About Me

Hello and welcome to Something About Change! I’m Demetrius, join me on a journey to explorer and embrace the ever-present nature of change.

Throughout my life, I’ve worn many hats: soldier, professional, father, husband, and lifelong learner. Despite my achievements and outward confidence, I’ve often found myself grappling with the complexities and challenges that come with change.

This blog is my space to share humor, wisdom, and insights gained from navigating life’s twists and turns. Whether it’s the lighter side of daily life, deep reflection on personal growth, or candid stories from my experiences, I aim to offer a blend of serious humor and thought-provoking content.

Through Something About Change, I hope to connect with like-minded individuals who appreciate the beauty of transformation. Life is full of opportunities disguised as challenges, and together, we can learn to see the positive side of things and laugh along the way.

Join me as I tackle change and celebrate the moments that shape our journeys. I invite you to share your own stories, engage in meaningful conversations, and find inspiration in the ever-evolving landscape of life.

Thank you for being part of this adventure. Let’s embrace change and make it something beautiful.
