This song, not even a huge fan of it but somehow this line stuck out.
Keep it going.
It got all too much, too quickly. In over my head thinking I could pull it together like I always do. Gon’ be a battle to the finish line and getting there in one piece is all that really matters right now.
I always tell myself to be positive.

Even when it feels like nothing’s going right anymore. Even when all I want to do is bury myself somewhere and run as far away as possible. Hell yeah it’s hard looking at the bright side of things. But it’s what keeps me going. It’s what helps me let go of my uncertainties and doubts. I know it’s difficult now. And it’s gonna get worse and worse. But in the midst of it all, I also...

Impact.
In the bigger scheme of things, you are nothing but another person in the world. Yet as another person in the world, you have the ability to affect it in so many unimaginable ways.
Doing the best you can do at that very moment doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doing the best that you personally can, if you know what I’m saying.

Motivation; or a lack thereof
Finding it harder to keep my focus and to concentrate on anything lately. I’m really quite frustrated and exhausted. I don’t have the energy anymore and I don’t know why. Losing my motivation and drive is never a good feeling either but I refuse to dig myself into a deeper hole and just stay there.

There’s a lot of growing up that I need to do still but no matter what, I just want to stay true to myself and what I represent.

Hip Hop and you don't stop.
These conversations I’ve been having about hip hop lately.. have been so refreshing and really great. Keeps me grounded and brings me back to why I love it! And it’s not even really about hip hop itself, it’s the community that makes it so unique and all the different interpretations and implications of it and what it means to people. At least, that’s what I think....

“Some lessons are only delivered in the form of pain.”

This song is on replay.
Oh yuuppp.
Everyday is a learning experience.
When you start to think about it and reflect, you’ll realize how much you have really learned and be able to see just how much growth has happened.

Reflections.
More than anything, this year has been full of lessons learned and personal growth. It has definitely been a tough year but I did it! It’s 2012 and I’m still pulling through. It’s going to be a big year and as scary as it may be, I am so ready for it. I only hope to continue going in the right path and that I keep making the right decisions for me. It’ll be difficult and...

Fear holds us back.
incuadible:
Most of the time, fear gets in our way and walled us up from what we really are capable of. The fears that we have imprisoned us from what we can really do. If we were to knock that wall down, we will certainly be able to discover many things that we have never known before. Fear just have the purpose to push us back. We have to push forward and nothing can get in our way.

ROOTS: Rising Out of the Shadows
ROOTS is a young adults shelter right by UW that I have volunteered at a few times and it’s really a great place. Below is a newsletter I received from them. Stories like the one they shared in this newsletter are part of the reason why I am constantly rethinking and developing what community means to me. It’s part of the reason why I continue to do some of the things I do and in the...
