🦋 1.6 —FLIGHT—

(don’t worry this the last long ass, sentimental ass, corny ass, ted talk ass post b4 drop @ midnight)
*tmrw my birthday so talk to me sweet!*

——

This one’s a prayer. For flight. For the ability to rise above and beyond any obstacles in front of or inside us. For the strength to push through the days.. weeks..months we feel like quitting. For the compassion to forgive and embrace others and their differences & the ability to use those differences to broaden our own perspective. For instinct to know when we should fly away & when we’ve flown too far. For wisdom to better understand ourselves, others, and the world around us. For faith when we don’t see a clear path ahead. For gratitude & acceptance when our egos get in the way. For courage when fear prevents us from moving forward. For patience when we want to smack the shiiiiiiit out of a customer who just treated you like hot garbage at your $15/hr retail job. (but also for patience in a less hostile context) For good health. For good experiences. For learning experiences. For laughter. For grace. For communication. For some new revenue revenue revenue revenue💰!! For an impactful, joy-filled existence here on earth and a beautiful existence beyond this life; whatever that may look like. I pray to fly.

(I pray y’all play this joint on repeat for a month & a half until your ears bleed & get me some looks so I don’t catch a felony at Verizon)

I pray for Love.

Amen.

Thank you to everyone who helped in anyway on this joint…or helped me over these last 2 years be a functioning human being.Thank you Bari & Stoic & Matt & Bob & Daniel & Demo & Chris & Lauren & Riley & Xik & Teah & everyone who painstakingly listened through every rough mix along the way. Thank you to my day 1s who kept me grounded. Thank you to every mf who shares my shit & shows me genuine love & support. Ū quite literally keep me going. I hope if this track does well it creates a butterfly effect (ayoo) & provokes people to come back and read this series of posts. They mean a lot to me & helped me be more comfortable being vulnerable about who I am on the internet. I hope you enjoy.

🦋1.5 —POTENTIAL—

I used to hate the word ‘potential’ because of how it reminded me of what I hadn’t achieved yet. My whole life I was told I had it but needed more focus & discipline to fulfill it. That really pissed me off. I was impatient & wanted instant gratification. I would get super excited about a new endeavor or experience & then get burnt out before fully seeing it through. The only two things I’ve ever been able to 100% fully focus in on are throwing a baseball and writing words…a lot of words & songs. I wasn’t good enough to play baseball past high school so I followed my friends and went to a big university to have a social life when I didn’t have the discipline or the funds to do so. My dad filled out my student loan shit wrong, and I dropped out after a year. I did a bunch of acid, met a promoter, and did some crazy shows with my best friend @jacksunskyhills & had more fun than I think I realized at the time. I met a lot of people & and made a lot of money and lost a lot of money. I got evicted after a roommate was stealing rent from us for a lean habit. Jackson picked me up & let me stay on his futon in his studio apt. for a month & a half until I got back on my feet. I annoyed him…without friends and moments like that I would’ve never had the support or the confidence to pursue what I love and try to fulfill my potential…that fucking potential. I spent so much time thinking about time I’ve already wasted & dwelling on the past. In reality, those decisions gave me beautiful stories to tell & molded me into myself. I’m beyond thankful for every friend, family member, and passing kind soul I’ve come in contact with who gave me a piece of their time and themselves to shed light on me. Bless you. Wasted potential is heartbreaking. In that same breath, fear of failure will 11 times out of 10 hold you back from ever harnessing that potential & fulfilling it…and if you want to EXCEED that POTENTIAL…shit keep good people around you & stop being lazy. My story is truly minuscule to some of the phenomenal stories of resilience I’ve had the honor of hearing or seeing. We have so much more depth than we’re willing to give each other credit for.

WED.

🦋1.4 —DISSECTION—

I overanalyze a lot. I give excruciating attention to detail (when it’s something I’m excited about at least). But I’ve wasted entirely too much time & potential overthinking shit..giving my best attempt at being a perfectionist. It made me indecisive. I was always the last kid to finish my ITBS test. I fckn crushed those ITBS tests too..but I was still always one of the last to finish those ITBS tests. For those of you who aren’t hip to ITBS tests, that’s short for ‘Iowa Test Of Basic Skills’ & it was the most tedious week of scan-tron & hand cramping a 5th grader could stomach. Anyway..overtime that trait of over-analyzation carried over into almost everything I did. Throwing a baseball. Writing a song. Watching movies. Getting to know someone. Listening to music. Waking into a grocery store. Studying my favorite artists. Being in a new social setting. I dissected everything and tried to examine everything and everyone from all angles. I would play devil’s advocate in my head all the time; weighing out scenarios and the possible outcomes and conjuring up hypotheticals. I was (and am still) in constant thought..mind racing even when fully exhausted. Ironically, most of my favorite ideas come to me when I’m about to fall asleep (or driving or showering or shitting)..so I either have to force myself to wake up & work on that idea, or let it go & subconsciously hate myself. I love my brain but I wish it had a more linear way of functioning. Most of my best ideas also come when I least expect them. I wrote ‘Something’ in 45 min in the middle of a house party with one working headphone sitting right next to Mason playing a whole different BPM on the tables; my point being that the universe has a funny way of forcing creation out of you in weird moments and I’ve been disciplining myself to recognize & capture those moments more often. While I still over-analyze all the time, taking advantage of those moments of clarity has helped me be less critical of myself & others..and a lot more productive. I pray for consistency to keep that productivity & energy alive.

-dam thank u 4 all the pre saves🫶🏼-
