Find someone who you can connect with on infinite levels while both of you encourage one another to chase your dreams... Together.

You never know how close you are to becoming a monster until you lose almost everything & everyone & are left with more pain than you know what do with. The younger you experience heavy loss, the more your eyes are open to the darkness inside & all around you. Peace is something you have to find after years of chaos & war on all fronts. Every day is a different battle & the greatest one is not letting it consume you & keep from showing how much it’s hurting you to the outside world so they don’t mirror & amplify the pain even more. Once you can keep that monster inside tame enough to not let it be a hindrance, you’ll recognize what it takes to transcend it.

Music has the power to wake ppl up. It inspires them. Encourages them. Helps them through Hell so it hurts a lil less. It can also pacify them. Keep them in a trance. Pay close attention to the frequency. See how it moves you. Pushes you. Pulls you. Feeds you. They kill our heroes for a reason. To sever that bond & keep the trauma tied to us through a voice that becomes just a memory. The art preserves their spirit. Keeps it alive. They can’t take that away so they dull the culture & dumb everyone down so new heroes don’t take the old one’s place. That’s why you have to remind them, that spirit can never die.

@theralkia just cuz their heart’s beating doesn’t mean they’re alive

Just meditated and remembered that most people have never done that in their entire lives How do they even stay alive man

I agree with your initial point however I’ve lived here 23 yrs & it’s def more unsafe now than 5-10 yrs ago & much of that is due to reduced budget for law enforcement & corrupt local govt. I had my car broken into twice in 14 months recently & until then that had never been a problem.

@TheRealJeffMac5 @AustinGymB The point is it’s not reality. I am in Austin monthly for work and my best friend lives there. She nor I have ever felt unsafe, and when she has ever called the police for her work they were there instantly. This just isn’t true data 😂

Amarillo Texas (red city) has a higher crime rate than Austin Texas (blue city) You simply cannot use democratic leadership as a explanation for crime rates.

@otheranthonyOA @_Zeets this is exactly how I felt listening to the album. I’d hear a song I like & b like “k this is the lane you should be in rn” then the next song im like “again with ts??” It’s like he’s trying too hard. Like bro there’s no need for all that smh

@_Zeets You can tell his fuming emerging from the beef but none of his punchlines hit at all. All the little disses rhyme for sake of rhyming. He randomly goes off on one every now and again across "ICEMAN". A lot of "why-I-oughtta!" energy lol

My opinion hasn’t changed from years ago — his actual rapping ability regressed into remedial nonsense when he leaned into writing lines for IG captions instead of storytelling. Every line is written for groupies to post instead of building to a good song.

@_Zeets @tweet_amulya he had more to say back then bc his entire identity wasn’t “I have more money & women than you.” He cared bout his craft more than trying to prove something then it all got lost amidst his success

@tweet_amulya I don’t think this is fair. His earlier albums feel more cohesive and songs weren’t a collection of random collage of lines over a nice beat.

This mirrors my entire life experience. I was able to move through social groups like a chameleon & find commonalities to build friendships but as I got older that feeling I always had just intensified & eventually I just couldn’t compromise my true feelings to be around ppl who were never gonna understand nor meet me at my depth. It’s incredibly lonely & maybe there’s no permanent home at least not til more ppl in the world catch up.

I have always felt as though I have never belonged, regardless of whether acceptance was present, because if you cannot be perceived for who you are, be understood for who you are, it is not true acceptance. For as long as I can remember, regardless of how furiously I charged forward, I have constantly felt as though I were swimming between dimensions and layers, none of which felt quite like me. All I truly had was an internal knowing of what me felt like - thus, belonging is almost a word that carries a tinge of playful trickery, it feels a little too rigid for me, for it is not really belonging that I seek, but something akin to existential resonance, because resonance is dynamic - to feel shared frequency, intimate textures, to know at your very core that you are not alone. By some indescribable miracle, I have felt this within the interpersonal realm, and with misted eyes, I sensed an undulating undercurrent of melancholy at how readily some people seem to enjoy it. I then found myself wondering whether I would even be who I am today had I felt this all along. But when it comes to places, I have never felt as though I belonged in one particular location. I have travelled through many obscure countries, witnessed great wonders, hidden nooks, alleyways, and quiet places known only to locals, yet while I feel that places possess souls, I have only ever experienced transient flashes of resonance with them. I simultaneously chuckle at the absurdity of my endeavours, that although I am searching for definitive coordinates, what I am truly feeling for is energetic congruence. I do not know where I belong in terms of what home feels like within a place, or even whether that is the right lens through which to approach it, yet I carry this honeydew melon hope within me that one day I will. It is almost subtly comedic that I call myself the soul cartographer, yet I have still not discovered where I am meant to be. Perhaps it is not one place at all, and that is both the lesson and the joke, but rather somewhere in between worlds - or maybe that which I must weave into reality.

