It's amazing how quickly you learn in life, when you're open to new ideas. Rarely saying no, always accepting new challenges. Daring myself to exceed my own expectations. Always able to soar, no matter where I go.
My apologies for the delay in updates, but I been in a bit of a transitional period. A life-changing event, if you will. It is an occurrence that only takes place several times in your life, if at all, so when it happens, you want to spend all of your free time enjoying the moment.
I had a loved one move in with me. My ex-girlfriend/best friend and I are back together living under the same roof.
Sheena and I have been in each others lives for the past 7 years. We've had our shares of ups and downs, but every great relationship has and ours was no exception. We've managed to endure and support each other during two of our toughest times, together. Most of my life, i've allowed myself to succumb to depression, anxiety, and addiction. Mentally, I was a mess and I accepted that bad things were destined to happy to me, so I constantly sought escape from reality.
Sheena's path was similar to mine. She was the first woman I knew that I could open up to. She understood what it was like to struggle, emotionally. With any other girlfriend, I never had the energy to try and explain the pain I had inside. I knew they wouldn't understand something that I didn't have the words to explain. Sheena was different. When I was with her, nothing else mattered. My life with her was amazing.
I met Sheena in Atlanta and she and I would first become friends before lovers. We hung out and partied for five or six months before our first sexual encounter, (a threesome with a girl I was dating). Sheena was a waitress at my favorite sports bar and she had a smile that lit up the room. She and I had an instant connection after we met. Not to mention the fact that I sold Xanax and she loved taking them. Just like me.
She became my best friend but our physical attraction to each other was so intense that we couldn't resist taking it to the next level. We would lay in the bed for hours - days, just staring at one another. Fucking like animals until we barely had enough energy to move. The lust and passion we had for each other was indescribable. The word 'soulmate' was soon being used and it doesn't get much deeper than that.
We started out in Atlanta, moved to Vegas together, but five years later we would leave - separately. Sheena and I always remained in contact whenever we weren't together, never letting too much time pass before speaking again. Usually, no matter how bad the circumstances were that caused the rift we always sought each other out. I loved her too much to ever walk away.
She and I would meet back up less than four months after we separated in Vegas because Sheena would join me to complete a six month long behavioral modification/recovery program. After we got out of the program we attempted to get back together to make our relationship work. It was too early. Although the six month program was a good steppping stone for both of our recoveries, we still had issues we needed to work on, separately.
Sheena moved in with family, in Florida, promising that we would be together again when she returned. A year and a half later, here we are. Together again, but in such a different way. We're now using our energy to become better people. We know that we're both achieving greatness, so we push each other to get there. Whether we're urging the other to read a great book or to take a five mile run, we're constantly striving to expand what we're capable of doing. Life is what you make it - We're making it great.

Atlanta and Las Vegas seem as if they were a lifetime ago. I'll learn from the mistakes i've made in the past, but I'll continue to grow and develop myself here and now, in the present. If I'm truly enjoying living my life this very moment, than how can I live a life of sadness and pain?
I continue to read inspirational, motivational, and any other type of self-improvement book that gives me a better perspective on how I can expand my mind so I can achieve greater things. I don't believe everything I read but I take from them the concepts and ideas I like, and I apply them to my life. I'm continually trying to expand my knowledge and become a better person.
One of the greatest things about this journey, is that half the books I've read were recommended to me by Sheena. She understands. She gets it. She's right there with me. Every step of the way. For the past seven years, if we weren't in a relationship, than we were pretty much best friends. Right now, we're doing both. And I couldn't be happier.
