I'm alive, sistahs and bruthahs! School has just been killer and if you're in school right now you'll understand. With the school year's end getting nearer and nearer, we all need to be prepared and (being a student) I've been pushed to the breaking point. Thank God for music though! Its really kept me progressive! If I were to recomend a few bands I'd say "Imagine Dragons" and "Foster the People". Also, I'm learning how awesome Paloma Faith is. Check her out too. And, just saying, Spotify is a godsend. Just...go download it. Right now.
Recently, I heard this song by a band called AWOLNATION called "Kill your Heroes". As expected when I told my mom she was disgusted but she didn't hear what the song was about. She listened to my words but didn't really hear. Right now, go listen to the song. Don't worry, I can wait...................Alright, you're back. It really spoke to me when I heard it but I didn't understand it fully except for a single line or two. Now, a day later, I do understand. You don't physically kill your heroes. Kill your heroes in your mind and fight for your own fate. Fight for your dreams because you can't just follow someone else your whole life. Everybody must die is what the song says and transferring to you AND your heroes. Nobody really deserves to live on forever in our memory because they usually did something wrong or non-role model worthy (if you're gonna nitpick about Jesus, then I see where you have footing and he does deserve to be respected and remembered but you got my point). I think we were all put on this planet for a reason. Whether its to save the world or save one person we all have a purpose. But I also think our fate is not pre-determined. We are put on earth for a reason not yet known. Make your reason worth every breath you take and learn to take each breath with pride.
