Pac Please Forgive Me

After the Taylor Swift incident Kanye West took a hiatus. So I guess I can't beat myself up too much for my sabbatical. It's officially been 31 days since I wrote and recorded my last verse. Now for you that remember the Luke you have seen for the last two years, you would understand how BIG of a deal this is. Symbolically 31 has always been my favorite number. My father had me at the age of 31, his father had him at the age of 31. My grandfather died at the age of 31. That was also the number I was given in football. This number has followed me my entire life. So starting tonight Music Is My Life has officially ended. The next saga is soon to come.

Vivid memories continue to flood my mind. Secluded in time. There they will stand until eternity ends. As she sits down reluctantly staring into my eyes, she speaks silent words that I could never forget. The slow echoes of her footprints follow behind me like a shadow. So dark. So quiet. But that remarkable siloette still appears every time I turn around.

But there never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do once you find them.

Maybe in another time. Maybe in another place. Maybe if the time was right and no one had mistakes to make. If life was meant to be what we intended it to be then maybe oh just maybe we could find a way to make it be. But in this world you only play the cards you're dealt and even though spring melts away, frozen in time are the things I felt. Very rarely will you find me taking time out of my day to share a memoir from a book I try so hard to keep tucked away. But tonight, i'll open up and let you know. For once in my life it's hard to let go. To watch something you've never had pass away into the past. So at last, I'll raise my glass and give you a toast. Woman that should've been. But the one that never could've been due to unfortunate circumstance. If fate was nice enough to give us all a second chance then I can say without a doubt I would've gave a second glance. But with no time to rewind and death being the trap that binds, it seems that the dreams will have to fade away into cupids selfish regime. It was nice to meet you even though that's all that happened. So continue to sing your beautiful song and I'll continue clapping all night long.

XYBT

Funny how life changes. Seems like yesterday I was sitting in the Riverdale Track locker room wondering where I would be in the future. Well, I'm not finished yet, but it sure is interesting where I am now. Ironically, I'm sitting here on my laptop still contemplating where my future will take me. In the last year, life has changed so much. I've gained a new group of friends. I hardly even talk to the same people I did when I was sitting in that old locker room. With all the changes one thing remains the same, I know I was born for something more than a 9 to 5. Let the clock make a couple more rotations and I'll prove it to you. XYBT TILL IT KILLS ME

Ten Rules For Being Human.

Ten Rules for Being Human

by Cherie Carter-Scott

1.You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
2.You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
3.There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
4.Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5.Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6."There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
7.Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8.What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9.Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10.You will forget all this.
