with a j cole instrumental softly playing in the background
just thinking about where I'm at now VS where I was a year ago...I came so far....back against the wall, no timeouts, game on the line....crunch time...and I made some moves and seen alot of growth....
Being a young black man in america kinda force u to sink or swim...esp coming from the city i live(buffalo ny) u either figure it out or die (sometime literally). At 28 i feel like I've been more shyt mentally then ppl in their 80s but its all good, I'm not whining or crying, because there's ppl with a way worse hand then me...
I'm not totally where I want to be of course but to see how far I've came is pretty amazing esp considering statistically a guy like me is supposed to be finished. Like alot of the men on my moms side of the family...drugs, alcohol, life poverty, disease, jail etc....runs in the fam. But I refuse to out like that, no way...naw not me, i cant go out like that lol
I'm young black male, nothing but job min wage/ lowing pay job exp, low income, poor family, no connections, no "network" as they call it lol. As I mature I think struggle its a blessing because those who struggle get to see the world from a unique perspective, think about it, all the creative world talents struggled and it gave them the vision , foresight to do great things and solve unique problems.
Not to waste y'all time,the reason why I made this thread to tell the bros out there that feel hopeless and feel like they'll never rise to keep fighting....because really, the only way to lose in life is by quitting, great things take time. I know not every dude on this site is a get fly, rich man so this one is for whoever can feel it. Just keep believing and chasing whatever it is that your chasing and give 100% everyday and you'll receive something greater that money could ever buy.
