Autopsy of a Year of Struggle

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, and strength training have really challenged me these past few months along with exploring what it means to be "Hector". It hasn't always been easy but I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm appreciative of the process and everything it's brought to my life.

My life turned upside down in the last year. Took a year off from school to see the world (that didn't last long). My grandma and aunt passed away. Lost my job. Met someone special in my life and then had to let them go. The world falling into madness. Disorder and chaos running rampant. I'm sure I haven't been the only one to experience this. It isn't easy. But somehow I knew what would come when I left home a year ago.

One thing that I've learned in the past year is that I wouldn't want it any other way. The exploration of truth. The discipline of actualizing your potential. Learning skills and sharpening your abilities. Understanding that meaning and fulfillment in life aren't discovered. They are built from the ground up.
