The Power of the Mind

    What's good fam? I know two posts within hours of each other... What happened is I havent had much time to really reflect on whats been happening in my life lately. I've been fed alot of information this past week, but havent had time to digest it. Well, it finally took hold of my mind tonight - tried falling asleep - music playing, my eyes overlooking the peaceful street outside my window as the cool breeze blows in my face giving off a scent of serenity - Just how I love falling asleep (no joke). It's then that I've started to think about recent events and how much my life is changing at this very moment. How much it changed from just the beginning of the school year, a year ago, back in high school, middle, elementary - and down the chain. Just the thoughts, memories, and everything flying before my eyes, and I lie there wondering - why life goes by so fast? 

    It's funny - we have one life to live and yet we spend it struggling to survive, or survive in this society I should say. If we have one life to fully live out - why dont we spend it doing something we enjoy everyday? Honestly, I dont need to goto college to be producer - you really dont, and I'd prob reach my goals faster If I dropped out of college and worked at the studio I'll be interning at in the summer. However, I can't do that because if my parents are forking out the amount of $ for me to be here, I owe it to them that I atleast leave here with a degree and put all my effort into school. Furthermore - college is all about the experiences, people you meet, new thoughts, delve yourself into new cultures/settings/lifestyles. Quite honestly, as I reflected tonight - I wondered if I truly was taking advantage of the opportunities that lie in front of me. I've been thinking bout this for some time and asked others on their thoughts. But, I feel that If i were to graduate tomorrow and someone asked me what I did in my college times - i really wouldnt have much to say that's interesting, and I dont want that to happen. My biggest failure in high school was I didnt get involved until the end of junior year, missing out on a lot of great times I could have had, but I didnt know it until it was too late. 

      What I'm trying to get at is make most of this life. Take advantage of everything that comes your way, you never know what might be a blessing hidden behind the surface of things. Always remember your past, and learn to live with regrets. Let life unfold itself on this journey, and never be afraid to take risks...It's 5:30 am, have yet to fall asleep.  I decided to clear my thoughts by embedding the emotion into a beat. After 20 minutes of work, I've came out with a beat that captures the essence of this reminiscent night of mine. I'll post it up later for yall to hear... Good Morning.

Wake up Mr. West!
