I agree. It’s a blessing and a curse.
Well, you are walking a fine line... and your creativity demands freedom, and craves
to bring order out of chaos. As long as you are not creating the chaos LOL... and what
do I know anyways, besides my own personal experience of life? I have been profoundly
affected by people who are profoundly affected... and it was not all sunshine and roses,
but by golly it was exciting, scary, and heartbreaking to be taken to the edges of life and survive.

It seems like every relationship I’ve ever been in turns out that way, and apparently even happens after being saved, I just found out.

But I’m alive.

I also find it strange how my life seems to progress at an alarming rate when I’m single versus in a relationship.

Like, for months on LinkedIn, I was only getting 15 impressions a month and this week alone, I think I may have surpassed 10,000…by making a post that I thank all of my ex girlfriends on international woman’s day because I probably wouldn’t be where I am at today if it wasn’t for them. (Not in a negative way) and then I go on and list every single one of them by name and say, “they probably are all married now with different last names”

And I left it at that.

And apparently, that was the most popular text post I have ever created, in all my days of being on the internet.

My LinkedIn post stats said that 11% of the New York City linkedin population saw my post.

It is pretty funny though. Like, why would they show me those stats specifically? I don’t know anyone in New York other than my great uncle who tried taking our house when my great grandmother passed. The only reason he visited was to try and take the house. He didn’t visit my great grandmother for like 40 years, no phone call. Apparently he was in one of the twin towers as they were being destroyed and made it out alive.

My Jewish friend Zach that invited me to his barmitzvah when he came here in middle school, is from New York.

I dunno. I’m going to stop rambling. I’m tired.

This also marks the first time in history that anybody ever wished Aquaman was here instead.

My name, Sean Tyler Spence, means:

Sean: God is Gracious, in Irish

Tyler: House Builder or Tile Layer

Spence: Steward
So you are the steward of the house God graciously built?

I guess that checks with the whole we are God's temple thing.

I'm no Etymologist, but a casual interest in uncovering nuggets of truth, by tracing the root of words, was a precursor to me discovering the truth of God's Word.

Let me be counted with the nerds.
