Life update: I passed my written test 2 days after my birthday, passed my drivers exam on the 1st try, got my drivers license in April, and now I'm working to get my first car.
I'm saving money to buy a 2018 Dodge Challenger V6 engine.
After frivolous spending, I'm mentally preparing myself to sacrifice my materialistic greed to better my life.
Lost over 45lbs in 5 months and enjoying myself.
I'm working a stable job that has allowed me to see parts of California I never thought I would ever see. Inside homes that blew me away.
I saw Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Downtown Los Angeles, and more. It makes me feel a whole new appreciation for my much simpler and humbling life as a small town man in L.A county.
Hopefully, when I do get my Challenger, I will take 3 of my cousins out to San Francisco. Not that I've never been there. But one day, I'd like to go beyond these mountains I've seen for the past 19 years of my life in this valley on my own as an independent man.
But that seems more like a dream than reality. Hopefully, I'll prove myself wrong.
