Watched this the other night and I gotta say it was pretty entertaining. It makes me angry when people just throw money at a situation to solve the “problem”, when it only heightens it by a billion times. Dig deeper people!

Single off The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, released May 4, 1999 | Produced by Ms. Hill, background music: John Legend

I was obsessed with that brick wall. It’s so visually pleasing! Especially on a beautiful day such as
this! Sundays are MY days. The days where I feel not even a smidgen of guilt for doing absolutely
nothing. Maybe it’s because I was born on a Sunday, or maybe it’s because it’s the last day of the
week. Whatever the reason is, frankly, I don’t care. yessir

My souls music is timeless

“I sit back, relax and vocalize my free-dom
cause some tale of emotion locks inside of me
I play the lottery of life, run the rule of roulette
pullin the card but it’s hard not to sweat, place ya bets
you ain’t a gambler? well circuit, Imma handle ya low
I got some tools for the small to grow, uh-ayyo
I let it flow, I bring it lower than the cold
an my ebony soul turnin to diamond cause I’m dying to know
what is the process? we droppin this
genesis apocolypse, the opposites
you can’t have light without the dark-ness
we’re Spartacus, Musab, Django, and Orion
I’m before yesterday and tomorrow I’m magnifyin’
I’m the lost hope, the love we be scared of
the child in the big green field who wants a hug
I’m a natural, black classical, thoughts generate
pressure build, always cut the skill with some heat
my vertigo halo, sometime you shouldn’t say no
we clean out the stuff to see, spit the Draino, let’s go…
eh, eh, eh – let’s flow…”

Dilla-infused!

Download.

Best track off the album.

“Battle Tay? That’s the dumbest shit I ever heard
Since ex-hoes claiming that they’re born-again virgins
Feeling like a born-again version
Of myself, thought I left the shit I used to listen to
‘Til one day, I was playing my old shit
Like “Who the fuck is this? I kind of miss this dude.”

“To fall in love, with the things you do Don’t sell yourself to fall in love with those things you do”
-Slum Village

After what it seems like a lifetime of searching, I have finally found what makes my heart rumble in the jungle. In actuality (and in retrospect of course), I always knew what I wanted but was too scared to realize and even face my own damn passions. Finally realizing, accepting, and releasing the notion of fear running my life, I was running high on life for awhile, finally making steps forward.

It sounded silly at first to admit outloud, let alone think that what I want to do is possible – but I have learned to listen to my heart’s nagging pang everytime somebody uttered anything in relation to my dreams. I mapped out a little plan, wrote it all down, asked myself how this dream could possibly fulfill my most inner desires and be of service for others at the same time. I visualized it so hard that I could smell it and feel it. After a few months of blissful visualization, the first step was finally accomplished. I got accepted into the program that I believe will fortify experience, growth and will stimulate me mentally, visually and spirtually.

The days leading up to that day however, I was in the mindset that once I was accepted, it would be smooth sailing from there. Boy was I wrong. Although nothing entirely bad has happened, the last couple of weeks since that day of acceptance has been hella stressful. Im not used to being stressed – usually hardly anything fazes me! Worries feeding my mind, those damn fears lurking again. For a week or so, I tried to surpress everything telling myself to only push positive thoughts out into the world, only to find myself freaking out by end of the following week. I felt lost. Why the hell am I doing this again!? Am I crazy to be leaving my friends and family behind while I venture out into a new city alone?! What if I feel lonely.. I haven’t felt lonely in years! I was so caught up in a spider web of crazy thoughts that eventually I sat my ass down and wrote (or rather typed) everything I was feeling. That does wonders people! Those fears and false beliefs/insecurities will always be there. And that shit will always be lurking, trying to prevent me from doing what I want to do. The fight isn’t trying to make those relentless fuckers disappear, the fight is fending them off.

Today I am Me again. Focused, sure of my dreams, trusting that everything will work out the way it’s supposed to be. In this state of mind, I can already see a change in not only myself, but the way I perceive things. My eyes and heart are open yet again, already being hit by a blunder of synchronicities, the universe reminding me of why I am doing this. Reminding me that Im doing this for the Love.. and that kind of Love will crush every fear and insecurity that you think of yourself. Those fears and insecurities aren’t truths, they are beliefs (I’d go more in-depth, but that’s a whole ‘nother topic).

It’s so easy to lose focus when you get caught up in those tiny things that you are just supposed to let go and trust. I know I must maintain sight of the big picture, which can be so frustratingly difficult at times. I know this won’t get any easier, in fact it may get even harder.. fighting off those inner demons as you get closer and closer.. but my heart and soul have never been more prepared than it is now to take those fuckers down. One battle at a time.

“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.”
- Abraham Maslow
