I had an email touch my heart this morning. A friend of mine lost a dear friend to violence. His name was Matt Garcia, age 22 and he had been shot. I have no words of wisdom. I don’t always understand the “whys” in life and death. My friend shared Matt’s one and only blog written days before his death. It seemed appropriate to share this young man’s words of wisdom.
From Wednesday, August 27, 2008 —MY LIFE, Current mood: blessed, Catagory: Goals, Plans, Hopes
Well I should be in bed but I thought to myself, I have never wrote a blog in my entire myspace life and I been having this “principal in my head”. I will keep it short and straight to the point. I been thinking about my life and it is not complete but it is getting there. I thought about the things I have accomplished over the years it has truly been a blessing. It just shows people when you put your mind to something you can make it happen. I still haven’t accomplished everything, but I am working towards it and I believe if it is God’s Will, it will happen. All of us have goals but they are all different, hold on let me take that back, they could be the same but with different agendas. I just see the potential in our generation to make things happen. Some other people in past generations, and sometimes in my case our generation don’t feel that way but let’s prove them wrong. That is what drives me proving people wrong when they think I CAN’T but then, I keep making things happen. It feels good but at the same time you wonder why these people can’t stand you or like you. There are people that don’t support anything you ever do but if you prove to them you can, they can still hate, but “Who looks Stupid”? Exactly!!! But this is one of those things I learned and wanted to share with my friends on myspace. Everyday we learn something new. Take life as a test and shoot for a better score each day. It doesn’t have to be an “A” the next day, but let’s hope it improves. Hope you can use this one day when you feel the way I feel right now!!!!
God Bless
