Not just love but everything. Life is imagination. Life is drama. Life is chill. Life is chaos and beauty in attempting perfection and failing. Life is closed doors and coursing blood. Life is urgent because it’s ending. Life is never-ending with a different perception. Life is exhausting but life is energy to be all. Life is now but life is memories and old and fading. Life is a newborn baby. Life is you and I when are egos and history separate us. Life is you and I when we recognize we are part of one another. Life is the all-mighty mind forever expanding once we say it so. Life is evolution through struggle. Life is never accepting being comfortable. Life is a womb. Life is soul yet soul is beyond. Soul is 1.
Dark times lead to strange questions. Strange questions lead to weird answers and that’s good because it’s real …because life is real and really weird. Discover yourself and paint the world with what you find.
This is your reminder to be the change you wish to see in the world. After many centuries of recorded scientific discovery, feats of genius in the artists, theorizing, and education to eradicate the social ignorance that is at the root of inequality amongst billions of individuals of the same kind…the humankind …somehow we have found ourselves in a strange situation that doesn’t quite pay respect to our collective intelligence and capacity to love. In times of sheep and shepherds, the individual is the key to clarity. No one has to give you permission to be an individual. You are preordained and blessed to have the ability to look deep within yourself to discover how you truly feel. You always have the option to do your own research and you should always take advantage of that option even if you feel you are not an expert on any given subject. Your faculties for learning never cease if you never cease to use them…so use them. This concludes your reminder. Enjoy your beautiful life when you can and you can whenever you choose you can.
Though I feel so human at times, it feels as though there is a fundamental part of being human missing from me. This is where my music begins to become louder in my mind than any other internal thought sensory. I turn to be human towards another, yet at a loss. Then music may come. Or my love burns through velvet blankets and I crave through notes. Such fires and fires put out are equal. Their smoke is the mystery that fills the back rooms with lavender and long trails of endless thought.

"Came To Float" from my album "My Velvet Love"
Music can change someone’s whole life. One song can make a bad day a good day or something that’s misunderstood, understood. It can teach you how to live. It can show you how to love. It can spread peace and connect people from distant lands. It is a force of empathy that transcends propaganda and the prostitution of the populous. It can brings all classes together to show class separation is an illusion. All of this, music is and can do when created for such reasons.
love your music!
Thank you so fucking much !!!
In my home in Broward County, Florida getting ready for Hurricane Irma to hit. Just brought all of my lawn furniture inside and now it’s time to chill, smoke a little and try to prepare my mind for what’s coming….
Much love to everyone with me in Florida right now and everyone else around the world experiencing these weather catastrophes first hand.
And I also have to mention this: thank you so much tumblr because I just started getting my iTunes payments for my album sales this morning and I’m currently using that money to stock up on as much food for myself and my pets as possible and it couldn’t have been better timing. As a starving artist, I was not prepared for this hurricane. Almost all those album sales were from people here on Tumblr. You guys are literally saving my life.
Pre-recording vibes🔮
