playing by their rules; losing by default
Have you ever wondered why we spend so much time trying to be “better” for people who wouldn’t recognize better if it hit them over the head?
for most of my life,
i was a rule-follower.
at work,
with family,
in friendships,
and let’s not even font about looking for a partner.
i bent over backward trying to be the version of “better” everyone claimed they wanted.
they’d say they needed someone dependable,

Okay, I never did coke but you get my point.
I love getting high in inspiration.
If you channel it properly, it can take you to the highest heights imaginable.
I was talking to Smart Fox last night and we had the most amazing session ever.
A inspirational blunt to the face for both of us.
We were talking about many things but we got into the youth and this whole lifestyle.
Quiet frank, our cubs are lost.
Doing the stupidest things because their stupid ass friends thought it was fun.
Many of them are not realizing they still have a long road to travel.
Some never even make it to the car.
I am all for doing things in the moment,
but I am past “stupid mistakes” that I can’t be rescued from.
As we talked, I asked the question:
WHAT WOULD YOU TELL THE CUBS?

Light, Love, and a Fox
The art of forgiveness.
This week, I gave up something to pursue a spiritual balance.
In the Christian realm, I did what was called a fast.
At 12 midnight, that fast ends and I can say what I was looking for, I found.
