Family has always been the paramount support in my life, a fusion of spirits whos’ love you prize above all else, unconditionally conditional on their happiness. Family should be safe, an acknowledgement that you’re reflected in each other, infinitely soldered but revered as delicate in its’ breadth of influence. As a boy, I can distinctly remember nights of flash forward future sight trying to manifest my own family unit, my agape. At the time, a precocious sentiment that swelled in me until maturity, laying the foundation for my current reality.
We move through life in sinus rhythm, waxing and waning to test our confidence and aptitude to move on our desires. In 2011, at 21 years young, I grabbed the bull by the horns, seizing a near ten year relationship and the resulting safe haven that I envisioned so many nights ago. Then and there, I declared that I met my wife, however inebriated my mind, baby I was love drunk. As people, we begin as the raw building blocks of our reality, restricted by overthought and liberated by throwing caution to the wind cautiously. Predictability, however sound, is mute to lifes’ adventurous nature. Not to be confused with blatant disregard for the world we live in, simply a reminder that our bodies produce electricity for a reason. The existential impact of honing that energy resulted in my regal synergy, EST. on 09.05.2015. 2011’s premonition.
The prospect of being a father was one that I had always held in high regard, unwavering in my commitment to fill a generational gap, abandoned- but offset by my steady scaffold, my warrior mother. A woman of unparalleled strength, support and courage for her children, sometimes while walking on stilts- Evelinas daughter.
Its funny how in my experience, devastation gave way to hope, a light that shines so profoundly that Ive been conditioned to harvest it where I thought nothing would grow. Geminis aristocracy had been infinitely complimented by the arrival of our daughter, life’s sublime focal point and treasure.
And if nothing else…
In the midst of lifes’ pitfalls, I maintained the course, explored uncharted waters, shattered obstacles, unrelenting and in refusal of letting go of my boyish stargaze that I pushed to fruition.
