It was a beautiful day, the birds chirp with a beautiful melody while I took a deep breath of fresh air. The sun beamed inside my room as I sat up and thought for a moment. It's been a while that I felt refreshed and alive. My parent's death took a toll on me, my mom passed away two years ago, from her second heart attack. My dad passed away a year ago, he also passed away from a heart attack. I believe he got lonely, he loved my mother very much and now they are both together. I missed them dearly every day.

My heart hurts less and less but there is still a pang of loneliness that lives deep inside me. My parents were all I had except for my good friend Jonathan, well Johnny, he hates it when I call him Jonathan.

My parents weren't my biological parents. They told me when I got old enough that I was left on their doorstep. They told me they heard a baby crying one night and they immediately fell in love with me. They took me to the police station but the police said there wasn't a report for a missing baby. I'm not sure what else happened that night but they took me under their wings. They were much older but they did what they could to give me a comfortable life.

I was close to not going to college because my parents couldn't afford it but my good grades helped me get a couple of grants. So I graduated with honors with a bachelor's in business marketing but then their death shattered me and I didn't pursue my degree. I halted everything in my life and got a job at a high-end restaurant called Diamonds.

Tonight was going to be busy because of the music awards and it usually gets busy with celebrities right after. I glanced at my fancy suit that was hanging on my closet door. I've always wanted to be someone important or at least someone that remembers my name but that hasn't happened yet.

Ok, enough of this sadness. I'm better than this but sometimes those thoughts take over. I've always been the person with a smile on my face even when half the people forget who I am. It's like that as a waiter, especially when it has entitled assholes. The tips are generous but the humiliation is sometimes not worth it.

I needed to get out of bed and do my morning workout with Johnny or else he is going to be pounding on my door. He doesn't like waiting, not if it involves working out. He's a workout enthusiast. I met him in college and he helped me build my confidence. I loved seeing my abs nicely chiseled and how my arms were so much toned. I was a skinny guy that had no meat on him, messy dark blonde hair, and bad acne.
