This is Me

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

I’m Eric B. Cooper – just your average, everyday guy navigating this rollercoaster ride of life. This corner of the internet is my space to share the bits and pieces of my journey, where the beauty lies in the ordinary and the real.

On Life’s Journey: Life is a wild ride, right? I’m on a path to embrace the ups and downs, finding meaning in the everyday adventures that shape who I am. It’s not always a smooth road, but that’s where the real growth happens – in the twists, turns, and unexpected detours.

Love for Family: My heart finds its truest beats in the love I have for my incredible wife and children. They are my constants, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. The laughter in the good times, the tears in the not so good times, memories of the bedtime stories and songs of the past, and the shared dreams of the future – these are the threads that weave the tapestry of my life.

Loyalty to Friends: Friendship is a treasure I hold dear. Loyal to the core, my friends are my pillars of support through thick and thin. We laugh together, weather storms together, and celebrate victories – big or small. Life’s journey is better when shared, and I’m grateful for the bonds that make it richer.

Everyday Strive for Righteousness: Trying to do the right things is a daily mission (and at times a struggle) for me. It’s not about perfection – far from it. I stumble, I learn, and I keep moving forward. Whether it’s a small act of kindness or a lesson learned from a misstep, each day is an opportunity to grow and be a better version of myself.

Embracing Imperfection: I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not perfect. Life doesn’t come with a manual, and I make mistakes just like everyone else. But in those imperfections, I find authenticity, I continue to define and redefine myself. It’s in those moments of vulnerability that fabric of oneself is tested and strengthened, and where growth happens.

So, welcome to my little corner of the web. Here, you’ll find the unfiltered journey of a regular guy – imperfect, genuine, and just trying to make the most of this incredible adventure called life. Stick around, and we’ll navigate this journey together.

“You gotta go hard, you gotta believe in yourself. You gotta have a sense of humor to know that the bullshit is gonna happen, you can’t be too serious about it or too emotional and fake when the bullshit happens. You gotta just stick to the script, believe and have an overwhelming confidence. Be your own biggest fan, your own biggest believer, and put it on your back and carry the weight.”
