            I went through a rough patch with my faith a long time ago. I struggled, failed, and almost lost myself. But, I came back from rock bottom and am better for it. I found that faith is something more than just struggle. Something beautiful. This song was written when remembering a different time. Cheers to being able to look in the mirror and reflect.

            Love might be going a bit far, but I do like it.  The term is more like a metaphor to describe the way that I have become enamored with Filipino culture. I grew up with Filipino friends who I am still very close with, but never took a deeper look. Only after dating my girlfriend have I come to appreciate its intricacies. I appreciate the family orientated nature of the culture. Not to mention the food is amazing. It reminds me of the Mexican families I grew up with in Eastern Washington, before moving to Tacoma. All I remember from those times are the parties. The reason I write this is because I went on a youth camping trip recently, and had the pleasure of having a mother and Filipino chef, cook all the food. I’m use to eating hot dogs and hamburgers while camping, so it was refreshing to have real food accompanied with rice for every meal. There is a lot more than the food to the culture but its a good starting point. I still have a lot to learn and am glad I can do it with someone I genuinely care for. Cheers to new cultures and fabulous food.

            Seeing how the majority of my time is spent in the concrete jungle known as Tacoma, I sometimes forget that I live in Washington, otherwise known as the “Evergreen State”. I’m more use to concrete under my sneakers than grass, but its nice to be reminded of my home states natural beauty. Mountain ranges and forests are a daily site, but most often glanced at a distance. The few memories I have from the couple years I spent in Eastern Washington as a kid are vague at best, but I do remember the landscape. Acres upon acres of apple trees and cliffs dominate my memory. Maybe I need to get out of the city more often. Though, I love how Western Washington is a mixture of Urban expanses and Natural Landscapes. Best of both worlds.  Cheers to living in a truly stunning area.

“Absence makes the heart grown fonder”

           
            Its funny how you don’t fully appreciate something until it’s gone. Since leaving, I’ve also come to realize the strength of the bond that we’ve built. Disheartening to know I still have a good bit of time until I see her face. The distance has taught me a few things about myself though. Or at least clarified some things that I’ve been pondering. I shouldn’t be afraid to bear it all. Especially when I’m sure of it for the first time. Too long, and too far. Cheers to coming together again and taking chances.
