I’ve been told 2019 was a rough year for me, and while it might seem that way, it had its ups and downs for sure. – But 2019 has easily been the best year of my life. Firstly I was able to marry the woman of my dreams @kiraamurdock. Who I believe to be my main contributor to all I was able to do in 2019.I was called up to the @ufc, all tho I wasn’t fit to compete that day, it was brought to light of my brain condition that has led to me being able to see 2020, and providing more opportunity for my future. While I did have to have emergency brain surgery, i can’t look at it any other way then it has saved my life. Watched a community come together to help contribute to aiding my campaign for surgery, a gesture forever I am grateful for ❤️ – I launched a brand with one of my best friends @urijahfaber for @alphamaleclothes . (Also help get me a new brain) – Also I bought me a new car, a luxury when I was younger couldn’t have dreamt possible. – Work on a brand for my future 🤫 – In no order are some pictures that sum up 2019 – I believe life is perception. You literally choose to look at it how you tell yourself to do so 🙏🏼 – #gratitude #newyears #newyear #bhfyp #hashtag
