Life is a dance. There is a rhythm to the way we move in a day to day routine that has it's own melodic structure...A format if you will. But...

Who plays the music that we dance to?

Who sets the tempo?

Who sets the key to play in?

Are we dancing to the music of someone else or our own music? Do we have control of our lives? Or do we allow situations to dictate how we should navigate the thing called life.

Thanksgiving special....

What are we thankful for this season of uncertainty? What are we really thankful for in a world that is rapped in the lore of being "insta-famous" and false accomplishment and accolades. What does it say to us when out possessions become more of a priority then our very lives? Where are we going as a society?

D.O.T.E: Water.....It was needed

Topics: This one goes to all my content creators. Sometimes you get caught up in the rat race of making content. People love it. Goals become bigger. You could actually make a fucking dollar off what you do. Then BOOM....you don't feel like doing it. That's it. You don't feel like it. Fuck.....you'd wish it was something more than that like some divine calling from God or a call to action to fight every polluter with a cap gun and a Chick O Stick(A very dangerous combination I'd might add) but atlas....You don't feel like it. And for years that has plagued me for my creative process. It was to the point I had fell out of love with music in totality(I'll share that story next time)

But what's the funny thing about life as a creator is that those moments when you don't feel like it, that's when you should work AND THAT SHIT SUCKS. The inspiration is NEVER found in the beginning. Sure you get a idea about something that may call you to work but it's in the process that true growth begins to develop.

Accept that.

You'll also have to accept that sometimes, It's good to walk away. Restart and refresh. It's ok. You'll be ok. Accept the process.

Growth is inevitable when you're on your path. Embrace the process. TAKE A BREAK. TAKE A BREAK. TAKE A BREAK.

Don't brake too long because the reward is in the work.

This Shit Right Here......baaaaaaabyyyyyyyyyy

The Madonna-Whore Complex has been the staple of an "selection processing" the brain of humans for centuries and where living in a time where this archaic binary form of data collection should be extinct, but why do we hold on to this tradition to see if someone is for a night or lifetime.

Topics: Polyamory.....Good or bad? Could you see yourself in Poly relationship? As we grow and develop as humans in an advancing world, is the rules of monogamy becoming antiquated? So many individuals compare their lives to societal standards that was set by there predecessors that they lose sight of their own desires and ingenuity when it comes to love. What may work for someone else, may not work for someone else. With that being said, I have just a few out of many questions I would love to have answered to help me understand Poly love...

Topics: Indulging in comfort could have two sides to it. It's necessary for the human experience to enjoy the pleasures of the world but there has to be a balance. Comfort is the most addicting drug once its take over the process of the human brain because the brains very nature is a make the human experience as comfortable as possible.

But to those that shake the world in it's very existence, avoid comfort for their greater good or reward. David Goggins once said "“You are in danger of living a life so comfortable and soft, that you will die without ever realizing your true potential." It's in the moment where we feel that we just don't enough, is the moment we should push through in life.

Topics: Kintsugi-(金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique.

As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

Embrace pain, flaws, disappointments. When life breaks down around you, don't discard the pieces and build a new world. Conjoin all the pieces with the golden knowledge of life and create something beautiful with what was once shameful

Topics:

The responsibility of being a business owner and a content creator can be a heavy one. The quote that comes to mind is from Shakespeare "Heavy is the head that wears the crown" and rightly so

So when recognition is given to anyone because of how you are conducting you business, it gives such gratification to those who support you. The sleepless nights, the endless times of facing of self doubt, the days where you don't see the light at the end of the tunnel, becomes all worth it for that recognition

Keep pushing, and keep striving content creators, entrepreneurs, students, people all over. Someone is watching. They see you.