We change without each other. We also change with each other. Question is if it’s for the better or not. That’s what you have to answer. That’s the lesson in it all.

The world broke me down. God rebuilt me. Angels guided me through the hard parts. Demons kept me on my toes. Other ppl became mirrors. All of it led me through Hell with enough left in me to tell a story or 2 later on.

@jamesrambin he’s what led my down my conspiracy theory rabbit hole I never made it out of 😅

completely forgotten to people under a certain age that when this movie came out alex jones was a beloved local figure among the vaguely progressive crunchy austin counterculture, like dennis kucinich bumper sticker bouldin creek cafe chronicle readers. hard to explain now

The ppl naturally built for long term companionship & legacy building will always inhabit loyalty as a primary character trait so if that’s what you want that’s what you have to have & the main quality you should be looking for. You’re all doing this shit wrong.

There are parts of me that have been broken for so long I just got used to them being severed so I never learned what wholeness felt like during various stages of my life. I didn’t know they could be fixed. I never thought about trying. Most of where I am now is new territory.

Love cannot exist in a space where you’re too scared to show your most vulnerable self. So afraid of how you might be viewed by the outside world you hide every part of your struggle bc the thought of being shunned terrifies you at your core when truth is you’ve already become isolated from both the outside world & yourself. If you can’t be comfortable with owning up & admitting to your mistakes, mishaps & failures then you’ll never be fully whole & continue to repeat old patterns & cycles bc you can’t let go of the image you want others to accept as you while denying what’s hiding beneath the surface.

I’m not a fan of modern content creation culture bc very few ppl share how they actually feel & show who they rly are. They perform for clicks, views & fake connections to feed a persona they’ve curated for mass consumption meanwhile hiding who they actually are deep down. The more they normalize this behavior the more it creates a detachment from real human experiences & honest expression. We can’t grow as ppl or a culture by faking who we are like a pretend Hollywood movie/tv script. How can you ever know what authenticity is if you’re too scared to fully embrace it?

I wrote this song for the ones who kept moving forward even when they felt lost open.spotify.com/track/5RL9JHvh…

I spent most my life trying to fill a void inside me with things that only made it bigger. I’m only recently facing my reckoning for it all. I only hope I can undo all the damage it caused to do something useful that actually matters with however much time I have left.

@AustinJustice I’m not sure what’s worse, the crooked & corrupt local officials & judicial system here or the incompetence of the ppl who keep electing these bastards as they continue to run everything into the ground.

AUSTIN MAN charged with trying to solicit a child was granted a one-dollar bond by a Travis County judge. He absconded. Last month, Austin PD pulled over a car leaving a South 1st game room for a traffic violation. Jorge Rodriguez, 35, was in the passenger seat. He gave officers a fake name. They found a meth pipe in his backpack. A records check turned up his outstanding warrant on the child solicitation case. While transporting him to jail, the officers realized Rodriguez had slipped his handcuffs. They pulled over on the I-35 service road. When they opened the back door, he bolted out and charged at them. The officers tackled him to the pavement as he tried to bite the officer's face, and had to be punched in the head five times before he stopped fighting. Both officers left the scene bleeding. Rodriguez has 25 cases in Travis County, of which nine were felonies -- - 3 for family violence assault - 2 for burglary - 2 for cocaine - 1 for robbery, and - online solicitation of a child. Two were outright dismissed, two were reduced to misdemeanors, and two ended in probation he later violated. His longest sentence was 2 years in prison. Three pending felonies. Zero jury trials in any of his prior cases.

I have little to no faith in humans myself but I’m always willing to keep an open mind & consider whether someone is what they claim to be but having to tolerate ppl who act like they know everything about how this all works when I can tell they’re full of shit tests me daily.
