Today my cousin and I were listening to Luther Vandross.As I listened to Luther pour out his soul singing a tune, I imagined Luther as an average person before his stardom and how he had two complete strangers(my cousin and I)singing along with him.It hit me..He had the power to voice his opinions to millions of people through a song.How amazing is that?.Music is a Universal language.It allows every Color,Creed,and Culture to come together as one.Then it dawned to me the many artist in the music industry who have the same opportunity to make a positive impact on the world and dont grab a hold to it for the mere fact that they are not original.I believe that I am one guilty of the fact of riding the wave instead of having enough courage to stand for what I believe in and stick to it.Part of societies short comings are due to Music..what we allow ourselves to be fed..We allow Men to degrade us women and yet we dance to the beat of these songs,we get mad when a man on the street bluntly disrespects by calling us hoes,sluts,bitches,sidechicks, and birds but what is any different from the music artist saying It through a song?..we as people shouldnt welcome such slander.The disrespect in music is unreal. Where is the edifying of our soul in the music?...when will an artist come that Speaks knowledge truth and Quality. We could rap and sing songs without having to degrade one another. We are all equal and struggle with the same hurts and desires so why not try to make the world better. we are the world and I know that sounds very cliche but we can make
a positive difference one step at a time.I am reminded of a quote "If everyone swept in front of their own door the whole world would be clean"I dont really know the exact origins of this quote but the quote is true.I am going to start with myself,I will no longer support an artist who is disrespectful towards women or his fellow man.We are definitely setting ourselves up for failure as a society...A lot of these music artist care about the buck and meaningful songs and lyrics are not apart of the agenda.So much to write in such little time.

Rebirth of Dreams
I must admit that I have been absolutely petrified of living.Not knowing the exact origin of my existence frightens me.I mean have you ever just sat back and wondered is this life real and if so where do we come from?,why are we here?who created us?,what is our purpose and how will we survive?.I may be the only person who thinks in such depth but I doubt it.We as a human race are a curious and inquistive race.We were like this from the beginning of time,Adam and Eve just had to eat off the tree of knowledge after God forbade them to do so.We want to know!!I realized in life everything is not about knowing its about going for the ride and discovering different clues along the way.I want to take this fear out of me because its hindering me from really living and learning LiFE.Im no longer going to be afraid to Dream because the dream coming True is actually better than the reality.Im going to make it like my Professor Gordon told me when I was taking my classes at Hunter.I just have to believe in myself without a single doubt in mind.Jump in the ring, fight and be free.Im learning to understand myself and accept me for me.Dreams come true all I have to do is just believe.I am blessed without a question.I have a journey ahead until I discover myself and make some changes.I will accomplish my dreams without fear.I would spend more time writing but I have to work in the morning.

I seek 2 Find..Find Better In Time
Time is not on our sides and if we as human beings dont work with time.Time will work against us.For this reason I panick and scramble to find methods of doing and being better.Doing better starts with being a better individual.Being a better individual begins by cautiously watching my actions and the way I treat every individual that comes across my path.Respect!!! Thats the name of the Game.As people we must understand that we only treat others by the way we feel about ourselves.Our actions are mirrors to our hearts.Golden Rule Treat thy neighbor as you would want to be treated...Its crazy because such a simple rule because I believe that no one was following the rule but in actuality every single human being on this Earth follows the rule subconsciously.The way someone feels inside determines their actions.For instance if a person is miserable they believe that there is no way out and every single person around should feel how they feel misery loves company but so does happiness.If a person is happy they want everyone around them to feel that same happiness.Its something about human beings that we always want to share or relate in someway to others. This is why there are fads,styles,groups, trends, norms and so many other classifications keeping humans in their own little boxes.Our seeking to belong keeps us in boxes and in order.Life is a system that we have to all go through, everyone has their different routes but the same system.I never felt like I really fit in anywhere I guess thats why Im always acting out because my inner self is seeking to be free... and all life and society does is try to compress and cage it in.Imma Seeking to Find and Dat will I seek after.Love peace and Soul xoxoxo Thee Ursa Minor
