Many emotions have come and gone in January. I have lost and gained pieces of myself.
This is a post written on February 8th 2025

It was the first month of the year, and my entire life had changed forever.
My baby boy was born this month, and he is healthy and happy. He is a calm baby who cries less than three times a day. My daughter, who is two years old, loves him and helps my wife care for him throughout the day.
I moved into a new 2-bedroom apartment, and it is in the center of stores, food, highway, and parks, and my family and I are enjoying ourselves for the time being.
This is the start of my wife’s and my journey as parents. For the past two years, we have been living at my parents’ house, and now we are ready to start our journey of creating our own home.
I work with my dad (he owns his own painting business), and I have been for ten years now. This month has been one of the busiest months we have ever had. We had tons of apartments to paint across Central Florida, and we had to paint 24 floors in 5 buildings.
In one month, a lot has happened, from moving, and preparing for my wife to give birth, a newborn, a 2-year-old older who turned two in January, to a lot of work.
Throughout this month, there were high emotions, and my perspective on life and relationships has shifted.
Up to this point, I always wanted to maintain relationships with people and try my best to keep everything balanced, but now I no longer have a desire to do so.
My main focus is my wife and kids.
I want to provide for them, comfort them, shelter them, and love them.
My brain is shifting to only thinking about them and our new lives, which is a new feeling and concept to me because I always put my brothers, sisters, nieces, cousins, parents, and grandparents first, then my wife, then me, but now it is my wife first, my kids, me, and then the rest of my family and friends.
I don’t know if this is the right way to think or live, but it is what my gut feeling is telling me to do, so I am following it because I would rather live a life following my soul than a life following my brain.
My soul has led me my entire life, and I love my life. Yes, there are hardships and heartbreaking moments, but in the end, my soul always led me to love.
Find yourself, fall in love, and explore life.
