Another Path To Orion

It was Brenna’s birthday, and I knew I had to be there for her. As much as I wanted to shut myself out from the world, my family always came first. My brother’s invitation to his son’s birthday party provided a convenient distraction from everything going on in my head. I hoped the bouncy house and arcade games would keep me occupied, at least for a little while. As we pulled up to the venue, I realized that we wouldn’t be the only ones attending. Eddie and his family were also there, and it felt like fate that we would all be reunited on this day. It had been a while since we last saw each other, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over me as we caught up on old memories of “Path To Orion”. As we watched our kids play together, surrounded by the sounds of laughter and joy, I couldn’t help but reflect on our past. I thought back to our freshman year in high school, when we would escape to Eddie’s basement to play music for hours on end. We were young and naive, dreaming of the day we would become rockstars. But as I sat there, looking at my daughter wearing her Mickey Mouse ears, I realized that my life had taken a different turn. That’s when the idea hit me. My story was entertaining enough on its own. I should just film it. I envisioned a TV show that revolved around me living my life, showcasing the struggles and triumphs of my journey to global domination. It would be untraditional, but it felt like the perfect way to share my story with the world. As the day drew to a close, and we said our goodbyes, I couldn’t wait to get started on this new venture. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but for the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of purpose. I had a goal to work towards, and I was excited to see where this journey would take me.
