Alright, Thursday the 3rd of December 2024 and the title of today's reflection is going to be exhaustion. I don't even know if that's a word and I don't even know if I actually if I've ever had a title like that before in my reflection series but anyway like you know ah man like I had
an idea of what it was that I was going to talk about but it as though it's narrowingly escaping my mind. I've reflected on this long enough, that this whole idea of, I don't know, I mean, success, wealth, prosperity, these are the words that I'm loosely throwing at it until I can get a greater sense of what it is that I'm talking about. But it's kind of like,
what's funny is that my journey as a rap artist, somebody who effectively wants to become renowned, wants to become famous, wants to become wealthy, like again, who doesn't at the end of the day? Like as somebody who wants to do that and as somebody who wants to pursue that,
over time, my relationship with my goals has sort of matured in the sense of like, I've come to the realization that I'm not gonna be able to achieve this just by sitting down and remaining stagnant and remaining still. But again, like I feel like the whole thing
about exhaustion, right, and the whole reason why I've even called it exhaustion in the beginning is because a lot of great deal and effort kind of like goes behind telling the whole world that you're a great big deal, you know what I'm saying? And a lot of great deal and effort goes behind
telling yourself that as well. And that's the kind of like, not paradox, but it's almost like the mortality of the artist, so to speak. Without that fame, we're absolutely nothing and it kind of like makes us the most vulnerable kind of like people in this
entire freaking in every single work industry in every single work environment it makes us the most vulnerable people and the most emotionally explosive people which doesn't make you is not that great. It's just kind of like the need to be important and the need to be recognized makes us kind of like I guess vulnerable and we can be exploited in those kind of like situations for like, you know, in many different ways
and it's exhausting having to kind of like tell people like you know, you know how amazing that you are and stuff like that because if you, you know, you then have to be kind of like at the mercy's end of what they truly think about you and when that doesn't align with how you see yourself it could be very damaging and it could be very it could be very weakening for the ego so to speak. But you know I will talk about this more at length but I've kind of like run out of time so until next time.
