Listen Up!....

Dear Independent Media,

(So I initially typed this out the first time and tried to post, and it went byebye, so I had to convince myself to re-type it! that means I truly love you guys, because the original post was LONG!smh)

Anyways, I woke up this morning with a sense of urgency to post this blog, and after much toiling back and forth as to whether or not to post it, I said f*** it! I'm grown and I can post whatever I so choose. And if you don't like it, find the delete button, lmbo! With that being said. I don't know what's been put out in the atmosphere lately but there has been a heaviness upon my spirit. And I've been feeling the blues as of late. I know that within the past year all of us (including those individuals reading), have faced some frustrating situations, issues, hardships, that have brought us to our knees, tears (men included), saying things we don't mean, giving up on dreams and hopes, gave us the blues, etc....but the truth is I need for all of us, myself included to put on our "Thick Face, Black Heart's" (if you don't know what this means then look it up).

I need for us to be strong and perservere....because we weren't created to dwell in our dark moments. I'm learning the best way to appraoch life is to come with the knowledge and understanding that yes bad things may happen, embrace it. Learn to work through it, and find the joy and overcoming it. I of all people needs to let that marinate! I believe so strongly in you guys that I'm willing to risk it all to see you succeed. And you ask "why?"...well it's simple because Nothing happens by happenstance in my eyes. Look back and recall on how each of you all met, RANDOM! Yes, even how I waltzed in the picture, super random, but the reality is I'm here to help you guys live to your fullest potential. I have heard so many people say, whether music industry related or not, that you guys have something unique and special, and I'm not saying that for shits and giggles!

I'm giving you guys time and space to figure it out what it is you guys want. You have desitines and how I look at it, the divine creator is not done with anyone yet, if we wake up each morning, there is something waiting yet to be done or fulfilled. So I'm making it known that I'm not going anywhere...so get used to my rants, my tantrums, my frustration, my drive, my pushing you guys til you think you can't be pushed anymore, my tenacity, my persistance, my pressure til you crack so I think can help piece you back together again, and my cussing you out at 4 am for whooping my ass in Scrabble (pure conspiracy! DO-OVER! now, as I squnit my eyes and roll them, hard!)

as I close, this we were all born with the ability to vision, and I believe that God has the ability to allow that vision to unfold...you just got to keep dreaming beyond your here an now. beyond Toledo, beyond your circumstance or situation. problems are always going to be apart of the equation, the question is what do you intend to do to work past what is meant to help build your character, your strength, your wisdom, and your growth...choose to live vs. die (and I don't mean literally).
anything worth having in life, doesn't just come, it takes hard work. I'm proud of you all...

you can have fun working and doing what it is you love to do-Music

with a high five and a hug,

your advisor, manager, friend, homie, niggey, pucnh bag (NOT!), whatever you need me to be...im there :)

peace and poetry,

Miz Naki
