Life is a never ending uphill battle.
I feel as though there is no grand purpose for us being here. I think if there is a god, they didn’t put us here for a specific reason. We exist, and we just have to keep going regardless of this weird existence. I don’t think people realize how hard that is. You don’t think about how tedious it is to be alive because you’re constantly in motion. Constantly going to school or work. You never really get the chance to stop and think about the miracle it is you’re still standing. You don’t think about the feat it is to even get out of bed in the morning because you do it so often. It’s impossibly easy to give up. I could easily close my laptop and never finish this poem. But that’s the joy in life I think. Perseverance is so beautiful and makes life worth living. The feeling of yearning so badly for things to get better, fighting through a seemingly one sided war with yourself and the world around you. It makes the wins so much more gratifying.
It’s ridiculous to want to be constantly at peace with yourself, that isn’t really a life worth living to me. The turmoil you have to go through makes everything so much more gorgeous. The constant ups and downs of life makes it worth something. It like looking back on my life 5 years ago because I can see the growth. I used to think I wasn’t going to make it through that time of my life. But going through that made me so grateful for what I have now. I am beyond lucky to live the life I do. I’m privileged. I wouldn’t have felt this way if I didn’t have to fight against the odds to be here now. If i didn’t gave to persevere. To be able to look in the mirror now and say, despite everything it’s still me.

And now next up, we have our wayvywork of the week which is a part 2 of our work from last week. Had I given it more thought before I would have posted this one first so it would show up properly in the site but say wa. PERSEVERANCE II is the second part of my first diptych, depicting a giant black man squaring up against a two headed, fire breathing dragon. Cus to me, that’s what life is like. This shit is hard but GADDAMN that shit look fire. I think it really reflects the sentiments from luc’s poem in that there is only beauty in the struggle. Rich people want to seem broke because they want to appear to have the grit and tenacity that can ONLY be provided through perseverance. Broke niggas wanna appear rich because they want the accolades, wealth and respect that can ONLY be earned through perseverance. Life is funny that way, which is why I felt the need to make this a two parter. There is pain, there is beauty. There is struggle, there is strength. My mother used to tell me we came here in twos and we will leave the same way. So much of life is a dichotomy, but we’re so focused on the one side we can’t see the other. Just take a deep breath and know that this too shall pass. And when it does everything will be so different you can’t even imagine. And as always…
stay wayvy baby <3
