Monday the 22nd of July 2024 and the title of this reflection is going to be I ask myself. Now I ask myself is actually the title of a song that I'm yet to release. It's a song that as far as I'm aware is about four years old purely because I've taken my time to kind of like release this
song and when I say I've taken my time I've procrastinated and things have come up and you know I haven't actually been able to come around to the whole process
of releasing this song but the reason why like this happens to be the title of this reflection is because the whole I mean there are a lot of messages within the song I asked myself but one of the main messages or one of the main themes of you know kind of like I asked myself is effectively like you know not allowing life and when I say life I'm referring to the life that we as human beings have created for ourselves. It's about not allowing life to get one up over you the second time around. Now getting one up over you I believe is more
of a British form of expression to effectively kind of like you know explain, it effectively means like you know allowing you know not allowing people, getting one up over you basically means like you know somebody's in no other polite way of saying it, somebody's screwed you over and effectively the thing about life and the thing about kinda like getting screwed over is that when you kinda like develop yourself or choose to develop yourself
in a very pure and in a very humble way, in a very kind way also I feel like you know kind especially like you know you open yourself up to opportunities from people anyway. You open yourself up to the risk of getting screwed over. People taking your kindness for weakness. But I don't understand why that expression is worded with such verbiage because kindness is weakness. Kindness is allowing somebody effectively to benefit from your kindness. There is no such thing as you
know you know taking your kindness for weakness because kindness is weakness like you know you open yourself up to these people and you allow them to effectively benefit from that which you have to offer so the reason why I'm kind of like you know reflecting on you know asking myself or I ask myself is because like you know the situations that I'm kind of going through especially now is you know kind of like putting me in a position where I'm having to reflect and come back to the thing that
I had promised myself in the song. I promised myself, in this song I promised myself that the next time somebody is going to try to get one up over me, I will respond to them in kind. I will respond to them with an action that they could have never foreseen from somebody is so kind and so loving and so gentle, as gentle as myself. And it's interesting, I enjoy and I'm actually quite grateful that I'm able to reference that song in such a way because it allows me to continuously talk about my music and
it's the whole point of effectively putting music out. It's not just about releasing songs and just basically forgetting about them like no like you know we you know you I put a lot of work into this I express myself a lot either there are a lot of things that I say in my music and I would like to be able to talk about it because it is a natural form of marketing like you know putting these reflections out it's a natural form of marketing and yeah but apart from that
I'm gonna move on I'm gonna move on to whatever it is that I've got to do today. But yeah, I'm definitely dealing with a situation where my kindness is being used against me. And I'm not having to think about ways of navigating through the situation without creating too much of a storm.
