Spiritual State

I didn't grow up believing in anything, particularly - not say that I was an atheist, that came much, much later. But I remember being connected to a larger sense of... truth, I suppose you'd call it that.


It was wild, being a six-year old; you have virtually no idea what's going on around you but adults doing a whole bunch of stuff you don't understand while you just play with your toys and look for things to complain about.


Grown ups would ask me questions surrounding the theme of the vision that I had for my future, and I didn't have answers. I don't ever remember thinking beyond the present moment, and even today, questions about my future are right around the corner from testing my patience because ''worrying about the future messes up the present''.


That's what I used to say when I was a kid. I've tried to abide by that same spirit but it's much harder now because I picked up lessons in anxiety and graduated before my time.


Still, I'm trying to find a balance betwixt my immersion in the moment and my foresight of the future. But my mountain is creating the ideals of the vision with no interest in the factual steps I need to take to bring it to life.


I think that's why CEOs have, like, management staff and stuff.


Wait, where was I?


Oh, yeah!


I never really got myself caught up in the future because, for me, it would come naturally as a result of the present. People get bent out of shape ''trying'' to be something or ''trying'' to have something but I say just be something.


Ain't no sense in tossing and turning because we're spiritual beings.


You do know that, don't you - that we're spiritual beings.


You may know but not fully understand it because you haven't uncovered the grand revelation of what that means for you, as an individual and that's okay. Cards on the table, I'm walking that path myself and I'm just like whaaaaaaaa-


Makes no sense, no sense at all. Like, none. Not even one, not a single one. I'm still trying to understand how the conscious reality I'm hallucinating right now will eventually end as a result of my heart stopping. It's not the biology that freaks me out but the comprising mechanics.


It finna be crazy.


Where was I, again?


Right, spiritual beings and stuff.


I'm willing to bet, pula to phane, that children are the wisest mammals on the planet - they just don't know how to articulate it.


Choose the reality you want for whatever reason and make as many excuses as you can think of but youth is the truth. Caged minds mistake the joy and optimism of youth as ignorance when it's really big-picture vision.


"It's only because you're young that you think or feel this way''.


True, but that's part of my charm, isn't it?


I'm young in my mind, plus, walking in the confidence and authority that I'm God's kid... with that at heart, forget it - I'm unstoppable.


Aging is inevitable, getting older is a choice.


Do you know want to know what your alternative is?


Getting better.
