It All Catches Up...

So I'm hearing rumors that my guy Kid Cudi is thinking about quitting the industry. That's crazy shit! Here is a very talented artist that is obviously on the verge of some huge shit, and he up and says that after he drops his solo album this summer...he's done. What the hell is happeneing in this industry that a shining star drops it all and returns to their normal life?



It reminds me of that ish with Dave Chappelle a couple years ago. He turned down $50 million and a #1 just to have piece in his life. He traveled to Africa to clear his mind and rid himself of the stress he was feeling. But in all the confusion created by it, everybody thought he was smoking crack and going crazy! The man can't clear his mind? Apparently not What's going on?

A lot of artists, actors, and athletes claim that the pressure to perform is incredibly overwhelming. I believe it. As a future celebrity I have to wonder, "Is this the type of shit that I'm gonna have to deal with?" Just maybe...but the difference is, I have somethings and someones to learn from.

It all catches up...

And In The End...

What is the feeling of adversity? Is it the feeling of many obstacles in the way of your glory? Or is it the sound of a scream created in desperation as you strive towards a goal? Or maybe it's the tears of the less fortunate clinging to their cheeks as a constant reminder of struggle.

No. Adversity is a series of tests and trials set in your way for you to fight through. People believe that in your ultimate quest for destiny or whatever it is you're trying to obtain, it is adversity that was your guide, not your hinderance. It was adversity that taught you to stand on your own two feet. It was adversity that taught you to bear down and ignore the pain. Adversity was the one that gave you strength; the one that provided you a greater will.

Maybe the feeling of adversity is the sweat trickling down your forehead as you strive harder towards the future.

Or maybe it's not...who knows?
