As I sit here and try to figure out what to write, I think about what got me started with this blog. I started this thing because I was bored in a lot of my classes throughout my senior year of high school and I wanted to document my thoughts throughout the year. As the year went on and entered college, I realized that I didn't really have time to keep this up. In addition to that, I just started following the trend that all the other blogs were doing, which was just posting music. Now, if you've been following me since the beginning, you know that I used to solely write on here and rarely ever post music. (Thanks for still following by the way) But then I realized that I don't follow trends. I never have and hopefully never will. So why would I do the same thing with my blog?
Since my last time writing, a lot of controversy came from my last post. It definitely made me realize that my words ARE being read and people are being affected by them, which was a good lesson. But with that being said, I've found the medium. As you know, I'm not one to hold my tongue. I'm not going to stop expressing what I feel because I know it's going to offend somebody. In any kind/form of writing, somebody will feel a certain way about what was said. But isn't that the point of writing? To draw emotion? That's what I thought.
The fact of the matter is, I need to watch HOW I say things and not WHAT I say. For the most part, that's changed because my surroundings have changed for 8 months out of the year. I'm out the hood. My peers are a little different and a little more "cultured" than where i grew up. My closest friends are still the ones from high school but I've just absorbed the fact that the way I was thinking and living was not the best way for me.
Long story short, I'm going back to what I started as. I'm going to be speaking my mind. Starting this summer and carrying on throughout the year. I hope you guys enjoy the ride. I will. Tell your friends. Tell your family. This is going to be something different. Something you won't find on IllRoots or URB.
