i've been in recovery from my knee surgery i had 2 weeks ago & its been a task. i'm not use to having to wait to do certain things & certainly not use to being confined one area for hours at a time. i've had to put my pride to the side & allow others to help me out. i'm not stubborn but i've also been taught to do things for myself. i can honestly say i'm missing VA Beach right now, with everything thats going on & this whole knee thing, but i think if i were back in VA Beach right now, all banged up, i think it would torment me more knowing that i'd be in my known element & can't have any fun in it. i was told the other night that i possibly haven't gotten what i need to learn or gain from being out here in Dallas from my homeboy & after thinking about it for a few days, he's right. i've never been known to back down or give up on anything that i know i can overcome so its like, why start now? i've been through worse, down to actually being homeless - i should be able to handle a few mouths, slanted eyes, a couple screws in my kneecap & restless nights when sleep is important. 
i've had plans set to be in Cali & now with a second option of Chicago. i miss VA but i don't think imma learn & get further in where i need & want to be if i go back home anytime too soon.. i believe there's a silver lining somewhere in all of this thats happened, going on & WILL be happening in the near future, so once again, i've exhibit some kinda patience. i know i can't take over the world right now & thats fine. thats been my plan since day one.. but for right now, as its been for the 18-20months, its all in planning, patience & persistence; having faith in knowing i've got the strength to handle all of whats going on. i found out not too long ago that even though alotta people don't know my story, alotta people look up to me & see me as inspiration & motivation. i gotta keep going for those who watch me to let them know that overcoming is possible.
