We all stray at least once in our lives but sometimes we never find our way back. Aimless souls with no particular dreams. Smirks not smiles, chuckles not laughs. Wandering in the dark not even curious as to who turned off the light anymore. Laying under sun rays creeping through the blinds. Lifeless. Apathetic. Indifferent. The world is so serious, but why are we so amused?

Ever notice that one person who knows a lot, but says very little? The soul gifted with knowledge and a balanced dose of humility. That one person who is always calm and speaks sparingly. The kinds of people who teach you more about who they are through their actions rather than obnoxious, boastful bickering. Those are the kinds of people I want in my life. Those are the kinds of people I respect.

This is truly a sad time. Most of our generation has lost the ability to think, to perceive, and to respond with conviction. It is rather amusing that a man or a woman can mesh a number of nice sounding words together, become revered for eloquent syntax, and fool thousands of people into thinking that his or her “thoughts” make sense. Sometimes the point of their thought is that they have no thought. There is no message to reap. There is no transcending truth. You’ve consumed empty substance for a long time and have been granted the false luxury of shitting out nothing.

Wake up people.

Homie, you revolve your life around chasing women rather than your dreams. You lack ambition and motivation. You’re living with fluctuating emotions that aren’t gonna pay the bills. You got your whole life ahead of you to bump into some beautiful waitress at a fancy restaurant. Rethink your life. Get situated.

That frantic moment when you were 6 and you went grocery shopping with yo mama and she left you in a long line with a cart full of stuff and it was almost your turn to pay and yo mama wasn’t back yet when she specifically said “gimme 5 minutes I gotta get somethin right quick” and you panic because your poor 6 yr old soul don’t know what its gonna tell the cashier and then yo mama makes it back in the nick of time.
