Phellito's Way

Young old soul. Art fiend. Life student. Part time athlete. Creative businessman. Hard worker.

  One and only time I’ll post my mother on Tumblr. Me and my mother have been thru it, both together and apart. We used to be such a happy family when I was younger. Just her, my brother and I in this tiny apartment where we stayed for 12 years but we never lacked anything cause she went so hard for us. There was always music and always food and though we were living below what most would call average, people with ten times what we had would come stay with us and have the time of their lives. That’s what I learned from her. How to not only survive but turn survival into thrivin’. Somewhere along the line we kind of lost that spirit. Life hits you with enough jabs to the face and you start questioning whether you got what it takes. We all have what it takes. Go through it, fight, argue, cry, sulk, whatever. But at some point, hopefully sooner than later, return to who you really are at your core and dust off all that sand the world tries to put on you and shine again.
