Life
Just when you think that you have finally got it in all the right places. Whether with love, family, jobs, or even financials. Things just have a way of rejecting all your progress—all the good given and all the hard work, just gone. Sometimes I wonder why it always has to be this way. I know out there, in this vast world, so many of us struggle. So why does life have to fight against all of our good? Why does the world work against all of our hard work? Why? So many "whys," but no matter how many times I ask, the world seems to refuse to answer. My life—many lives out there, whether the same or different—contain so many struggles.

OKC to WNY to OKC!
Approximately 26 years ago, in the center of Oklahoma City, OK. There was a bright eyed, bushy tailed, baby born into this world. She was outgoing and had a drive for knowledge as soon as she learned to make sounds and walk. That baby girl was yours truly! You're welcome.

Face the Challenge and Love the Game
This is my opinion. Face the challenge and love the game. Whether you are going to school and getting your education or you are taking experience from your job working enough hours to support yourself, there is always drama. There is always that one person who's a teacher, an assistant, or manager that drives you insane to an extent you lose confidence in yourself and your effort in work. However, as people, we must believe that we are better than what anybody thinks. Our work effort shines so brightly that the people who we are in conflict with just don't see. If we are known as these moving creatures trying to put an experience or a knowledge, living with it and aging with it, then there is always something that an individual is good at. For example, a student who has difficulties with math or science may be more creative with languages and arts. It could be vice versa, too; a student may have difficulties with arts and languages, yet succeeds in math or science. Yet what a lot of people don't know is that these subjects can relate to each other because it is about following basic concepts of knowledge. I don't understand how you can scold a person for their talents.

Your Heroes
It's said by someone I'm sure, you should never measure yourself to your heroes. A quote I came across earlier this week though said that "you shouldn't be trying to network up, you should be networking across". I don't particularly remember where I saw this quote, as I have a shitty memory, but I know it's been at the forefront of my mind. I also think the latter quote has been the cause for my personal introspection, and now I turn that outwards to you. The idea is explained that you shouldn't be trying to network with those who are already established, yet with your friends and neighbors who are establishing themselves. To this concept I say yes. That's why I work very closely with a network of like minded individuals and groups like Mehji Ent. I myself run a blogsite I just started up called The Renaissance Project. It's an art initiative I started to follow happenings if the underground art communities in Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania currently. I hope to cover more as I get the chance to travel and meet more artists. I have been inconsistent in my content upload though. Not because I don't have things to post. The Mehji's have almost ten tapes on Spinrilla alone. Most of which were uploaded in the last couple of months. It's because I have been doubting why I even do what I do. I look to others who are more established than myself and think that I am foolish to be doing it all. It makes it hard because there are peers I have, that are significantly more successful. And admittedly sometimes, I wish to reach out to them. Sometimes I feel guilty for even wanting to say hi. I don't want them to feel like I'm mooching off of their hardwork and successes, so I leave them be. Honestly though, I needed to. I needed to stop putting so much pressure on where I wanted to be as an artist and start focusing more on what I wanted to produce as an artist.

Life Is More Than a 5-Year Plan
“Where do you see yourself in five years?” The dreaded question that forces you, in that moment, to pronounce your planned career trajectory, allowing the person to whom you address your response to judge your character, ambition, talent and several other of your most important traits.

Failing to Succeed and Fulfilling Your Potential
A lot of us live our lives wondering if we are fulfilling our potential. We all have talents, hobbies, and things we enjoy. But not all of us pursue these talents. I have met many people who say the same thing. "What if?" and "I wish."

Let Them Be Uncomfortable
The less you worry about what other people think of you the better everything will become. Of course, it is natural to be self-conscious during those awkward teen years, but the less you care about what others think about you the happier you will be. Wear what you want, give your opinion, and express yourself however you want! Just be yourself! If everyone on Earth was the same, the world would be a very boring place. It is your job to bring something unique to the world. Just be whatever you want to be. Be smart, be confident, be kind, be sensitive, be a badass. Just be unforgivably yourself because you are an amazing person, and there will never be anyone else who is like you.

Making Ends Meet
I think we all long for the days in our childhood when we had no concept of what money was. We didn't understand how much food costs. We didn't understand how much hydro and heating and water cost. We didn't know that gas prices would one day be the bane of our existence.

Chosen One
The Universe Will Choose You. Life itself has a way of showing you the dark and the light. Experiencing being the chosen one allows you to do two things 1. find your purpose and 2. reap the benefits. It might not sound like much, but this past year the universe has shown me what it is the be chosen, what it is to have a purpose. See, in life, from the moment we are brought into existence our parents are already setting the vision for us, until of course we create a vision of our own of what or who we want to be.

How I Managed to Quit Overthinking
Overthinking honestly ruins you. It creates problems that didn't even exist in the first place. Over thinkers can make any situation worse, no matter how exciting/depressing it was before. It makes you more stressed, unpleasant, and also makes you question everything that happens in your life. It takes you away from the present moment and makes you worry about the future.
