Growth is such a scary journey
One moment you up, the next you down
We’ve been going through changes son
You toss, you turn
You toil, you labor
You believe, you have faith
Sometimes we just don’t know when it’ll stop
But maybe not
Maybe it will be like this forever
Maybe it might just never end
But we learn to unlearn to relearn yet again
That’s the cycle of life
Learning and growing
You are in a better mind state now
You might not have everything you’ve wished for
You might not even get all of it
But I’m very proud how you handled this year
21 was one hell of a ride boy
Give yourself some props
Being an young adult is no child’s play
Life is just ruthless from this point on
We will meet some careless people
People that will try to destroy and derail us
People who just don’t care any bits about you
Learn to love yourself my boy
This road will never get easy
Get your shield of faith on
Pit on your armor
Life will not always be by your side
Remember just to try at least
Die trying my boy
And a very, very beautiful birthday to you, Jonathan.
You’re now 22.
Keep on praying and believing
This Too Shall Pass!
