Queer and Hungry for success

It starts as a jit. It starts when you are young. I'm a testament. The hunger grows and grows the older you get. And honestly, this is just not for queers only. Anyone who strives to be Successful or a business owner, they have these similar feelings. Its literally an empitness in your stomach that you try to fill. Its the desire to be at the top and strive for more. Even though thee feelings are valid, There is still upsides and downsides to the way you perceive your own success. Anyone who is on the pursuit of success, has the feelings that they maybe aren't doing enough. I want to let you know that you are doing enough and if you feel like you aren't, than one may need to reevaluate what and who is driving your motivation of success. A lot of  the time, comparison plays a huge role in how one views their success. This can come from a fellow associate, Social  media, or even your own loved ones. It's ok to go at the pace you are going. It's also ok to make mistakes along the way. No one has the perfect journey. Not everyone has someone that can assist and advise them of the right things to do. Also, If you are like me who is taking advantage of your time and making the effort to make something of your passion, you are doing exactly what you are suppose to do. Winging it is tough, but it's about the journey you take to get there. At least that's what I hear all the time or that's what I am being told. I am learning to accept that fact as well. As we all know, not everything processes quickly. It takes you to go through something to really absorb, understand and appreciate the words that have been advised to you. That too is ok. The turtle always wins the race. One of the many upsides to this is finding who you genuinely are. I personally am going through emotional changes to where I am looking for peace in the mist of my storm. I really rely on the story Beloved, written by Toni Morrison. In the story, she references water and the water is symbolic of birth, re-birth, and the escape to freedom. Im looking for my own escape to freedom.

Born Queer , Raised Queer, or ?

 There has always been this debate whether people were born queer or raised queer. Now I will say that this is not to offend anyone who is trying to work through traumas that are related to being queer. This is only to assist, heal and create open dialogue about what your twitter advocates seem to ignore. In the queer community, one of the questions that is always posed is "Were they born like this or were they touched?" I believe this to be a very open and honest question. People may think otherwise. However, I pose this question too. It means a lot to me when someone asks, because they can truly understand the person and their persona. The way that people ask may be the problem or the timing may also be the problem. Neither here nor there, For those who are queer and have had individual who have raised you into queer hood, there needs to be an understanding of how you became queer. Some people seem to judge the parents. It difficult for two opposite sex parents to accept th...

Queer and Hip Hop culture

 Kanye west just released a new album. Well its the sequel to his most recent venture. So I was on you guys favorite porn site twitter aka "X" , and this supposed Hip-hop influencer stated that no one was worried about the album anymore. I just sit back and think, how would someone who classifies themselves a s ship hop influencer or commentator, not care about one of the most innovative, original, talented,  voices in hip hop. Without Kanye, there wouldn't be a lot of artists today. So doing me, I commented and stated some real life things like, "Oh I bet you care now." Of course he lies for clout and to make himself seem right but why lie? For the queer community, if you are an artist, music for us is a true art form. From my personal experience, music is an escape for us. We use music to  make sense of what we are going through. And I just don't want to put this on only queer people. I think all people who enjoy a tune or two, use it to escape their reali...

Queer and Transitioning from Sad to Happy

So Its real and its not fake. It can actually happen for all of us. We can truly be happy. We just have to find our own lake. Or maybe its the transition from Summer to Fall. Who knows, but  I am finally able to see how someone can become happy. It's like Toni Morrison. Toni Morrison didn't truly find peace until she found a lake in her back yard. I say this to say, to all my queer and black readers, Find your lake like Toni Morrison. She found a lake that provided her peace. As she was given peace, she was able to actually write masterpieces and be recognized for her artistry and work. Peace and happiness are simultaneous energy. When you are able to disassociate yourself from others issues and problems, you are able to find the peace in your own situations. Now this doesn't that trails will not come about, but what this does mean is that you are able to control the narrative a little more. Instead of feeding into what's not working out, you are able to feed into how t...
