The Muse : Wati Heru

This generation never ceases to surprise me. With artists like Based God, Drake and Future on the scene I thought we reached the end of the era of good rap music, and then my cousin released this video. Yes my cousin. I cant remember the last time I felt the need to brag or promote my family and their accomplishments. Wati Heru is the latest rapper on the scene that has yet to be discovered. With a lyrical word play like no other and a sound that's reminiscent of Mos Def and Talib Kweli his words resonates in your soul.

Grounded

   I feel like i'm grounded.  I'm trying to find the balance between being realistic but not selling myself short. I know how determined and capable I am of success. But am I prepared and ready for it? Right now I feel as though I 've been exploring in Art. Dabbling here and there. Now I'm trying to create my style and bring that to my line. Not fall into a endless cycle of trends. Create something timeless but staying true to me. I'm surrounded By inspiration. So I started caring my journal around so when I get ideas I stick to it. My friend Steven said I like your drawings but I wanna see you.That got me thinking about  personalizing things more. Getting into patterns and architecture. Taking my time on my designs. Quantity over Quality. Steven is my new art teacher. Were going to explore painting and color theory's and other tings. In exchange I'll offer him my artistic eye ideas on concepts for projects etc. Lmao. Guess we both benefit from this relationship.. But yeah I'm working on personalizing my designs/Art.

Cha-Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes

  After recently moving out of my mothers house, I wondered where my life would be headed. For some reason everyone else around me was congratulatory but worried. Where would I go? What would I do? To my surprise, I was shockingly cavalier, as they say. One of my best friends asked me a few hours after why I was so calm about the whole situation. Well, for one its an understatement to say that I was overjoyed. As soon as I walked out I felt like the chains that bonded me to that house had finally been released. As for finding a place to live I had faith that everything would work out for the better. And it did. I survived the summer, although having to move a miles away from my best friends.

And then some more bad news......

 Unfortunately the move wasn't the only major change in my life. Changing locations meant changing schools. Now this was exceptionally hard for me to cope with because I'm somewhat what they call a "social outcast" or "wall flower". I know its hard to believe, but unless I feel really comfortable with someone, I'm just gonna be the awkward black girl in the corner. But to my surprise my new school is filled with welcoming people and my new guidance counselor  insists on helping me 24/7. It is rough changing schools and leaving friends behind, especially in the 12 grade, but I'm a survivor. Lol Destineys child.

What hurt me the most was that i had to start fresh, I wasn't really worried about leaving my friends, yeah I miss them but I'm not going to lose any of them, hopefully. One of my friends actually told me that she wasn't worried either, because she knew that our friendship was one of those that wouldn't fade, or some shit like that. But it was really sweet and what I needed to hear.

So far its been an adventure.Imma Keep on keepin' on.
