Temples of Nara
It’s been a crazy fucking year. Can’t believe it’s almost over. By the time you read this it’ll probably already be 2018. Never a dull week or month.
There were definitely some challenging days for sure. I saw friends lose jobs. I had my own growing pains adulting. Through it all, personally, this year was a triumph for me.
Last year was so lousy. I was just trying to fucking survive. After finally standing up and gathering a positive outlook again I just ran towards my goals, my dreams, everything I wanted.
There’s no one I’m more grateful to than my mother and family. They always want the best for me and always support me. I never appreciated them enough until these last two years. I’m blessed to have them all.
My mom more than anyone has been there for me. I appreciate our relationship and everything you do for the family. We owe you a debt we cannot repay.
I want to thank my employer and my co-workers for that. They gave me an opportunity to pick myself up and make good on everything they gave. I was able to get a car, an apartment in North Park, and the allowance to travel.
I got to go to Japan, man. Always wanted to go and I got to see that beautiful wonderful country with one of my best friends. I also got to see my oldest friend in Sacramento again.
I’ve been so fortunate over these last two years despite any difficulties I’ve dealt with. I’m a lot stronger and situated thanks to everyone at RA.
Also gotta shout to the best friends you could have. Greg, I don’t have to say anything. You know what you done for me and everyone. I think for anyone out there next year is gonna be yours. Go get that grind and take it.
Jake, look at you man. Look how far you’ve come and now you’re gonna be some big time producer. Just don’t forget us regular folks when you’re crafting fire with Eminem or something.
Andrew, keep living the dream. Pat yourself on the back more. You’ve done so much this year. Take a minute and be proud of yourself. We’re all proud.
So many people I gotta thank. Amelia you’re the best roommate. Funny we ended up as roommates in the first place I was, maybe still little bit, such boy in school. I appreciate how awesome and inclusive you are with people.
You have nothing but my respect and you already know that. Super blessed we’re homies just living the dream in hipster paradise.
To my RA peoples, Cameron and Rhue you guys nurtured me from the beginning. I’m appreciative to not only have worked together but also being your friend. Good things come to those give their goodness to others. I know good things are in store for you.
To everyone else at RA, you guys have all made an impact with me. I really appreciate everyone there. Thanks for putting up with me, I’m kinda difficult sometimes. Despite that people still treat me with decency.
More than anyone though, Jamie you’re my best and the best Batman ever. You know I have no problem being the pretty boy Robin. We’re the best team and I feel like we can take over the world. You’re also a dear friend and I can never imagine it being any different.
So funny right? I never thought we could team up when we meet. Now we joke about it all the time. I’m so grateful for you and hope you know that. Go Bama! And just win baby!
