'When You Smoke The Herb, It Reveals You To Yourself" Bob Marley :-]

"Think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you; When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that, we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell, we should never teach. " -Maya Angelou

I didn't realize how easy it is to just get caught up in a systemic life without really deciphering what makes an individual different from everyone else. not my parents, family history, or cultural background, but me personally. Its so easy to conform && do what's expected, but realizing who u really are, finding out what u truly believe in, and what kind of morals you posses is worth all the time that it takes to break down the walls && barriers that you may have set to hide what or who you are...

I'm working on it daily, and the possibility of finally understanding myself is what lures me into the quiet reflective state that I enter throughout the day. Til tomorrow, I suppose :)
