In regards to the bolded...yes.

I feel I've just have had no choice but to prove naysayers wrong all my life. Like, I've always had to prove myself to other people. It got tiring, but it made me who I am and made me value hard work and determination.
Yea I understand

If you do what you plan, you will prove them wrong by just accomplishing something. Having to deal with people made me a stronger person and helped me see people for who they really are...

Y'all some "well wishers," friendly acting, envy hiding snakes

Yeah...

At the end of the day, we all gotta do us. Cause that's all we can do.
Pretty much. I've always been different, and I've always done what I've wanted, people just happen to fukk with it. shyt I'm happy bro, all I do is what I want to do and I'm happier than a mf'er lol.

Idk what's wrong with you tbh, maybe bc you're older and have experienced those harsh winters of the world. Or maybe because you're from the east coast, I swear us west coast nikkas are always happy.

I have always been underestimated especially by my family and people I grew up with. Almost everything I have done in life, I was always first told that I couldn't do it, then I did it. I quit my job last week and going 100% independent and I still have my doubters. I've been doubted so much in my life that it actually sounds like encouragement to me...no lie.

Everyday....like a mattress courtdog bought used on craigslist...

Nah but seriously, I feel like the greatest struggle in my life is trying to make people respect/recognize my art, music, style, intelligence, output, etc....
Oddly enough yes I have. It's weird. Yet people call me charismatic irl. It makes no sense. I don't think I am, or maybe I'm just too shy and haven't matured into knowing how to use my full potential. I don't know. I wasn't nurtured to harness my skill, it's all been trial and error and no one wants to help, or they get all shy about giving me direction and critique. I can never find a legit partner to feed off of each other either. I know that when I do however, things will be crazy.

My dad got into it with my kindergarten teacher who wanted to hold me back an extra year because I didn't seem to want to socialize with her, (I personally don't find any benefits to speaking to hagrid old CAC women as a 6 year old but I digress.):whoo:

He pretty much was was like "No offense but you don't know what the fukk you are talking about you dumb CAC bytch.:aicmon:" in more polite terms when he rejected the offer to hold me back before letting me go to the 1st grade. I excelled so much that they actually wanted to skip me up to the 2nd grade but my parents decided to leave me put in the 1st grade.:ehh:

I've had plenty of dumb teachers hold me back assuming I was another dumbass black kid. I wish I would have understood how little they knew at the time instead of taking their words at face value. I could have easily soared past my academic potential. Luckily there were some non-racist white ladies that helped me realize that I have to trust in myself and they recognized talent in me when other teachers did everything in their power to try and hold me back. Ever since then it was a WRAP!
:upsetfavre:



Just remember in life that you don't have to prove shyt to no one except YOURSELF!!! Make some close friends, get help when you need it and perfect your craft so you can contribute your talents to the world to help make it a better place.:obama: It's better to hustle, perfect your craft and persist pursuing your career than being an ambitionless "shoulda, woulda, coulda" muthafukka.

It's better to work as if you're not being watched anyways...people look for that, not the person that works but is constantly looking to see if his or her work is being noticed. At least that's what I've seen and come to believe thru experience...

This :ohlawd:

I dealt with the SAME shyt growing up during the same years. I :salute: my parents for checking up on my progress and letting me give them feedback on how I was doing despite being a child. My elementary school counselor Ms Brown changed my life and 28yrs later, I thank her for understanding me unlike my dumbass Kindergarten teacher at that time, Mrs Brett :pacspit:
