Today, I took the time out to look at my surroundings and myself. I saw two different ones today, the college life and the street life. As a commuter student, it's mad hard for me to get that feel for the campus, since it seems like I'm only there for school and limited times to kick it with the homies. Another thing is that I felt uncomfortable on campus becauseĀ I felt thatĀ the majority of the peeps there didn't have to go through what I went through to get there. Mooching off their rich parents, being fed with a silver spoon, doing whatever the fuck they want. But that's the environment I must get used to because that's how it's going to be throughout the rest of my life. And please believe I'm already adapting.
The surrounding I was used to was a hostile, rugged, depressing environment. Foreclosed homes, Run down neighborhoods, and people who believe that they have nothing else to do with their lives after high school or even junior high slangin and getting that dirty money. I was, and still am very well off compared to other people in BrocktonĀ throughout my life, but I was surrounded by the wrong influence. I could've easily gotten into the gutta shit people die from day by day. The sad thing is that I was used to this! But good for me, I still come out as a young man with dreams to make a reality and a reason to keep pushing. I just gotta keep it moving if anything negative comes my way. Word up
