out with the old in with the new...
Well i have shaved my dreads off and i feel and look like a new man..I am 8months now into soberity and as i clean up inside its transcending outward now...there was a lot of negative energy in those dreads and it was amazing how light and free i felt when i shaved them off...I also shaved off the anger jealousy fear and im replacing it with Love Compassion and Wisdom.Also i spent like 5hrs the other day shopping on myself(new shoes,shirts,jeans,hoddy,hat,wallet)looking good and feeling good,,,when i was a street punk i really didnt give a shit about my appearence and it was a reflection of how i felt about myself.Now im turning a new leaf and new direction focusing on positive energy and actions.HomelessNation has really helped me direct my actions into some positive outcomes...I dont feel that anger against the system as i use too but am more focused on filmmaking and helping people in tough times.I cant be of much help if im in a fit of rage,if i come from a place with peace of mind i can open myself more to really providing service & outreach to my community...Also its not a feeling of us against them but we are in this together,the fight i was fighting was within myself as i learn to Love myself it takes flight and now willing & able to Love others...much patience,patience be with all of us.
Respectfully.
