A reflective monologue on life transitions and how endings create new beginnings. The speaker draws on 51 years of experience, including high school and near-death events, to show how these moments reshape what comes next.
It took me years to realize the words that are going to just kind of flow out of my mouth. And that is. I realized that every ending is a new beginning. And I don't mean to sound trite when I say that, but if you truly pay attention to every decision that you make, it is ending something and beginning something else. And so was, you know, high school. That was the end of high school for me. Yes. Would I never be, you know, the prom king? Would I never play, you know, my senior year? Would I never walk across, you know, and get the diploma? Yeah. It was endings to a lot of things, but it was the immediate beginning of who I would become. It was the immediate beginning of, you know, having stories to tell around almost dying in the Navy, of almost dying in a motorcycle accident at Faith Ranch. Just like it was the beginning to the story that God has given me for thus far the 51 years that I've been on this planet.
