Well, I am back in the city, where it all began. I commute 1.25 hrs per way via BART, not a bad deal considering I don't need to pay for transportation, nor do I need to focus on driving. As I leave the SF stations and find my route to the office, I begin to feel meaning again as I pass all these landmarks that play as a reminder. Embarcadero 2, a simple building that means nothing to many, but everything to me. This is where I first laid eyes on my destiny, the one and only, my wife. I pass this everyday on the way to work, and it reminds me of how far I, and we, have gone in this world. Almost 9 years from writing this now, and we still have eternity to go.

It's strange how much life can change, but what's more interesting is how much life can change due to one person. I am a firm believer that you can't change people, or at the very least it is extremely difficult to do so. but my wife was able to change me in ways that made me a better and stronger person. I was able to turn my stars around which gave me a clearer shot to the moon. I became more healthy since she was pretty healthy, and wanted to become more fit because of that. Made sure we had food on the table, so that pushed me to work harder and more efficiently at what I do to try to provide.  Returning to my roots in the spiritual realm of things. So much has changed in my life and I didn't really realize until now.

As we grow older, there are many characteristics and lifestyles that will change or be removed due to the ever changing environment we live in. I returned to just wanting a simple life. Not caring about looks, and expensive Flashing clothes. I didn't need to have cool shoes anymore, or cared about it. Honestly it was just survival at first, but was drawn back to a simple life.

I still walk pass this building every day, to keep me motivated, to keep me fresh. There is still so much more I have to offer, and I am just getting started.
