Earlier today I spoke about why it is necessary to believe in yourself beyond reason. It’s something I internalize from a gold thread on here(guess it and I’ll send you a postcard). It’s fascinating because I didn’t feel nervous at all. I was moved by my own words. Every single word I spoke hit home like a truck. They felt so raw and true. I believe in this shit. I believe in myself, my direction, my work, and my dreams.

Yet I don’t know why I get the feeling like my speech was understood by me alone and not the people I gave it to. They all seemed horrified and looked as if I’m speaking a foreign language. I laughed inside because perhaps the way I speak is changing. Maybe I’m becoming the visionary and they’re just spectators.

The stuff from MJ is leaking out and I don’t know, I might just be going crazy to these people. Maybe we are all crazy for believing that we can build great things and not waste time watching Netflix. Damn. I can’t relate to these people anymore lol
