The older I get, the more I believe in myself and my presence on this planet in relation to the universe.. I don't believe in a god persay, but I believe that we are gods on this planet.
I feel like, the younger part of my life was filled with such confusion. Now I realize that maybe I was here for a purpose. But then again, I believe all of us were put here for a purpose, but some of us haven't realized it yet. Even with the conflict I have inside myself, that battle makes me realize my true worth as a man and a human being.
I think about all of the places I've been in my life...from the ghettos of America to the most luxurious places in the world. From a baby in the 80s, a kid in the 90s, to a man from the 00s to now. I think about all the changes I've seen in this world. Where I was when I saw the Twin Towers fall. Where I was when the levees broke. Where I was when My journey on this planet is not complete. And I look to see the greater purpose and the greater realities of this thing called life on planet earth.
I think about who I am. Everyday, something reveals itself about myself through triumphs, tragedies, trials, and tribulations. How strong do you know you are if you haven't been through a moment of weakness?
I felt like at times...I was running away. Scared of life. But really I was scared of myself...and what the future would bring...but now, I feel strength and motivation. I realize who I am. I realize where I come from...and how much it adds to my existence. WE are more than what we think.
Sorry for the long winded post...saw the sunrise, had me emotional. Not afraid to cry...I'm happy to be alive.
