origins.

we all have an innate desire to know who we are and where we come from. even if we know who our parents are, we want to know our Creator, how we began, and what our purpose is. i'm not sure exactly where i came from, but i'm content with what i do know. i have been unimaginably blessed in so many ways; i wouldn't have had half of the opportunities i've had under different circumstances. no, my life isn't perfect, and yes, things could've gone differently/better, but that's the past. i'm looking forward. i thank God everyday for what he's given me, or at least i should.

don't forget to stop and look around and be thankful for what you have. we take so many things for granted and don't always realize how lucky we are.

thanks to all the friends and family who have gotten me this far.
