What am I even doing here…like at this very moment? So I said I want to connect and inspire…hmm

What kind of a mind man or maniac can believe that they really have answers for people, that they can really help and make a difference?

I mean it has to be some kind of point of vanity, insanity, ego and pride, over self indulgence, over compensation, power hunger, or deflection of the up most form…I mean most of us don’t even know ourselves, nor can we say that we are confident and sure footed in all circumstances

And really, we all have different personalities and experiences and therefore we aren’t all acclimated to the same conditions, cultures, and language barriers

There is no one size fit all…so I guess what my lame attempt is that, maybe, just maybe I can help one person figure some semblance of something out by just speaking my truth, after all, we are all one…maybe there can be a connection to my story, thoughts, and experiences that someone somewhere can reflect on after seeing themselves or someone else they know that fits those same shoes..

Isn’t that what music and other art forms do?

Bring us together in our wholesome creative forms of expression that speak to the rawest parts of ourselves…maybe if we just started trying to just speak plainly about who we are, after awhile, we’ll start to see that we all aren’t that different…instead of proclaiming some socio-miracle formula for a better life and speaking at length about this recipe, maybe just slowing down to feel and express…that would work wonders…right?
