Im trying to take everything in. The good, and the bad. There are so many different angles in which you can look at things in our world. Growing up, I was sortof oblivious to a lot of things until a few years ago I was sort of enlightened by a series of events that took place in my life. I was one of those few kidsthat grew up in the "Hood" and chose to go a different route. Moms spoiled me with all the riches (All the latest and hottest kicks, clothes, gamingsystems, etc.) I was an only child growing up in a single parent home and I never forget people calling me rich just because of all the materialistic things Ihad. I guess it all went over there head. They didnt know the true "Me". As far as the true meaning of life itself is concerned, it intrigues me.What are we here for? All the practicallities I thought about while growing up as an adolescent are all coming to fruition now. A lot of the people Ive knownfrom childhood onto adulthood and what they would eventually amount to, everything is becoming clear. Peeps you knew where going to go downhill and getcaptured by that negative life is really happening. Cats getting locked up and doing years in jail/prison, deceased, having multiple kids, doing all sorts ofdrugs, etc, It's all coming to the light. I HATED, I mean HATED going to church as a kid. But as I got older, I started understanding the bigger picture.Ive never been religiously inclined but I would like to know about all the metaphysical and advanced policies that go on in this world. I just need a bit moredirection. I feel as though Im on the right path but I always get sidetracked. Im still into sneakers, music, fashion, etc because that's what I know but Iwould like to get beyond that. This is a great post. Keep the ideas and knowledge coming.
