Growing up(guess still am), is being an interesting journey.
One filled with many lessons ,trials ,tribulations ,triumphs and laughter.
What I have always struggled with is "how the world seeked to change me".
I had to learn to trust me and God especially.
Maintain my identity,no matter what.
Its being a tough one though where I found myself asking so many questions,why this happens ,why people think like this etc...But its being questions I have needed to answer for myself.
It is sometimes difficult to maintain an identity when your being fed information of all sorts every single day.
The media ,government,society ,community,religion and parents. All having their say on what will make you a better person.(who even knows what that means anymore)
I have to admit being 18 has been a roller coaster ride of emotions but its also being an roller coaster ride of blessings. Blessings that came hidden making them hard to appreciate.
But now I see them and I appreciate them.
I could say to you do what you want to do,say the things you want to say and express yourself the way you want to express yourself,but I would have to be honest with you and say ,'the road you take is a narrow one,filled with many negativity'. But as much as there are negatives ,there are positives.
So fight hard to be YOU. Cause in the true words of AKA ,Ivy League,"The only thing that can hold you down is gravity"
