Wise Men Say

You'll never figure out real love. It's almost unbearable sometimes when I have to keep separating myself from all these wonderful people that have helped shape who I am during my collegiate matriculation. Mmmm. Even that word still stings a little bit to say. Hampton University Graduates understand what I mean. It hurts that they aren't going to be with me anymore. Each moment I share with one of them feels like a little slice of home that I try to savor just a moment longer but it dissolves just as quickly as I begin tasting its sweetness. I don't necessarily know where this life is taking me. Maybe to research in East Africa. Maybe to the moon. All I know is there is so much that I always feel I'm leaving behind. A good friend of mine told me once that I should follow my ambitions because life keeps right on moving regardless of whether I get onboard or I throw a temper tantrum in its marble floor lobby. In this my postgraduate life I have to take challenges head on and I know my path is somewhat unclear but I have to carry on without those I love because the things that they have taught I know will resonate. In the proud way I hold my head high when I feel down. In the exhibition and application of all that I have learned. I must to dry my tears and put on the face of what everyone seems bent on calling "manhood": hiding my tears so that the world can't see, that I'm scared. d-_-b (Listening to Kanye West's "Pinocchio Story"). There is a lot truth held in the man that can admit he's human and has doubts, fears, and can still find courage through that. That's the kind of man I am striving to be in this transitional period of life. Who's that guy in the Bible who said something like that? Eli? Here I am Lord. Let's get started.
