I’m on the last few chapters of this book..

Common has always been my favorite artist, I never realized why I loved him so much until I took a stroll into his life. I almost feel like I personally know him. In a way he reminds me of my little sister and the things she has faced through her young life, between her playing basketball and being a 4.0 student and dealing with our dad. These are all things common faced. It’s weird that the more I read it the more it reminds me of her. I admire her more than she knows. She is 17 years old and she is the smartest most hungriest person I know. I don’t say this because she is my sister either. I try to see her as me when I was 17 & even tho I was pretty smart I could not compare the incredible amount of drive she has.  This goes back to the book. Common is true to himself. No matter what life has took him through he stays true. He respects woman. He has values, he has a big heart and he knows the word. A man like that now a days is sadly hard to come across. Let me take that back not only a man but a woman, people all over. People everywhere lack heart, respect and drive. Stop giving up. Stop letting time pass you by stop being fooled by material things, do something great. Travel, grow, get to know yourself. I won’t talk about me so much but we all have to go through something to grow. This life has just stared. Stop making excuses for yourself, My mom always says “if my 18 year old daughter had 2 jobs and went to school right when she graduated anyone could do it” when she tells me this it makes me hungrier, like a drug addict with no drugs. I get itchy it runs through my blood and I want more. I want o travel, grow, and get to know me and my purpose. They say certain people are put on his earth to do for others and to inspire. I believe that’s me, My sister, Tima , and all the people on their grind that don’t mind wearing rags as long as they continue to grow.
