17/11/2015- Defining decade- 2. Start letting go of your ego.
This is something I strive to do. I can admit I sometimes like to flaunt shit. But really in the end what’s the point . Who do I have to prove myself to but myself ? Letting go of my ego has been a slow process especially since my rap days. I guess sort of losing that Internet buzz i had around 2005 has sort of humbled myself. Everything comes around full circle I guess?. As a kid growing up I used to shy away from attention to the extent it made me socially awkward. I would be uncomfortable being in large groups, playing sports. Trying new things , and avoiding anything to do with public speaking at all cost. Soon as i started rapping I became a different version of myself. Not going to go too deep into this cause to me it’s not relevant anymore but it certainly did create an ego that made me believe I was better than everyone else. When I look back now i just laugh like , who’s this clown lol. All I know is life will be full of successes and failures and the biggest thing I learnt from the music is one day yeh I might be feeling on top, in my prime , but whatever goes up must come down and coming back down you’ll feel stupid for ever having that ego in the first place. So these days I’m gonna be genuine and discreet about my successes, only share to those who matter, no need to justify and prove myself on social media and everyone, concentrate on other areas of my personality and give the right people praise and attention who are always there and reciprocate. Cause there’s too many ppl out there who pretend to be happy for you but eagerly await your downfall.
16/11/15 Defining decade - 1. Write down your goals
Ok so it’s 7:00pm on a Monday, I’ve just finished at the gym and on the train home, I’ve decided to jot down how much I’ve applied from the article I previously posted in my own life, and want to progressively post about all 19 sections each day (hopefully) as a mini exercise to see where I can improve and what I’m doing right.
So without further-a-do, Writing down my own goals. I am a year away leaving my 20s and still feel very unaccomplished. This is what I want to accomplish by my 30s.
1. I want to travel, no not a holiday for a week or so, I mean totally be amongst it. Live as minimal as possible, see views I can only dream about, meet people from around the world. Wether I end up going for a 3 - 6 month stretch or working overseas for a year I want to do it. And now is definitely the time to as working visas are only applicable for under 30s.
2.I want to be fit, looks wise being ripped is a bonus, when you look good you feel good and I havnt felt that way in awhile. As a teenager I was extremely skinny/scrawny and there was a small transition when I grew “into” my body and for some time I was at a weight and build I was happy with. By my early 20s I started to abuse eating habits and alcohol and the dreaded beer belly took over. A more Physical or tangible goal? If I’m using that word correctly is to get rid of this gut and be at my physical prime.
3. Find something I love to do and pursue it . Insurance broking is definitely not my calling , it is my job. I don’t hate it , but it’s doesn’t do anything for me other then get me by financially. I mean I will always have that skill set, and jobs will always be available at all levels, but I want to take that risk. Make that jump. Wether it means a switch in career, starting a business, re-pursuing my music, as long as it’s good for the soul I want to be involved in it no matter what.
4.This one seems kinda related to the previous but something I hold close to my heart. I want to finish my mixtape. Somewhere deep in my iTunes library I have variations and different playlists of what I feel or believe may be my last body of work as Natz Blazin. I can accept my relevance today in the music scene i once was fully accustomed to is gone but as a testimony and tribute to a time I once use to define who I was, I need to complete it. It feels like unfinished business and I don’t want to keep talking about this mixtape that I had but never released, I want showcase this work that took a few years in the making and captured these defining moments growing up in my 20s
Ok so obviously I have way more goals then that, but these were he first 4 big goals that popped on my head so they significantly mean a lot to me. I’ll be making a short term list for my own personal reference later. Anyways back in the hood (Minto) that’s all from me this Monday!! 2moro I’ll drop the next one. Poice !
The Changing Timetable For Adulthood (And What It Means For You)
The Changing Timetable For Adulthood (And What It Means For You)
In 2010 Robin Marantz Henig wrote a brilliantly and eloquently crafted article for The New York Times about the changing timetable for adulthood. Her piece titled What Is It About 20-Somethings? morphed scientific research, sociological discovery, and cultural hypotheses into a call to action for twenty-somethings.
Henig’s main thesis works to uncover why young people are taking longer to reach…

Making the best of things is a damn poor way of dealing with them. My life has been a series of escapes from that quicksand.

“But while the urban tribe helps us survive, it does not help us thrive. The urban tribe may bring us soup when we are sick, but it is the people we hardly know - those who never make it into our tribe - who will swiftly and dramatically change our lives for the better.”

Adults don’t emerge. They’re made.
