We are about to enter a season of blessings and success, I can feel it.

With all the challenges and obstacles I face, I know that something great is just around the corner. This time last year was different than now, life has gotten better, opened up new doors for me. One year from now life will be drastically different as well, with new blessings and new opportunities. But there is one thing that doesn't change too much in my mind, the people.

I have this uncanny sense that success is close at hand, and there is only so much more to endure before God blessings come abundantly. It's important to me to take this time to give thanks to the people that are with me and that care about me, and that I reciprocate the same emotions for. Y'all (this is the first time I've used that word, shoutout JP) are what keeps me going, and what makes everything worth it.

I want the success, the wealth, everything, but it means nothing to me if I don't have genuine people to share in the blessings when I get there. That's why it's so vital to me to keep the bonds I have formed with so many people, because I do truly care.

I'm not going to list names, not because I'm afraid to forget someone, but because I'm speaking relatively broad. Each person in my life plays a role and is special to me in some way. But the important piece to the puzzle is that you are all there. People that I've known for my entire life, or people that I have maybe only met once have had versatile impacts upon me, and I try to channel the individual energy into my own growth. Other people mold who a person becomes, as the saying goes, "you are a product of your environment." It's so very true, which is why I care about my circle of influence so much.

Sometimes I argue, sometimes I'm busy, and sometimes I simply don't make time for certain people. It sounds corny but it's true, you guys are always on my mind. I'm always thinking about certain people and how they affect me. I appreciate the support from you all. Whether it's being a therapist, a spontaneous adviser, someone who reads my articles, a caretaker, and influence, or just a friend to hang out with, you all are in my thoughts and prayers. You're all loyal, and it goes a long way

I draw meaning from everything, so I often linger in a positive way on simple conversations, connecting the meaning to our lives. It's intricate and confusing to relay that comprehension, but the point stands; thank you. I wouldn't be where I am without you people, and I would not have the chance to go wherever I'm supposed to go without you either.

Life is a journey, and I intend to bring all of you with me to share in my dreams. Sometimes you have this intuition when something amazing is on the verge of happening. You get a couple signs, some conformation to go along with that gut feeling that you know. Well, I know, and I know who I care about and who cares about me, who I can classify as 'we.'
