There are events in life where you have an epiphany. You realize what you must do to turn things around for your own good, or figure out how to do things in a whole now and fulfilling way. Or maybe you learn that with all the negative things life has thrown at us, there is a reason for us to hang in there and keep doing what we're doing. Could be that we understand that as bad as things are for you and the people close to you, you can forgive the wrongs that have been done to you, you can heal yourself and others around you too, because once your life ends, people will look at the accomplishments you've made with your time spent on this earth and remember you fondly for what you meant to them and for the way you've left a part of your very essence with them to carry on. Kinda like being immortal, in a way.
Share your happiness, what makes you happy, with others and be remembered. Keep positive, share your soul with friends, family and maybe even strangers, they will do the same in return.

I'm starting to realize these kind of things lately for myself, it's a good feeling of spiritual renewal of some kind.

Today is the memorial of Arnaldo "Andy" Robles. An excellent artist, friend and human being. His work here is done, and I think he would and should be proud of it.
In loving memory of all that you have done for me and my soul, rest peacefully my friend, thanks for extending your hand out to me and touching my life and so many others who knew you as well.
