For a little bit of context, I'm a 21 year old male and I am a rapper, writer, poet, actor, model, and chair philosopher. I got bored of the other form of these posts and thought it'd be interesting to try out a new format.
This is a ideology that I have been refining slowly since I was 17. I just thought that this could help other people find some kind of purpose in their life as it has helped me in ways. It isn't really near a finished state but I think it can show some functions that I use.
1) A person cannot be free until they have released themselves from the chains that were put on them in their youth.
Never accept someone else’s personal understanding of any person, system, or idea as truth. Wrestle with the concept yourself and figure out where you lie with the issue. If you agree with it’s tenets, then you can follow with a clear conscience. If you don’t, disregard it at once.
2) Happiness is a choice that you make every second of your life. There is no such thing as a constant state of happiness in this world.
Everything that goes wrong within your life is not a personal attack against you. You have control over how you react to and interpret events so if you choose to be depressed about a heartbreak, understand that is choice. If you have the capacities to flip your perspective, begin training yourself to do that at all times. There is always a lesson to be learned.
3) To feel most alive, one must fill their life with unique experiences that break them out of the routine in their life. All good things on this planet are fleeting. A few seconds of pure love with another is worth a lifetime with a mediocre lover.
Once you fall into a routine lifestyle, you are a drone. A shell of the spirit that screams inside you to paint the skies. Life isn’t found in a cubicle. It’s found exploring this giant playpen of a world we live in. So many conversations, people, and activities that you can meet to get that burst of adrenaline that you’ve been missing. If it’s safe, it’s probably not worth it.
SELECTED QUOTES
"I’m just blowing up balloons so that we can float to heaven."
"Every human being is unique and has a gift they can provide the world. Find your special gift and share it with the world."
"The human condition is to move away from pain or stop it by attacking the source. So, you either run away or you attack yourself."
"I come to you with a heavy heart and a wounded soul. But my soul is no heavier than yours nor is yours greater than mine."
"I’m starting to believe life is continually defying death until the faithful day that it comes and washing you away."
"The true source of our suffering is our repression of expression. We have been taught to conceal our thoughts and hearts. We must all have the grit to think and speak our souls to the heavens."
"Revolution is not a physical act. It always starts in the hearts of men. Once someone has the truth confirmed to their soul, they lash out. How productive that is depends on the man."
"I don’t believe it when people say that it takes an army to change the world. Every change that has ever happened originated in the mind of one being."
"I have a hard time believing in institutions that preach about peace. All the people throughout history who advocated for peace and started making significant changes were brutally murdered. They didn’t get to see the fruits of their labor."
"I’m sad because I can see a world where we are all happy and have our slices of the pie. I fear that won’t happen until the next life though.
"Gold hidden under some dirt is infinitely better than a diamond that glistens"
"When the devil appears before you and requests that you take off your armor. Tell him to touch it if he dares."
"There is nothing in the entirety of this world that comforts me more than the mindless babbling of love that a mother shows to her baby"
"Instead of enjoying the beauty of the moment, we prefer to complain to the people we love most in the places that we feel most relaxed."
"A man who really wants to change is ecstatic when the truth brings him to change his whole perspective. A coward prefers the kind that brings others to their knees."
"If I ever say anything that doesn’t make evil people squirm in their seats, let me know so I can realign myself with my purpose."
"If your spiritual bucket is littered with holes, the only way to keep it filled is to sink into the ocean of spirituality."
"My mama bled when I arrived, if I must, I can bleed on my way out"
"I was put here to remind everyone of the childish idealism that you discarded as you grew up."
"Run as fast as you can towards heaven and if someone manages to keep up with you, hold them close."
"With the spirit that I have within me, the limits of my body are inconsequential."
"How glorious is a smile in this world. It shows that you haven’t been beaten down by this world. You are rising above the heartbreak and sharing happiness with the world. Pure beauty."
