Lets talk about it, that being the state of laziness in a society where ambition lacks due to the creation of technology. Over the years, for me personally I have had my fair share of ups and downs. That being lazy, never really amounting to whatI could become as a person due to the climate of living as a millennial. Seeing your piers gaining followings off of mere lies and off of social media itself can be draining. Although the cons can outweigh the pros, I can say I use it as a form of motivation. Knowing that the possibilities are endless when it comes to the live you want for yourself can be invigorating. Seeing others accomplishments puts me in a space to where I need to get my act together. It is important that I have a fire burn inside of me, and to know that fire can lead me to wherever I need to go is gratifying to say the least. Once the goal is set and met, its such a better feeling knowing where you came from and allowing the world see your growth and hopefully inspire others to do the same.

We are living in a time where the capacity to do good while being trustworthy is low. Its conflicting for me, and as a artist it creates a great influence for me to harp on. In the act of doing the right thing to benefit yourself can be a very difficult decision, even in the event where the feeling might be indecisive. One of the hardest decisions I have had to deal with, that being do what’s best for myself is a bittersweet feeling more or less. I love the feeling of being free but I hate the feeling of guilt. To do good is whats most important, what I was raised on was to be a caring person, but in this time that we are living in the right thing to do could possibly mean not caring so much. This has been a adjustment for me and it can be one for you as well. To say doing good is hard is an understatement, it is extremely difficult at times. But no matter what, in order to change the narrative of yourself where you want to be, just deal with it. It could be worse.
