falling is scary whether it be in love or off a bike..
Sometimes.
you meet a person that totally blows you away - inspiring you - to see life in a whole new way 0_o
but for whatever reason, it doesn't work?
You're shocked!
because she was perfect!
exactly how you visualized her to be :(
destiny, can be so particular "sometimes" and makes no exception #smh - as always..
Drake pieces together beautiful words -
to explain this conflicted experience perfectly in his song, "sometimes":
"Falling too fast
Clearly rules don't apply
Cant believe that I just met you
You got me here watching minutes pass by
Wondering when to expect you
There you go is this a dream
Looking like every picture that I've seen of you before
Ive seen it all before now that its over
Should have known better
Then to think this was real
And you could be mine
Should have known better
Slowed it down
Cause I feel you needed time
But I kept thinkin'
This could be something [3x]
This could be [2x]
This could be something [3x]
Maybe its just nothing at all
But this could be something
This could be something
This could be [2x]
This could be something [3x]
Maybe its just nothing at all
At all [2x]
Maybe its just nothing at all
At all [2x]"

women that want to get married
Relationship expert Tracy McMillan has an interesting take on why it's difficult for some women to get married; she writes:
"The good news is that I believe every woman who wants to can find a great partner. You’re just going to need to get rid of the idea that marriage will make you happy. It won’t. Once the initial high wears off, you’ll just be you, except with twice as much laundry.
Because ultimately, marriage is not about getting something — it’s about giving it. Strangely, men understand this more than we do. Probably because for them marriage involves sacrificing their most treasured possession — a free-agent penis — and for us, it’s the culmination of a princess fantasy so universal, it built Disneyland."
something really really really special is about to happen!
Self Transformation n Self Growth
are quintessential hallmarks of any successful persons rise to greatness:
I love Nicki Minaj
- if you listen to her music closely?
You'll hear stories of self transformation, Growth, overcoming self doubt, self criticism - becoming who you're supposed to become n this lifetime.
In the song "dear old Nicki" Nicki Minaj, literally has a conversation with her "old self" - pleading for her to come back in her first verse.. and in the second - Nicki Minaj shares the sadness of her "old self" no longer being here :
"Maybe you died cause everybody ask me where you at
I try to channel you in hopes that I could steer you back
But it's like every intersection we just missed each other
You got your fans waitin' tell me you ain't six feet under
And tell me that you comin' back and you just took a break
Maybe I blamed you for everything that was my mistake
In hindsight, I loved your rawness and I loved your edge
Cause it was you who talked me down from jumping off the ledge
Your earings bamboo, your long nails too
Your BMW everytime you came through
You was the braveheart, you stole Wayne heart
You never switched it up, you played the same part
But I needed to grow, and I needed to know
Were there some things inside of me that I needed to show
So I just deaded you, left you in all black
But dear old Nicki, please call back
[Verse 2]
Yo, did I chase the glitz and glamour, money, fame, and power?
Cause if so, that will forever go down my lamest hour
I should've kept you with me, gettin' at them nameless cowards
They was no match for you, couldn't defeat your prowess
I had to make them changes, I hoped you understood
You see for every bad, I did a ton of good
But you was underground, and I was mainstream
I live the life now that we would daydream
My only wish is you come enjoy it with me
Get on them conference calls go meet the lawyers with me
The money came yeah, tripled and quadrupled it
But I still miss us when we was just on some stupid shit
And it's still f the media they ridiculed you, never believed ya
They just deaded you, left you in all black
But dear old Nicki, please call back"

running with no fear...
When the Israelites were running out of Egypt:
they weren't running out of fear!
for they already saw God's miracles
- the Israelites were
running towards, their greatness!
running towards, their destiny!
running towards, a reality beyond imagination running!
So let me ask you this - Are you running today?
If so, how fast?
are you exhausted?
are you out of breath?
- because if you are, you're alive!

