Reel Randy

A series of emotion and adventure.

Over the past few years, I have encountered highs and lows that have made me into the person I am today. Life does not care about timing, which makes it hard to reflect on situations in the moment. However, each and every experience is an opportunity to learn about yourself. And for a while I struggled with who I was as a person. This series will attempt to break down the aspects of my life that have been monumental in my journey of growth.

How do you react to unfortunate events?
Do you leave your comfort zone?
Why do you portray yourself in that way?
What scares you?
Have you evaluated your perspective?
When do you celebrate achievements?

Risk, Anxiety, Love, Complacency, and Leisure are the facets of my life that bring relevance to the beauty of imperfection. I’ve been mentally stuck in situations that caused me to have a pessimistic outlook on the future. Minor professional success created an arrogant side to my personality. It was more important to care about my people than it was to focus on myself.

Reel Randy is flawed, but loving.
Willing to grow, while prone to failure.
Perpetually conflicted, yet lives with decisions.

This will be an outlet of expression that I hope brings clarity to my thoughts and feelings.

Thanks for reading.

The Moon and The Sea

It’s funny how distant the moon and the sea appear. At first glance, they seem to be unrelated, able to exist on their own. I mean the moon is literally over 200 thousand miles away from the Earth and the depths of the sea have not even been fully explored.

These two beautiful, naturally occurring bodies are more connected than what meets the eye.

You see, the moon causes high and low tides. When the moon and the sea are the closest together, their connection is so strong that the waters are uplifted to new heights. What is crazy is that high tides are also the result of the moon and the sea being at their most distant point from one another.

A high tide can bring fertilization, but it can also bring destruction. A high tide can bring waves of excitement, but it can also bring about an unrealistic lifestyle based on short-term riches.

A high tide is confusing.

Somewhere in between a strong bond and a memory with the moon, the sea reaches his lowest point. The waters seem lost, with no direction. It would be so easy to be on one of the extreme ends of the spectrum, but how can he choose?

The confidence, familiarity, and love that comes with being close to the moon is so desirable at this point. And the thought of breaking away further is exciting and filled with possibilities of what could be.

Who’s to say the sea won’t become stronger, deeper, and more understanding without the moon? Maybe the sea needs the moon, but it’s time figure out the currents on his own.

Sometimes the moon seems like a scapegoat, always there to blame for the shifts of spirit.

While the sea is stuck deciding between which high he wants, the waters become stagnate. Dreaming of the ends of the rainbow has led to a dry reality. The sea is receding, going nowhere but down. He is sobbing, drowning in his own tears.

Who do you care about?

Who will fight for you?

Who do you know will always be in your corner?

Learn from the moon, and love her for the journey. The moon is in your life for a reason. Navigating the waters of life are impossible without reflecting on your current situation. Dream big, but never forget about now.

A sea who knows love will surely make waves.
