My
Biggest Distraction
Good evening, everyone, I
am excited to talk about my biggest distraction in this next blog post, and I hope
that you all find it interesting and also are shocked by it as well. Before I get
into this, what do you think my biggest distraction is going to be? I can let you
know up front that it does NOT pertain to basketball for once! How about we
just get into it?
So, my biggest
distraction is (drumroll please) …POETRY! Now I am really hoping for those of you
who don’t know me that this catches you all by surprise, which is my goal because
not many know about my true secret talent. To add on to that, I am also a song writer
(not a singer let’s not get it confused please), and I enjoy doing both frequently.
Somewhere in this blog I am going to place one of my poems in here, so that you
can give me an honest rating on it!
Why is this my biggest distraction
you may ask? Well, I am glad you asked, because growing up I started doing this
at a very young age, and I will credit my mom because she is the one who taught
me overall how to write properly, even though I learned mostly by myself (I have
to give her some credit because she thinks I disrespect her when I say that ha-ha)!
Also, poetry has always
helped me to take my mind off things, because I have talked about this in another
post before, but it helps me to relieve things out of my mind and gives me breath
of fresh air that I don’t always feel able to breathe freely. Often, I would
find myself slacking because sometimes I would get tired of having to come up with
new and different ideas daily, so I can say I was lacking motivation.
In the worst way
possible, I once again found motivation to want to continue being consistent with
my work again after the passing of my uncle. When I lost my uncle back in 2009,
I also lost a part of me, and it left a deep black hole that I felt I was falling
through. I wrote a poem for him before his funeral that I was going to share at
that time, but I always kept it to myself because it was sacred work to me in a
way. I realized that my poetry had an impact on others just as much or more than
it did for me, and I immediately knew that I needed to share with those who were
dealing with similar situations in life, to help them get through trials and
obstacles in their life.
To conclude, I have made
an impact on many others using my distraction, versus letting social media be
my distraction. If I was to go down that road and path, I don’t think I would
have molded into the character that I am today, that guy who is always there for
others to make sure that they are well and have no worries or regrets after
reading my message, which is deeper than life itself.
