Ask, Seek, knock

I belive that art is life

Whatever you do in life you put into your art

Whatever life throws at you,

You use it to influence your art.

My life is art

I want to change the world

through my art

When the resources are right in front of me

When the opportunity has presented itself to give me the best way and means possible to do just that

I snatch it.

I have asked

I have sought

And I have knocked on any door I think has something for me behind it.

I can’t talk about wanting opportunities and then when they arise not taking advantage of them

You cannot see the door pop up and then sit and talk about what a beautiful door it is.

You cannot talk about all the things this door could do

You have to knock on it

And get whats on the other side

You have to knock

You have to knock

You have to knock

Knock knock knock knock knock knock

I take whatever I have asked for.

I claim all the blessings that are for me

It’s frustrating to see part of your blessing is out of your control

But it’s not gonna stop me from doing what I have to do to claim my rewards

I speed and I shall reap

What God has for me

it is for me

NIKO RIAM FOR VOGUE PORTUGAL  BY ANDREE MARTIS.

One day you’ll realize your hero’s are human

I sat through a class today where the teacher said,

Discrimination happens. I’m not gonna sit and pretend it doesn’t. But also sometimes you have to decide personally when to speak up and when to ignore it because your here to do your job and you can sit and take the nonsense .

I disagree.

If there’s nonsense then it needs to be stopped.

If there’s discrimination of any kind to any degree, it needs to be acknowledged, addressed, and put to rest.

If you have to walk away from 100 jobs because they’d rather have someone who will sit and take it instead of your courageous and worthy work, then you have to walk away.

In walking away you turn tides.

No walking away you leave your imprint.

Who cares if you can take a punch and keep walking

You don’t have to.

You don’t have to let the next person take it.

If you walk away do it with an impact.

Make it known why you walked away.

Let other people know why you walked away.

If they didn’t correct themselves and try it again, that’s up to the next ones to work out.

But love yourself

God will provide

His will is for you to have the best.

You don’t need to push through if you don’t have to.

You’re a human

And if someone can’t see that, or won’t act like it

They don’t deserve you, your time, your energy, or your work.

Point blank period.

I’m shivering because it’s fall .... and I have boarder Line crippling anxiety

It’s that time of year

Where it’s time to bundle up

Each year we get older

And the weather gets colder

Each year we say we’ll do better

And we end up further from the start and the finish

We end up confused

Cold

Bundled

Ready for warmth

And yet shivering

And yet outside

Trying to get somewhere warm

Trying to get comfortable

Trying to grasp onto something familiar and drastically different all at once

I don’t want summer of 90 blah

Or autumn of 2000 and whoa

I want a future

Where I am taken care of

Where I can take care of myself

Where stepping outside isn’t stepping into cold darkness

Where traveling isn’t risky

I want a future where I can be

Peacefully crooning in a treehouse

Today i was in a spot light

My being was presented

My words were put out into the world for pondering and examination

And In that air I sat

I heard myself

And in my reflection

I panicked

I opened my book to take notes

And ran away in my writing

I ran into pages of frantic scribbles , dreams, and self deprication

I started off with how bad this went

How bad I am

And then ended up in a happier place

In a treehouse I built myself

Where I’ve crafted an isolated and safe space where I can participate in society in the most minimal ways possible and yet still feel somewhat okay

I hid in my written treehouse till I was yanked out of the viewing of me

Till It all came to a close and next steps were being presented

Next steps

I have to move forward

I still had to take the experience

Bundle it in my coat

And take it home with me

On my dark and lonely walk home

I shivered

I shook

With every breeze

With every doubt

With every second of air that gave me not a single ounce of peace

It’s fall in the city

It’s a new kind of season

It’s a new section of this life

An oddly familiar and vastly unknown section of life

Idk what to expect

Ik I can talk myself up

I know I can cheerlead myway to a happy place

But it’s fall

It wants to be warm

It’s colors, the sweaters we buy

It all screams warmth

But it’s fall

It’s cold

Darkness last longer

There’s little time

And much to do
