I don't know.

What a painful, disoriented way to grow.

When you aim to climb high but have no clue where to go.

You feel low, oh so low.

Unfortunately, I don't know any growth that isn't this way.

Staring into the dark to find a light bulb one day.

Consumed by the darkness, you wait with hope.

Praying for a lifeline, a life jacket, any kind of rope.

Ignorance before growth, what a strange life rule.

We're supposed to enjoy the process but the process to our dreams feels pretty cruel.

Spent 2 years focused, there’s no question if I can repeat It.

Focus is something anyone can a Ford why lease It?

I’m trying to keep the victories to myself but i’m starting to secrete It.

How do I know when I’ve reached my mind?

Such intelligence is not something you build but a substance you find.

Enlightenment is found on a retreat from sustained ignorance and conformity.

No separation can be made on a common path followed for such a path is taken normally.

How do I know when I’ve had my day?

Acceptance of uncertainty, to surf is to be constantly prepared, should this be my wave.

Gravity is the same irrespective of perception, views created by man attach balloons to the grounded.

The day you look like you’ve lost your mind to the masses, you’ve finally found It.

When you pause on a mountain there’s a vast path to the peak, to turn back isn’t short either.

Distance will not depend on earthly metrics but rather if the mind is one of an achiever.

To quit may be quick but life is long when you sell yourself short.

Life is not a game but It is the ultimate sport.  

you see we’re aging, people are getting married, having sons and daughters.

Some people hate this but the best parts of any sport are the 3rd and 4th quarters.

I made It this far off of effort & a good coach, at long last, I know the rules.

If your life was a 30 for 30, would It be a bland cookie cutter path or would there be an actual jewel?

I’ve realized the end of an earthly life isn’t the fear, we fear what we will be thinking when we die.

I don’t know about you, but I’m terrified to arrive there knowing I didn’t try.

When your time is free, what do you do with It? These birthdays feel like timeouts but the clock is still ticking.

Dreams unrealized are the only things we should be concerned with missing.

Hocus Pocus,

I’m super focused.

Globalization + a declining reserve currency? This time was meant to be mine.

Knowledge & magic intertwined, I'm like Seneca  & Michael Marcus in their prime.

Please don’t reach out to me.

Think too much Harry Potter got to me.

Trading too ease, I’m plucking them out by the 3’s.

I always felt like just 5 days was disrespectful to the beach.

Freedom shouldn't feel like something we have to sneak.

You get what I mean?

There’s no I, but I’m pretty sure I can put the M behind my team and….

I waited my turn, didn’t ever get jealous.

I’m bald, I hope you don’t notice the swelling.

If the stock go down, you know that I’m selling.

Poet turned wizard, I doubled my spelling.

& I’m not worried bout a crash or It snapping

Cause Plucky gone be short when It happen.

Show me your friends, I’ll show you your future, everybody numbers up.

Best friend a world champion, I’m a wizard aka the runner up.

Life is a time where you truly only need one chef in the kitchen.

The real chefs conjure with what they have, spending no time on what’s missing.

Imagine your kitchen, what would you make if you had the ability to improvise like Ramsey?

So why do you pray with doubt, surely God can make your dreams with what you have can’t he?

The pessimist sees a pigeon where the optimist sees a dove.

Pick up those pots, heat up that oven, and grab some gloves.

I see friends in the pantry, breathe, youth, and all that love.

Your glass is  half full with those ingredients? You have enough.