randomly, we think the same..
"When you think about it!!!:
the only reason why
disagreements exist
in our realities - because we precieve that we have different minds. Like, you have a brain, I have a brain, you have an opinion, I have an opinion (space between us) but - according to the sages it's
all (7 billion people)one mind
with different perspectives
'1 brain
one thought process
one planet'
Listening to others
is really just learning
about yourself"

rising so fast and its devastating
"As you grow
you don't leave
people behind
you leave yourself behind
sometimes
you hold on to your old self
Because
you're actually holding on to them
what you guys once share together
Plus the past is familiar
even though
it's unfulfilling
As you grow"
- a rocketship sad to say goodbye tu it's launching pad
you don't leave
people behind
you leave yourself behind
sometimes
you hold on to your old self
Because
you're actually holding on to them
what you guys once share together
Plus the past is familiar
even though
it's unfulfilling
As you grow"

pouring my heart out - can you see the stains?
In retrospect:
"it's not just about the gift/talent
you want to share with the world -
as it is
the inspiration from
the creator
4 ppl
2 want
2
receive it -
Ask God, day & night
to give the whole world
the desire
To receive your gift/talent"
- when you're creating perfection but have no control over who understands it..

only seek to go higher,
A conversation I had with a mentor when I first started to pursuing my dreams
that I finally understand:
One night
while driving
home together
almost 10 years ago,
my mentor said; "the people at the bottom - are closer to the top - than the people in the middle".
At the time - I didn't fully understand - what I was supposed to learn from the statement?
but as I got older
and more exposed!
I started to understand the mentality of people in the middle and what motivates them?
People at the top
for one reason or another
decided to make their ideas/passions for front in their lives - thus leaving the organized perception/class
structure created by society (k-12).
"People in the middle
live for the comfort
organized (labor force)by great designers!!!."
"People at the bottom"
want to "experience life beyond imagination" which can make you ask the question; "in terms of living life beyond imagination, who's really at the bottom?"
Point is!: "people at the bottom - are closer to the top
-then people in the middle.
so never doubt yourself
only seek to go higher!"

dating inside of a storm lol
I never understood why storms are always named after women until I read this: "And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about." - Haruki Murakami #jussayin #trueStory #amen

when text messages become autographs
"When life is moving so fast - it's almost impossible - to look back - so many people - so many experiences - will never be seen or happen again - sometimes, when I know it's the end - I'll send cool text messages - as mementos - you know, in the near future! - she can show her friends, associates that we used to chill - almost like a signed autograph - proof of an historical moment - from the past ." - #SoFarGone

loved her way too much.
"I think you can love a person too much.
You put someone up on a pedestal, and all of a sudden, from that perspective, you notice what’s wrong - a hair out of place, a run in a stocking, a broken bone. You spend all your time and energy making it right, and all the while, you are falling apart yourself. You don’t even realize what you look like, how far you’ve deteriorated, because you only have eyes for someone else." - Jodi Picoult, Handle with Care

"I see what you're talkin' 'but, no way to soften that
Cause me, I was tryna find out where I lost 'em at
But maybe I ain't lose 'em at all
Maybe I keep movin' forward and they're just stagnant, they ain't movin' at all
But when they need a favor, who do they call?
Maybe I'm searchin' for the problems, askin' what was said and who was involved
Too focused on people's feedback and provin' 'em wrong
They say the shoe can always fit, no matter whose foot it's on
These days feel like I'm squeezin' in 'em
Whoever wore 'em before just wasn't thinkin' big enough
I'm 'bout to leave 'em with 'em
Cause if I run in the game in these, man the seams are splittin'
No pun intended but they're smellin' defeat in the air
Headed where nobody took it, who meetin' me there?
They tell him that he's talkin' crazy but he doesn't care
Bein' humble don't work as well as bein' aware
Listen up, boy, you're better off eavesdroppin'
We already got spring 2015 poppin'
PND droppin', Reps-up P droppin'
Majid Jordan droppin', OB droppin', not to mention me droppin'
Feel like we paid the refs off, man we fixed the game
Me and Noel been at it before Twitter names
Yeah, been on the move like the lease is up
And I can't even name one person that's keepin' up
Damn, forget how it was in the past tense
Ask yourself, how do we match up now?"

