" I had convo with my soul, I asked it when will the shit change it said just use the pen skills. " - J.Cole The other week me and AD ( close friend ) had an interesting discussion about balance and the life you want to live. One thing that stood out was when he talked about having too much of certain things in life can be toxic. " Instagram isn't bad... but too much of it can be toxic, partying isn't bad... but too much can be toxic, studying isn't bad... but way too much of it can be toxic. This made me think about balance and how important it is. Growing up with not a lot of guidance can lead us into toxic lifestyles and I know not a lot of people want to hear this but it's imperative. A lot of people in my community didn't grow up with a lot of guidance and it shows. We have to guide ourselves, it takes trial and error but we can't let our decisions define us. I once sold weed at a period in my life but I stopped because I knew it could get toxic and that it needed to come to a demise in my life because of the balance that was needed in my life and that I couldn't let that decision determine who I really was. Micromanage what you do because a habit can take control of your life and you can still feel entitled to success. You can continue to live in your toxicity and that's fine as long as you are comfortable in it, but you can't feel like you deserve or are entitled to things in your life that you didn't work for or put yourself around.
