of. I know there is something in this world for me. I am not a mistake in this universe and I know I am capable of great things. I want to be the front runner that moves the bar higher for our community and for people who follow my path of life.

Changing my direction in life has never been this scary, and through changing my energy into positivity I am becoming the man I was destined to be. My ambition to achieve, respect for myself and to be part of a family has no greater feeling. It was these feelings that I was running from for so long – feelings of true happiness, tears of joy and sorrow that separate us and make me proud of myself. It has been Caritas that has allowed me to grow and recognize my full potential.

When I look at my life presently, I know that going back is not an option and giving back I will never question. I have this burning desire to start everyday better than yesterday and knowing that my life is filled with new wonders – I am forever indebted. I had no idea 5 months ago that life could ever be this great!
