Today, I have finally come to the conclusion that I am not going to ask folks to support my craft (music, poetry, blogs, published books...etc.) anymore. Yes, I will continue to post...and send page request for likes, but I find that I am grownup enough to accept that folks are either gonna show mad love...support or nah? LOL Honestly, I have come to own that the satisfaction of completing a project is the best feeling and if ever discovered cool, if not...I'm going to keep on living. I will however remember those that have shown love or have affiliated themselves with something I have done...whether playing my music/spoken word...reading my work...spitting over/sharing a beat and not just "liking" to show they "claim" to have read/listened to something without encompassing the full meaning behind the work. Funny thing is...the same people that do not show support...ask for support and if I did go big tomorrow those that were never associated with my work...would be the first to say..."I know him"..."He's family"..."ohhhhh I went to school with that guy"..."Hey man...remember me?" Nahhhhhhh...LOL...at the end of the day...no one can validate me...the way that I do...and self worth is not what it is about...it is the accomplishment of dreams we fulfill in our walks of life that should validate our achievement and leave a smile upon our face. I smile, because I feel achievement in the things that I have done are goals that I have completed...what sours me is that some do not get involved unless there is something in it for them. Funny how the world works when it needs something from you, but when there is nothing to gain for them...the importance is minimal until they need a favor from you. I do not like politics...and the world should not be built upon a popularity contest. #osmosisthoughtz
