I am blessed with the universal talent, desire, i have the ability to be great at everything on this earth, it has been proven time and time again, so why have i screwed up so many things, because when your blessed with any talent you want your cursed with expectations, and ive tried to fulfill all of those, and i am only human, the flipside is i can only excel at one thing at a time and ive been pulled in a million directions, but i know what i was put here for and im willing to bet the rest of my life on it, and all that seperates me from that is 4,500 dollars....a label.
This is what i want to do, this is the one thing that i love over everything that i have tried in the past, music.
I am highly intelligent, but school is not a strongpoint for me, probably the one thing i dont excel at anymore which is odd to me cause growing up i had 100's in every class i took....
My life has many questions....there has always been one thing keeping me from finding those answers, love.
nothing in life means more than love, love is the catalyst, love is the means for the journey, love is the reason to find the purpose.
My life is great for two reasons...
1)I am, no matter how distant from him i am and how blind i am, one of god's children
and
2) I met her, I woo'd her, and I found what ive been looking for my entire life, True Love....
She is an eternal stream that will forever flow through me, i cannot stop her, she is her own person, without her there is no me, and with her my story must now begin, She is the reason for everything, everything that i have ever experienced or gone through leads to her, without her i am nothing, and with her my LIFE MUST MEAN SOMETHING...
therefore my journey begins, i will not face hardships in my life, my fathers legacy is not mine....
I will not inherit my fathers business because that is not what was meant for me, it is easy money and lots of it, but my purpose is greater than that, i must reach and inspire, there is no other way
music....
I delivered a masterpiece, a surreal painting in the form of music, after a few months of rapping and 2 weeks of producing on a cheap keyboard, i created a project that would peak interests of many people already established in the music business, but i wasnt ready, my talents were but a newborn, they are still a newborn but slowly moving past anybody out there, so its time to take it to the next level
Promotion, Radio Exposure, TV Exposure, Music Journalist Exposure, the whole nine, a new project, starting with 1,000 cd's in stores across the nation, all that is keeping me from that is 4,500 dollars, and distance from Erin for a few months and maybe dropping 1 or 2 of my classes is whats keeping me from that 4,500 dollars...
I need the 60 hour work weeks with a bonus, the only way to get that is to take up one of the 2 month 85,000 dollar jobs he has coming up in florida...
Alot of things are being tested inside of me, and alot of signs are being presented to me, everything points to florida, a few of those jobs and i could easily have between 6 and 8 thousand dollars saved by Jan. or Feb. I need to find out whats inside of me waiting to get out, he blessed me with this curse and my grandfather watches over me, with everything thats going on, i can finally say after all my years of being here on this earth, that i am no longer scared of losing what i have because i believe in it so much, i believe in our love so much that i dont think time and distance can seperate us, i dont think anything can.
I believe that there are 4 tests we must pass before the thought of 'the rest of our lives can come into fruition' and they all involve time, distance and understanding
Me with florida, her with school, me with the label and her with whatever she pursues after school, and i am here to support her 100 percent...
Everyone must come to a decision unlike any before in their life, a decision that may change their life completely, i believe this is the only way, because this is what i want, i have never wanted anything more in my life
I feel the winds changing now, everything feels strange for some reason, i have been tested in so many ways with erin, battles inside, changes inside, alot of things are about to change, except my love for her
my love for her fuels me
so now i must begin my journey, my story
I have never felt something so incredible in my life, so many things i have screwed up before chasing things i didnt want, I want this....
All that seperates me from it is 4,500 dollars
I will become great, because no matter how far apart from him i am, he is by my side guiding me, and i believe this is my path...
I place my trust in him and my love for her, and with those things there is nothing i cant accomplish...
I will continue to pray for my eyes to be opened, I will continue to pray to become a better person, I will continue to thank him for my second chance with her, I will continue to pray for his love and forgiveness with each passing day, and I will continue to pray for the greatness i see in her, but beyond all prayers i will forever pray for cloe.
With all my heart I will always love Erin, and it is my vow to treat her like an angel, Everything that has happened has happened for a reason, and it has led me to this day and this decision, I am no longer scared of the future but look forward to it...
She is my love and He is my will, with them both I am great
