HI HI HI HI
I feel extremely professional doing this post and that’s because
as you can see from the title, this is some serious stuff. I am one to definitely
mess around and have fun and I act like I don’t get sensitive and I do, really
stuff matters. It doesn’t matter how old you are or of it relates to you, it
does.
So I’m not going to be my usual cherry self. I love to mess
around but also when things get serious, I do too.
When I grow up I want to work in children and youth
development all over the world, I wanted to specify in just art, but art most definitely
is not the only way children and youth can be developed in our generation.
Funny, I’ve heard a lot of trash talked about how our generation isn’t as
bright as the previous generation and isn’t going to do as much things, and it
does hurt, I hope I’m getting some people’s attention on this, having your
generation be seen as the one generation that “ won’t have anything to pass on
the next generation” man.. That’s offensive as hell, but see thing is that genuinely
we have been trained in leaving it all to the adults, you want to get stuff
done you have to ask those older than you for it. Today I got sent a video of Michelle
Obamas last speech as first lady of the USA it really spoke to me. (She will be
missed, the legacy she has left shall forever be honored).
In my country, we have the notion that we are what they we
are, and I don’t appreciate that thought. Every youth is too busy following
trends to create trends of their own. The economy isn’t what it used to be and I
can understand this, but yet, this is our country, you have no other home. So
an idea, instead of sitting there and complaining the way the adults are, get
up and do something about it. I remember last year talking to my dad about
getting a job, he said no, but bus reason made me understand why. My dad and my
mom both run their own businesses and they encouraged me to never be satisfied working
for somebody else, it’s the same as trying to actualize someone else’s dream,
no one wants their own passion to be sidelined for anther persons.
Art has been an amazing medium for everything I believe in,
art is not just a thing it’s a way of life. Everything is pure creativity.
What I’m getting at is, don’t be a follower, make trends, and
start up things that will help you as well as help other people, don’t just sit
there and be sidelined as the worst generation ever, stand up and create
things, grow, lean, experience. I believe in my generation, I believe in us, in
youths in pace setters in us. Each person on earth has a God given talent and
gift that has been blessed by those we surround ourselves with, every teacher,
every mentor, every book, every song, every swipe, every stroke every encounter
hast either taken a little piece of us or blessed us with much more. I am happy to say that I have mostly be
blessed. So I challenge you today to not be the crowd.
BE THE ATTRACTION