Kids don't read anymore. ..
"All the school kids

They don't read anymore,
they don't even read anymore
They just wanna be like all
the rappers that I can't stand"

let's meet up and have drinks?
So let's meet up and have drinks I mean, "philosophical meditation"?: #lol
"Some Kabbalists, including Isaac of Acco and Abraham Abulafia, mention a method of "philosophical meditation", which involves drinking a cup of "strong wine of Avicenna", which would induce a trance and would help the adept to ponder over difficult philosophical questions.[19] The exact recipe of this wine remains unknown; Avicenna refers in his works to the effects of opium anddatura extracts." - Wiki

women are a piece of heaven!
"I was thinking to myself earlier today; what side, of the body did God take the rib from Adam to create his wife Eve?
I couldn't find any sources!
Then I started to think to myself; what is the Hebrew word used for rib in the Torah?
I found it! the Hebrew word n Tora used to describe the what we interpret as rib is, Tsela!
The word tsela can also be interpreted as meaning, "a quarter of the heavens; a part or division".
So based off of the Hebrew interpretation, one could argue!!! ... that women are made of the heavens and not made of a man's rib. #pshhh, Which makes sense because the world was created with the heavens and earth (Genesis 1:1) and man was created from clay of Earth. So, it only makes sense that woman would be made of the heavens symbolizing the unification of all of creation (heaven and earth) . I'm not saying my assessment is a hundred percent correct; feel free to add prospective or correct if needed?"

honest women everywhere...
We teach our sweet little girls
to be liars and fakers
from a young age:
No, I’m not hungry.
Wow, that feels great.
No, I don’t blame you.
Yes, I love you.
No, I’m fine.
-Michelle K, We Raise Liars.
always be kind....
"If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway…You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway".

wife/life giving birth...
"He allowed himself to be swayed by his conviction that human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves". - Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

a foolproof way 4 rising to the top!
"It's amazin: when it's your time! your entire focus becomes everyone else n their dreams. The higher you go. the altitude changes - the condition of your heart. The only way to go higher in life (manifesting your dreams): is by caring for the happiness of others unconditional as much as you care for your own happiness! Doing anything you can do. to help someone else's dream (goals in life) 2 manifest . no matter what. Every person you help becomes a step on Gd's latter; 2 a place beyond your imagination". - advice from someone rising to unbelievable heights, the right way!
the magnificents of a torah observant Jewish woman...
"On the contrary, this [modesty] should serve as a source of pride that you have the strength of character to walk in the street unabashed while your friends and acquaintances perceive that here walks a Jewish woman who adheres to the “Laws of Moshe and Israel”. So much so, that she has no desire to conceal it. Furthermore, you ought to be proud that your children know that they are different from all other nations because they have received the Torah, a “Torah of Life,” and they study it as the only foundation of their education". - Rabbi Yosef Braun, Tznius - the Hallmark of Jewish Women
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables..
"The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only". - Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

transforming all of existence...
It's amazing watching Drake literally transform the musical sound in hip hop...I think the name of his(Drake's) record label is literally "ovo sound"; Which consists of Drake and in-house producers 40, Boi-1da, T-Minus, Mike Zombie, and Nineteen85, along with recording artists PartyNextDoor and Majid Jordan. I'm a huge fan of partynextdoor but more importantly is the transformation of sound on commercial radio because of Drake's company (ovo sound). What Drake is doing on commercial radio, reminds me a lot of what ancient Torah sages say about the intentions of the generation that built the Tower of Babel. The sages say, the generation of Babel was focused on creating a new system for human existence, manifest a new system for all of Gd's created reality. For example: everyone believes in some form of an afterlife?... but imagine! if someone or a group of people could transform the blueprint of G-d's system to mankind . To the point an afterlife or the concept would to no longer exist in a newly created reality by mankind. The Kabbalist make an interesting statement about tha characters in Torah. Rabbi Isaac Luria specifically believed that the characters in Torah were put there by Gd to teach us about our capabilities, expanding awareness of our human potential. Arguably, a person could say "Parsha Noah" is teaching us we have the ability to transform the entire world as long as we have unity. May our generation transform the world in the same way Drake's music is currently transforming commercial radio! #YesIjustDidThat.lol
Socrates said. ...
"The paradox seems to be, as Socrates demonstrated long ago, that the truly free individual is free only to the extent of his own self-mastery. While those who will not govern themselves are condemned to find masters to govern over them". - Steven Pressfield, The War of Art
At first you think she is plain; then ....
At first you think she is plain; then a sort of spiritual beauty imposes itself on you, and you find a fascination in watching her […] She is both detached and human, silent till she wants to say something and then says it supremely well. - Vita Sackville-West, on her first impression of Virginia Woolf from a letter to Harold Nicolson
