#whatsyourmessage

no one is ever alone.

i spent the entire day by myself but i wasn’t alone at all.

hopsin, jcole and nicki minaj were with me.

all of my social media friends were with me.

the people who cooked my foco food were with me.

the architect of my dorm building was with me.

i was completely surrounded by others ideas, passions, projects and labor.

even though i don’t know most of these people and i wasn’t consciously thinking out it,

their work and messages were speaking to me the whole day.

think of it like this:

you have a poster hanging on your wall.

whoever designed that poster is effecting your unconscious literally every time you are in your room.

the subject, colors and layout all convey something

and as creatures who are aware of their surroundings, we pick up on that stuff.

..whether we realize it or not.

when i think about these things, the only thing on my mind is the responsibility that comes with creation.

I’ve always loved to create things; but over the past few years i really started thinking about the messages my creations convey.

the effects of my actions scare the shit out of me.

i want to be someone that uses my mediums to inspire love and cultivate beauty.

i want the collage i make to scream interconnectedness

i want the building i design to encourage openness

i want the dance i choreography to convey freedom

i know that i don’t have control over the way people interpret my art,

but art is kind of like mind control.

if i paint a picture of a tomato, you’re going to think “tomato”… just saying.

the truth is, i know i have a lot to offer the world.

the reality is, I’m afraid af.

idk. think about it in your own life.

what things effect you every day that you aren’t even aware of?

what is your music saying to you?

what are the decorations in your room saying?

what are you saying?

do they match?
