Life in a Small Town

The value of life, who has the right to choose or to decide what value someones life has!
Do you determine it, by the way they live their life or do you do it by way of morality?

For many, they see me as an unfit choice for another chance since I choose to live my life. Instead of leading it defeated and giving up on the things I love and value, as a major part of who I am as an individual.

My sexuality has always came into question as far as being a value as a human being but I see it as a positive in my life. I am a much stronger person because of it. I go out into a world that hates me and do it with reckless abandonment and without hate in my heart, for those who would rather see me dead than living. I believe that if people could see through my eyes, the world would be a much better place. I open my heart to everyone, regardless of wealth, color, sexuality, or personality flaws. I see them for them for the person they are.

I also never hold a grudge, I could definitely choose to hate the person who bashed me and left me for dead but I have let it go and even continue to talk to him these days after all that has been done. God has taught me alot but the life lesson I have taken more than any is treat others as you would like to be treated.

Our community has a lot to learn. We all claim to value friendship and love but yet, at times we take it for granted. Often leaving our mates to wonder if we are in fact, in love with them or are they in love with the idea of having everlasting love. Then comes the value of friendships, we can all say we are friends but to be a friend, you have to love yourself and accept that there will in fact be disagreements. Its holding true to what friends are, that is an extended part of my family as far as I am concerned. So it is about taking it with a grain of salt and letting things go, no matter the hurt involved.

If I had to make an honest evaluation of whether or not my life is valuable enough to be given another chance.I believe that it is, I value these things that are sacred to me. The love and companionship of my best friend Duke, my love for my friends and family, and above all else my love for God.

So, if God so chooses to give me a third chance at life with another transplant, I just hope that he judges me for the good I do rather than the bad. I have made mistakes and often make choices that are not the smartest but I continue to grow from each and everyone even at the age of 41. 

So, you take the time out today to decide if you have taken the proper steps to deserving a second chance and let me know what you come up with and if you think that it is feasable for God to give me another chance at life. 
Til next week, Terry out!
