- Seriously contemplating getting a spiral tattoo. I really like what they stand for and feel like it correlates into my  life. It's a symbol for evolution and holistic growth, letting go and release, expanding awareness, balance and the general path of life. One thing I read about spirals that really got me thinking was that they are depictions of how as we continue on our path in life, we often cross similar paths but in different ways, gaining knowledge as we go. I kind of imagine that the innerdepths of the spiral symbolizes the inner consciousness and deeper thought as you traverse through the path of life and the outer rings translate to our outward perception, external awareness, ego etc...Starting from something small in the center and then growing and knowing more as we mature or looking at things from a more material stand point and then looking deeper inside yourself to realize enlightenment and the unseen essence. Kind of trippy but I like it.

Betas

- Had a conversation with a friend of mine the other day about A type vs. B type personalities. She felt that I was an Alpha type because she stated that she notices me pushing myself to try and live my dreams and I don't really shy away from much, but also still a Beta. I told her that I feel as if I'm strictly a Beta because it may seem like that to you from the outside looking in, but to me I feel as if I haven't made the biggest of strides in things that I want to accomplish yet. I also feel as if i'm really laid back and that I could push myself more to be better. I also asked how can one be an Alpha and a Beta when theory states that you can only be one or the other. She told me in reality we're all basically Betas. The ones who feel as if they're Alphas always have a strive for more, are highly competitive, feel as if they're goals must be accomplished in a certain amount of time and continue to push themselves. People who are huge success stories usually are still pushing themselves to go bigger and better because they feel as if there is no ceiling for them to hit. Once they reach their goals in a set amount of time, they must continue to climb towards their next goal which ultimately destroys that prior concept of time. These actions and desires is what will make them a Beta in the end. I thought about that statement and fell in love with it.

Manifestation

So I was hanging with my friends at my homegirls crib the other day. She had this idea to have all of her friends that visit her to tag up her wall with grafitti of their choice which I thought was dope. Gives the room a lot of character. So my other friend who does a lot of trippy kind of artwork decided to put a huge random piece of her own on her closet door which was bare. As her piece started to manifest I asked her “how do you know what you’re going to make when you start?” She tells me “I don’t. I usually just start with a base but as time goes by ideas and pictures start to form in my head and that’s what I lay down on the canvas. Once I finish what i’m working on, that was actually the image I had in my subconscious that finally manifests itself”. Her statement had me floating for a while because I used to draw alot myself but mainly images I had seen before or copies of work already done but I could never create my own personal piece of work because I didn’t understand how to bring the images in my head into life. I always thought she was real talented, but actually being able to witness her put this piece together in person blew my mind and made me appreciate what she does even more. Dope

The Bright Side

- Trying not to dwell on the what if's or have regrets. All it seems to do is hinder the momentum that keeps pushing me forward in life. Although it sounds cliche' i'd rather look at everything from the past as a lesson learned that can only make me better. Sort of a pseudo bright-side of a darker reality if that makes sense to you. Kind of keeps me going at times where things seem to be slower. I guess i've finally come to the realization that I have a million dreams, but only one reality...
