Segatron Genesis... call me the wizard.
I couldn't wait, I love how this month gets. No matter how hard things get, from the stress at work, to the point I feel paranoid or insecure about myself and what others think of me. Yet, I just look up and the truth is, it was really me that was wrong all along. I don't want to make people upset at me during this season. I want to make people happy. There was nothing really wrong to begin with, nobody is mad or upset with me. Just my mind playing tricks on me from the people at work who stress me, who try to bring my happiness down.
So, I turn on the TV, browse the net, and see how many things Christmas related appear. Maybe it's the bright red, the beautiful shades of green, or the white snow flakes I see. Perhaps, it's the smiling faces I get to see each day here at EGA that reminds me of how much I should be thankful for and to stop worrying so much. Just be myself and don't try so hard to impress others, is what I should do.
I look at this single picture I posted and think of all the wonderful classic Christmas' I've had since I was a child.
In my honest opinion, Sega knew how to celebrate Christmas and the Holidays from the time Sonic stepped foot into the world until the end of Dreamcast's final Holiday season. Sega knew what Christmas was about or someone was quite excellent with marketing.
I'll never forget those retro Christmas times I once had, getting my first Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis. Yet the love and dedication that goes into people's hearts that make it shine the most. To make that number one gift seem glorious, because it's not so much that thought of it counts. It's mainly the love that digs deep into the heart of it. If I could only show you now, what exactly a moment or a precious second shows during Christmas. To look beyond the blizzard of customers, employees at work, school, family issues, and so forth. At the end of the tunnel, is harmony. A blissful taste, that is sweet beyond anyone's imagination. Some call it an escape, but it's really what the world is always after.....Peace on Earth and Goodwill to men and women.
In that moment of silence, when you lay in your bed on the night of Christmas Eve. Listen to everything around you and you'll know what I mean. To all the mothers out there, I salute you. To all the fathers out there, I salute you. Keeping balance in your family is a mighty task during the Holidays, I hope to be a father someday.
Yet someone told me, that I cannot find happiness unless I find it within myself. This person spoke the truth and I was a blind fool. I was raged at first, but God forgive me, I know the truth hurts. I forgive this person and apologies to all that I made feel bad that day. Yet I want to thank them for making me open my eyes to the world and to see beyond that blizzard of life. It maybe cold out there, it maybe harsh. Yet I will stand, because I know I am loved by those who stand by me and I love myself for who I am, no matter what.
Where does my happiness come from? My friends, my family, my loved ones, my cat Jay Jay, and myself. My grandmother taught me, "Count age by the amount of friends you have, not by numbers." and one man stated, "A man is not great by what task he has done in his life, A man is great by the number of friends he has in his life".
To every single one of you, here at EGA. I say this one statement and one statement only, if I was to be remembered by one thing, I say this unto you all.... without you, I am nothing.
For that, I am thankful for each and one of you for supporting me, for being there for me, and helping me become a better person in the previous years. You are all my family. God Bless you all.
