Prioritizing isn’t always fun but it’s necessary. Burn out is a real thing and it can affect you greatly. The stress of trying to do everything you love or want to at the same time can also make things become uncomfortable and loose their enjoyment. So I’m taking a week to wrap up assignments and a second to decompress and I’ll be back on the dime for a season 3. Thank you all for listening thus far.

Frustration hits sometimes and I always look back to see where the root of the problem is and the answer is infuriatingly frustrating. I don’t know if any of you have ever felt like you’re loosing yourself. Loosing a part of you that you consider important to your survival. Oh the anxiety that I feel right now. I need to relax. This is how you get addicted to drugs. I hope that wherever you all are, you’re living your life to your liking and standard. Nurture your dreams. You alone know what they mean to you.

Guys excuse my outro. I tend to choke on nothing sometimes and that’s exactly what happened there, right after a brain fart. But other than that, time management. Very important. Know whether you’re a morning or afternoon person is important. It informs you at what time in the day it would be best for you to do the work that requires a bulk of your energy. If that work can be moved around in your day. Maintenance of balance can become a chore though for the less organized individuals among us like myself. So I definitely don’t give it too much of my time because doing so tends to frustrate and tire me out. Knowing yourself and your body is literally like half the battle. No one is master over time so don’t beat yourself up. Do your best. And pivot and add or change things as you go.

I guess a bad decision is one that lead to a series of or just an event that you regretted. There’s a lot of regret I felt about that day. Yeah here’s a lot of regret from that time period. I feel like I was needlessly dramatic honestly. That coupled with the abuse I had to suffer at home kinda led me to acting out in strange ways. This also happens when you don’t have proper role models. Granted I had my coaches that truly cared about me but I wasn’t open enough to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge and experience they could have shared. Actually I think I was closed off to it. I’m happy I’ve grown.

This should really be called into the lyrics. Or something like that. I like that. Kali n Cory was supposed to be be, in the hay day of its inception, a podcast where we talk about issues of the day like rap beef and different superstar follies. Also we would break down some lyrics or well invite artists to come breakdown their lyrics you know. It’s supposed to be a fun time. I do believe we’ll get to that though. We’re just working our way towards that I feel like but we’re quite content with where we are. Not rushing the growth you know.

Ain’t it crazy how easily we often find excuses? Too much excuses and not enough confidence. I think we just need to find our confidence a bit more than we find excuses. Doing that music video has given me a bit more confidence to now reach and at least try to do more of my own videos. If it doesn’t work out, then fine. I’ve only lost a bit of time but I’m sure I’ll have gained, at least, some knowledge. I’ll know what the limitations of my capabilities are and from there I can rework my vision or acquire the assistance I need to get what I want done. It’s truly an amazing feeling when you’ve accomplished something that you’ve thought for yourself was not possible. Just try. You’ll never know what you’re truly capable of unless you do. BreakDown is out though. On all platforms so go check it out. Definitely go check out my music video that I’m so proud of. And please, if you have an idea to do something, before you reach for your jar of excuses, reach for your confidence. Find a way to make it work and do it. It’s the best feeling in the world when you pull it off.

Outside acceptance is also a necessary part of life but self acceptance should be your first and foremost. Be gentle with yourself. Love yourself. Don’t take anything personally because at the end of the day those who’ve rejected you are just loosing out on the wonders that are you. We’re societal creatures so I understand the pull and want of acceptance. Don’t let that consume who you are though. We are all unique for a reason. Trust me, when you’ve accepted yourself and truly love yourself and you finally find your tribe, your people, and where you belong, it’s so much greater. You appreciate it more. If you ain’t the shit to no one, you should at least be the shit to you.

Communication is key. In your actions as well as your words. I also think we should leave space for people to grow. We are dynamic after all and constantly growing and evolving so that should be taken into consideration. Sometimes. Of course there are those hard pass moments where you need to step away from certain individuals, especially those who communicate verbally good things towards you but their actions don’t add up to that. In a perfect world we’d all communicate clearly to each other and be more forthcoming with the type of person that we are. This world is far from perfect though. The best we can do is invest the time necessary into getting to know someone completely. Trust can go a long way and I’m not knocking that but building trust through dialogue and actions. That kind of trust can’t be easily broken.

Came up from truly humble beginnings and I see now that we’re blessed. Yes there are days that we struggle but the comforts we have now are nothing like the comforts we could have afforded back then. Just felt like sharing a bit of it with you all. I have some stories from that time to. You truly get creative when you have to be your own entertainment. My nieces get bored very easily without their devices. We never had those so we’ve always knew how to make the best of any situation. Grateful for every step we’ve made in our journey though. You should be as well.

Dropping Oct 1st, 2021, BreakDown is a song to show our ladies just how much we love them. Letting them know that it’s ok to let down their walls around us because they are safe in our presence. We need to protect our women. Our Queens. And for that special lady in my life it’s letting her know that I’m here to cherish and love her no matter what and Break Down those walls myself if need be.
