You know what's funny? It's okay. I'll give you time to guess...

Did you get it yet?

Alright, alright. I'll be nice. What's funny is life? We are born into it and nobody ever bothered to give us the manual? Were just expected to kind of know how things work. Lol, as if most people do. I know I don't.

Well, not exactly.

That was in my past. Growing up I never really had a grasp on what life was really all about. I had many different personality changes growing up. I tend to call these my personality phases. Each phase building on the one before it and each new phase growing more steadily to incorporate more of what I will call my genuine identity.

Yeah, I know. You've got a confused look in your eyes... Genuine what?

Lol, its okay.

Let me take you by the hand and sit you by the warm fire so that I can bestow some wisdom for you.

I'm going to tell you how I became the person I am today. Who I am today is nothing like the person I used to be. Growing up I was very shy and reserved, even though I didn't want to be. I  was a quiet kid for a very simple reason. What was that reason?

It was simple.

I didn't want to be fake.

You got that right?  I'll say it again for the one's that were scratching their nose or picking their ass.

It's quite easy to see how mass society acts much like a grazing herd. They eat the same way, drink the same way and hang around in the same places. I'm using this metaphor to describe like minded behaviors.

It disgusts me, but nevertheless I will continue this discourse. You see, growing up I was influenced by the people around me. This included my parents, friends teachers and various figures that I saw on TV. They influenced how I saw the world and what I accepted to be true.

I couldn't have been any more wrong.

The fact of the matter is that I began to slowly change. I experimented with many different personalities. I even tried being the whole gangsta thug type black guy lol, talking in Ebonics. I even sagged my pants and called women bitches.

That phase didn't last a long time. Slowly after many more phases I started to learn more about myself and my interests. I started to be these things and express myself the way I wanted to express my self. You know... Say what I want when I want to say it, act how I want when I want to act it, and be who I wanted to be when I wanted to be it.

I did this because I figured out something that should be put in a manual and given to every youngster once they are able to speak, read and ask questions.

Life is about expressing yourself. It's blending your desires in the moment with the artistic movements of your actions which to all of us is unique and individual. It's like synthesizing the moment and dancing to the rhythm of your passion. Once you've mastered one dance move you move on to another more expressive, more exciting one that floods your veins with exuberance, thrill and excitement. And the world is our stage :)

I hope that made sense, but if not here is the simple definition.

Life's about having fun :) "Chicken soccer nuts" Jimmy burger hamster cock"

You see. We often forget that were all very unique. No one person is alike. Our personalities are as unique as our finger prints. Why waste it trying to cater to whats normal or in.

This also explains why the friends I've been attracting into my life are the wild ones, the mavericks, the unusuals, the outliers, the misfits, the ones that dare to test the boundaries of acceptable social behaviors or ways of being.

Those are my favorite types of people

If your an absolute nut. Hit me up. well probably get a long just fine.

And I'm not talking about nut, in the sense that you've gone bonkers or anything. I'm talking about the ones that are crazy enough to acknowledge their wants and desires in life. I'm talking about the ones that look at their circumstances and realize that they do not matter when compared to the grand scheme of their dreams

Let me cut this short and explain to you what this story could not do in a sentence or two.

Be yourself because passion is your currency. With passion you'll attract anything that you desire in your life because a feeling that powerful and grandiose will find its way to inspire, compel and motivate other people to see your creations in the way you've seen it.

Will you continue to hang around the hive drinking from the honey that everybody else is drinking from.

Or will go out on a venture and find your own source of sweet honey, from which others will soon be attracted to because of the sweet taset of your passion?

I leave you with this quote and song. Let the lyrics speak for themselves.

"Craft your reality. Infuse meaning with direction. Carve out a picture so grand That only you could appreciate it."

- From my poem “Eternal Conviction” Read it here

Band: Psycrence (Progressive Melodic Metal)

Song: Moral Decay

It will inspire the shit out of you !

We currently in the era of awakening :)

Pleasesuppurt my secondary blogs by following

zoneofpoetry

zoneofquotes

Hello everyone. I’m writing this post today so that I can address you about the content of zoneofexpnsion.

Since I've started this blog, I’ve had a vague idea of how I wanted to use it, but the idea was still not clear enough. I figured that i would share my creative interests with the world. Soon after this I found out that a multi-subject blog was a bad idea for me,

So I set out and created secondary blogs that streamline my creative pursuits and house them on one blog. (It makes it easier for people to follow you)

For the most part, this has been better for me. It allows whoever is interested in my art, or poetry or short stories to be able to focus on just one of those things at a time, instead of a constant barrage of many creations, lol.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking for a while about how to use my primary channel.

It’s not been an easy task for me. For a man with many interests this has proved quite difficult.

Well, not really actually. I was mostly fighting with what I wanted to do between what I think people wanted to see.

The demons of my mid bid farewell to my sanity... Lol, no joking, but it kinda felt like that.

I am going to be taking a radical approach in the direction of this blog.

Here is the plan. Prepare yourselves :)

My channel zoneofexpansion is now going to be a synthesization of all my creative pursuits in conjunction with inspirational messages.

To put it in other terms I will be writing inspiring rhetoric utilizing ethos, pathos and logos to move people emotionally. This may be in generalities such as enjoying life or specifics as in how to get over a break up.

My art, poetry, music and short stories will be posted side by side and be created to bolster my inspirational messages.

For example, say that I was writing an inspirational message about following your passion, In my post the message will be there, but along side it, I will also have art or poem or music, that I make that’s directly related to that subject matter.

Also if you are not into the law of attraction, which i tend to call the expansion of awareness, then I suggest you unfolllow.

I believe that our beliefs generate the signal our emotions, which then shape our perception. Since the term law of attraction is used in the new age community and is more widespread to describe how we create our reality, I will be using it..
