No creative introduction is needed nor required. Simplicity is the Sensuality to Sex, The Beat to Hip Hop and the swagger to fashion. This is my effort to provide an insight into my mind…in its simplest form. I step away from my reality to provide you a glimpse into the real. Okay here we go. Let’s see where I end up with this one. Life is so simple in all honesty. We as human beings create our reality. We make life more complicated than it was ever intended to be. How is it that children require little more than love and attention? How is it that old people require little more than love and attention? Follow me. Grant it both require medicine, diapers and special food….but they thrive on the love from those around them and the attention that is given to make them feel relevant. It’s simple. Life isn’t as hard as we make it, or as bad as we perceive it to be. We were all born with an innate ability to survive. Simply put, we were meant to be survivors. The birth process is one of the most difficult experiences that I child will go through. Imagine your entire reality being a womb, then in a matter of moments being in an entirely new reality of life where you are more affected by your own vulnerability. I know I am one of the more random individuals that you may ever come across….but I wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t random. Life is simple. You are born, you live life or let life live you and then you are gone. Our lives are brief and never intended to last forever but they are here for a purpose. From the moment we are born we are preparing for our departure. Now don’t take my statement as me embracing moroseness, I am simply stating that we are intended to accomplish as much as possible in a short period of time. Live life….dont let life live you. The above sentences may be a result of a 2 ½ month hiatus from scribing my thoughts…who knows…But allow me to try to make some sort of sense of it all. I have grown to realize that even at 25 years old, I have wasted valuable time, valuable people, valuable experiences and valuable memories on letting life live me. There is nothing that we can’t overcome. Just live life……Just live it…stop coming up with excuses or reasons why your life is so bad. Just live it. Let go of the past experiences that have been a disappointment…It’s a part of life…you’re not the first person who has lost a parent, a friend or a lover….and you aren’t the last. Every morning that you wake up and have the ability to grow closer to God, your friends and your family and even yourself…is a better day than any day you have experienced in the past. Trust me….forget it don’t….Just live life….
