There’s a quote from Batman: The Dark Night Rises from a scene where the Joker asks Batman, “What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?”
I’ve been thinking about this a lot. When it has come to pursuing what I want to do artistically, as well as ways I wanted to grow as a person, I have found myself stuck in this paradox. Where my desires and my dreams meet my fears and inabilities. Both sides seem so strong. In a lot of ways, I feel like I’ve been dormant. Asleep. Running. From a lot of things I want to see happen in my life. But, somehow I found myself at an impasse. I felt so stuck… so far from where I wanted to be and so far from who I wanted to become.
But, then another truth emerged. One so “duh” that I feel like we overlook it most of the time - but the simple fact is, nothing changes until it changes. That’s it. You want to try to learn something? You want to get out of certain habits? You want to change? Yes… it’s all complex and and nuanced yes yes yes. But after a certain point, you just have to decide right? I’ve been putting off so much in my life. I want to be free. And I’m realizing that I can be free, I just have to choose to get out of where I’m in. To walk towards the light. I think I understand now more than ever what it meant when we’d say, “Let Go.” It’s starting to make more sense to me now.
Somethings is changing in the winds of my soul and my life. I feel alive for the first time in a long time.
In other news. I was at a brewery yesterday and this woman walks straight up to me, in the middle of this brewery and asked me to take a photo of her and her partner. Come to find out they are hip hop artists looking to work with someone in the city. A big part of my dream for Atlanta is to work in hip hop, and it literally came knocking on my door yesterday. Things are happening.
Also this week I met an artist that goes by Randissimo. This will be a very important person in my life.
