So, I was thinking the other day (I know, it's often dangerous), and I think my generation can really change things. It may seem cliche and stupid, but it's possible. I mean, I think some major things have to change in order to really be successful.
One of my major issues is race. I know, I know, it's a sensitive subject and it may cause some controversy, but this is where I stand: the quicker people stop caring about race, the quicker issues will be resolved. And that goes for ALL races. We're slowly escaping the old southern views that are blatantly fucked up, on both sides. Old people may have a ton of wisdom but their logic is out of date. The whole "look out for your own kind" theory is stupid. Old black folk: there's a difference between knowing our history and still living in it. Old white people: sorry, but chances are your daughter or granddaughter is gonna enjoy black dick. Just the nature of this new beast.
...I probably could've said that last bit a little better, huh?
I also think we need to explore and embrace our independence as individuals. I know way too many people who are constantly looking for happiness in the form of a significant other. I just don't believe in that. If you can't be happy on your own, you don't deserve anyone else. In a relationship, the other person is supposed to enhance your happiness, not be the one and only source of it. I can't stand that shit! Be okay and prosper on your own. That's what I try to do. If someone else just happens to want to be a part of it and actually fits, then it happens. I'm just sayin, people gotta fix that shit.
And, most importantly, we can't grow up! I mean, we need to be responsible citizens and shit, but we've got to make time for fun! I don't want to be the old guy that gets off work, sits around the house, creating bullshit small talk with the wife and kids. I want to be the guy that comes home, gets cleaned up, and does something, whether it be going out with some friends or throwing a party at the house. Or getting completely belligerent while tailgating for Carolina football (Go Cocks). I don't ever want to be considered "the old guy" who bores the living shit out of everyone. I think my boy Josh said it best: "youth has no age."
And it's completely possible. Take my sister for example. She's living proof. Educated to fullest extent, knows the history but embraces the future. Never known her to search for anyone else. In fact, never really known her to have a boyfriend. And she still has fun and handles all of her responsibilities. Last time we went out together, we went out, took shots, etc. It was a really good time! Result: happiness and success. She's a huge inspiration to me, I strive to be like her someday. My major downfall is the motivation...well, at least for the right things. Oh well lol!
Anyway, there's potential. It's real. Just comes down to who you want to be.
Let that marinade on ya brain, ya bish!
Out.
