The First Day

Hello,

My name is Emanuel (Bergotbus) Tate, and today may have been one of the most uplifting days of my life. Let me explain, so after graduating from school I suffered wholesale at the feet of the New York City grind. I am an artist, a jack of all trades, but for many months I struggled to find time to practice my various crafts and to find people who were willing to pay attention to me. I became very negative, I hated everyone, and I become so depressed that I'd just drink alone in my room whenever I got the chance.

Today I am happy though, because I've discovered around me many of the hidden jewels that I had been blind to. If i can give you one bit of advice it would be to be humble and listen. This is much easier said than done, but listen to me. Make an effort to give and to be open. This is the true way to happiness and fulfillment. In the coming months I am going to document my time on the up an up. I am going to avoid negativity, vices, and fear, and I am going to commit to greatness. Now I am small and weak, but that's alright, because this is just the first day.
