Shout out to the people that understand that no one owes them anything. Somewhere down the line we took on this ugly mind set in which we feel entitled. And not even the dope entitlement that Nas taught us about with the world being ours. It’s the spoiled brat But-I-Want-It kind of entitlement. The I-Didn’t-Want-It-Until-I-Saw-YoursContinueContinue reading “Entitlement & Self Awareness”

You’re The Only Ten I See
I ventured into Tennessee again recently. This time I experienced Laurel Falls. HOLY shit was it magnificent. I was able to climb some rocks near the falls and meditate.

Boys in books are always better. We were delusional since toddlerhood, watching movies and hearing stories of guys like Prince Charming- rescuing us, sweeping us off our feet, kissing us while fireworks blazed in the backdrop. Utter foolishness. This fluffery had me believing that there would forever be background music throughout my life. They createdContinueContinue reading “Soundtrack”
