Enlightened Moments
Many enigmatic moments can be found througout my own memory bank. Encrypted in ways that only defining moments or perhaps simple things in which I can trust to store them (memories) behind. Several of which are currently embedded within various songs which I found inspirational to my own personnality and being.
I recall being in the brig during a crucial point in my life, where I had to make the most important decision of my life. Deciding whether or not to sepearate my some of my many character traits from my personnality or let nature take its course. Well for me, being that I retaliate often and am usually found in trouble somehow; I decided that taking my life into my own hands was best. I first thought of ways to maintain my person and altar how I wanted to financially structure my life. This is when Twista’s album Legit Ballin made an intricate moment in my life. Instead of making friends and enemies, I should now make a stable network. Getting rich and livin out a true “ballin life” without drawbacks of unwanted regulations; as well as ending fueds, jealousy, hate, and stupidity.
This thus triggered an onset to evaluate my current predicament at that time. I had given up my chance to go to college when I should have and ended up in the Navy, in trouble. Just as I probably would have anyways. But regardless of that notion, I pondered and found that I had something in me arising in relation to enlighten me to prepare for my road to come which I am now on. Then out of nowhere, I am hit to understand I am on somewhat of the right track by looking to my musical peers. Kanye West and his release of his album the “College Drop-out”. How ironic to feel this way and smack dead in the face there it was in writing. I had to listen, had to find more guidance.
After listening to the album, my decision was finalized. Between ballin legitly and acknowledging my dreams, I had to jump back into action. I now find myself in this class making my plans even more concrete as I learn to draw out my concepts of wealth more realistically.
