Growing up, I was the kid that always got the prophetic word. Like dang... Can I just be on the organ/keyboard and enjoy watching people scream and fall out?! Noooo, not me. I just know I've gotten about a million words about my music, my calling in life, and even words about me being born. This was no easy childhood life to live. I felt like I had to live up to a certain expectation. Not that anyone put them on me, it was just the fact of always being singled out in my family. From being called "the chosen one" and "superstar" so much, I felt like I had to deliver. That my friends... caused a lot of thought patterns that I was unaware of until I was put in a position to live on my own and make decisions for myself like I really wanted to. When this started happening, I was 22 years old. So what was my childhood like? All I can share with you is what I remember. It was sort of all a flash, but there were some very significant moments that I just can't forget.

Whatchu talkin’bout Willis? You ever just think about your life and wonder where you went wrong? If so, CONGRATULATIONS, you’re considered a human being!! No! In all seriousness, even though it doesn’t seem like it, it is a very healthy thing to do!! It’s a great way to go back to your childhood and see where some beliefs and behaviors came from. It can also reveal some traumatizing moments that you never realized affect the way you handle certain situations. Interesting right!? But hey! You’re smart… so you know these things. Well if you know it, why not do it? GOT’EM !!

Dude... Just Keep Pouring
I absolutely HATE when my lips are super dry. You know the type of dry lips shrinks up the skin and leaves you with crusty and ashy lips? Yeah, I hate it so much. So... I’ve discovered (in my opinion) probably one of the best type of chapstick, and that chapstick is "Burt's Bees'. OMG! It works so well and it makes my lips look so hydrated and healthy. Now you may be thinking to yourself "Anthony, why on heaven's earth are you talking about your ashy lips?" If you're thinking that, I don't blame you one bit because honestly, I'd be thinking the same exact thing. Trust me, it'll all make sense as you keep reading. Let's keep going!

Healthy and Tender
We never like to admit it, but there IS a part of us that actually care about what people think of us. If you're having trouble admitting that reality, let me tell you that it's normal and it's very understandable. All of us want to be known for something positive and not something disgusting. Yeah I know, disgusting is a strong word, but I can only speak from my own experiences. I've felt like others had built this whole character in their heads about me, for whatever reason. And because of that, it made me in a lot of ways resent those people. The crazy thing is that I never knew if those thoughts were actually true. So what if I was forming a story in my mind that was just my own assumptions? What if I was the reason I've always felt alone? What if I'm the reason why I can't trust nobody I surround myself with? What if I'm the reason I've built this hate for my life? These are questions that constantly ran through my mind. Then I think... What if I'm right? What if my gut is telling the truth? You know what they say, right? "Go with your gut feeling!" So let's say these things are true. Let's say they have built this idea of who you are, and even though it's not displayed publicly, it's definitely obvious. You then have a choice to make. Choice number one is that you can react, blow everything up in their face, prove you're not an idiot, and leave. Then there's choice number two. You can pray about it. Pray that your heart won't be harden and that you won't grow bitter, and pray that your heart will remain tender.

Love Again! Trust Again!
A smile doesn't always mean things are good. It's never a good thing to assume. It is always good to build trust with people, that's the only way they will feel comfortable talking to you. It's not enough to just build trust, that connection you're trying to have with someone HAS to be genuine and not used to control them. TRUST ME, sooner or later, they will catch on to it and it'll never be the same with you again, and while you try to blame them saying that they've changed and are acting different, look at the real reason behind the behavior. You've lost a person that trusted you with everything. Sure, you can apologize and they can forgive you, but you can't expect things to be the same after that. Never hide things from them, if you can't say something to their face, it's probably best that you don't say anything at all.

LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!
"What should I wear so that they will accept me?" "How should I wear my hair? I'm sure they'll want me now." "Maybe this post will make me look like I'm doing better." The truth is... We've all been through this at some point of our lives. Whether it's now or in the past, we've all wanted to be accepted, liked by someone we like, or just simply loved by those around us. For me, it was "maybe if I never make a mistake playing music, I'll be accepted and people will always want me to be a part of they're project." Although in most cases that is a true statement (because who wants someone that messes up all the time), if we're not careful, that ambition that was once so unsophisticated and sinless turns everything sour. Your demeanor turns sour, your smile is sour, your words are sour, and your presence in a room is sour. So even though you look good on the outside and sound good, what do you think you're releasing in a room? Here's a better question for you... What happens when the lights are turned off, the cameras are turned off, and there's no need to deliver?

Just Do You Boo
How much time do you spend on your phone? On Instagram or on Facebook? On Snapchat or on Youtube? I know I can spend hours on these apps. I sometime ask myself what could I be doing that would help me in future. I even sometimes wonder where I would be in life if I use the time I spend on my phone towards building a legacy. Don't get me wrong, I love myself some Instagram and Youtube, but as a person that has huge dreams, I found that spending too much time on these things can lead us to a road that we never intend to go down. That what seems to be long and dark road is a road call comparison.
