I can’t tell you how much this excites me. It’s invigoratingly entoxicating. I could live off of it all day. To be present when someone’s passion is igniting is one of the most beautiful things in the world that a person can witness. Whether it be about chess, jewelry, carving wood, drawing, saving lives, taking photos, what have you, it’s just a gorgeous site to see.

One of these is not like the other.

It hasn’t been too long since I sat down with the intentions to play a video game. The last time that actually happened was  around 2002. My twin brother and I lived for those things. Crash Bandicoot; PGA Tour; Tony Hawk; Tekken; and among many others, EA Sport’s NBA. Although I thoroughly sucked at most of the sports, I can proudly say that it takes more than one hand to count the number of times I beat my brother. However, you know what I cannot count? The number of times I saw advertising on the screen.

Now, the game has changed (bad pun intended). My cousin who is only 7 years younger than I cannot turn on his NBA video game without seeing HP or Gatorade clearly displayed on the screen. I don’t really have a side when it comes to child advertising, just as long as it doesn’t cross any moral lines (photo shopped kids, inappropriate clothing, sexism, etc).

Funny how ten years changes things.

Spoiler Alert!

Spoiler Alert. My deepest condolences go out to those who hate a revealed ending but I just got word today that this thing called life, it actually turns out okay.

It has not been a full week since I finished my last class of college and already the fears of my post-grad mind find themselves making a comfortable nook in the forefront of my thoughts. There are a multitude of things that I need to do and want to do, especially in the next few months but time seems to be evading me everyday. It’s as though for every item crossed off, three more attach themselves to the list. Since being productive seems to be getting me nowhere there was only one thing left to do: complain and whine about it to mom. (She always seems to have the most genuine and heartfelt advice. My dad on the other hand, his words to me were, “Why haven’t you gotten a job yet? What do you plan on doing these next few months?”) Good thing my mom was quick to remind me that EVERYONE who has ever finished college has gone through what I’m are going through. It comes with the territory of transitioning into something new. She reminded me that I cannot control what follows because that’s God’s job. The best thing for me to do is to give everything up to Him and then take it one day at a time.

So, with that said, to anyone who is has finished and will finish any big step in life - not just college - chill, trust, and go. It all turns out pretty rad in the end.
