#49 - Love is Harsh

What is up peeps,

I had a beautiful weekend, which included catching up with old buddies of mine while watching UFC fights. I recorded a podcast beforehand with one of my brothers, Jeremy Vathy. The podcast turned out well with some great conversation and insight. It was his first time being on which was a joy for me.

I worked yesterday evening at The Boot, which also went well. We had some cool customers and working is always a good way to end the week. I enjoy the vibe of Sunday evenings.

Today was a great day. I woke up and wrote in my journal, then I went to the gym with a couple buddies from work, Peter and Jon. We did some bench press, squats, and abs, then we hit the sauna, steam room, and cold plunge to truly finish it off.

I may be going to the park with a couple buddies soon, then getting a haircut around 5:30, and ending the evening meeting with a group of brothers to talk about our faith and existence.

Overall, I am trying to be the best version of myself. A question in my head today is, “What is Love?”

Love can be a lot of things, and my heart sometimes says it means saying NO to people. That definition can be harsh, but I remember my mother’s Love growing up and it was harsh at times. My mother’s Love is what made me the man I am today and I am forever grateful.

If you’ve made it this far, I thank you for reading. You can connect with me on Instagram @bengambino and listen to my podcast by going to Ben Gambino Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Thank you so much and I hope you all have a great week.

Peace. Love. Ben.
