seeing outside yourself Sunday, August 27, 2006 |

as of recently, i've begun questioning why people believe so adamantly in me; why they opted to give my talent a chance when others close doors only to their despair. my heart, as in someone i cherish, anna, returned from meeting with the illustriously wonderful people at vogue.

we role-played down to her attire for this meeting and innately i believe the opportunity provided is hers. i believe in her so much; yet she's scared of breaking down in the advent she is selected and moves to new york. i promised her i'd visit if not move with her & i meant just that. i understand my spirit and my fearlessness 'cos i come from the south. a region where many don't understand what it is to dream beyond the confines of the system & those that do don't know how to leave. i've been at a point where i had nothing - not even really myself & God tested my strength. to return to that place unaccomplished is failure to me & i've never done that.

it was once i started seeing outside myself that i indeed understood myself. i have a world to conquer and for everyone that believed in me when i sure as hell didn't, thank you and these work i produce through God's will is dedicated to you.

swagger tested by an tween ambush! |

usually i use this space as an opportunity to disseminate my random rants on you all readers 'cos i feel the need to force ppl into accepting my opinion as fact. but not tonite. i'm just gonna say that i challenge myself through my actions/conquests/ and current fascinations and never out of status/recognition/or belongingness. i've established an identity with myself that i'm indeed comfortable in & i only compete with myself. i suppose thats selfish but realistically, the i in myself (pronounced) is what matters at days end & achieving a higher peace is my most valued hustle.

to those naysayers that lack belief in the kid; i'm not intimidated; i fear no man; no rejection or any matters of the earth. i have favor. i come with sincerity and expect no compensation from my works other than the satisfaction that i did darius & that's the fuckin' best. i get my swag tested from time to time, as in today, but i got more cajones than planters & creatively i'm not to be fcuked with. i've never owned the box most try to discard. i'm the truth & that's all i can/know how to be.

soon,
