Understanding
I knew I was officially in Atlanta when I saw the So So Def billboard on 85. So So Def crept into my life through Cross Colours, backward jeans, and Kriss Kross. Da Brat would take me back to my summers in the Chi. Jagged Edge would be the soundtrack of my life. Xscape taught me how to kick it, who I could run to and understanding.
Music has a way of infiltrating our psyche. It can influence us in many ways. We all have a need to be understood. Understanding is achieved through communication. Listening. Digesting. Try to see someone else's point of view. Try to hear their heart. Try to see their intentions. Try to understand.
What I need from you is understanding
How can we communicate
If you don't hear what I say
What I need from you is understanding
So simple as 1, 2,3
Understanding is what I need
Evolve
"The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be."- Oprah Winfrey
Imagination. Reinvention. Evolution. I can't imagine being one way your whole life and them transforming into someone completely different in your latter years, but it happens all the time. Bruce became Caitlyn right before our eyes. People retire and start brand new careers. Married couples become divorcees. Change is inevitable. Life will cause you to evolve. Embrace it. Sometimes, we don't see the whole picture of our lives. Adapt. Evolve. It's easier than extinction. Become the complete person you were always intended to be.
