allow me to reintroduce myself.

 From young, I have always had words for this world. Let me start that over...From young, I have always had words. Words were and will forever be, my thing. 

I've always loved to write. I've always loved to talk. Learn words from other languages. Learn intonations in my own language. Words were/are the one thing outside of music that make me feel safe. If you've seen Hamilton and you knew me a few years back; you would agree that I used to write like I was running out of time. The reason? When I have nothing left to give...All I have are words. 

So, I've always had something to say to this world. 

and if anyone felt a way about it...that's an issue they would have to take up with Customer Support..or the  Lord..or even worse - themselves.

People (myself, included.) hate looking at themselves, when there's an issue. 

and for that reason, I'm transparent as fuck. I'll put myself on front street before anyone else can. Why? Because I've done a lot of "looking at myself" so I know me, better than anyone else would. I stand in being flawed. 

Don't get it fucked up though. Just because I said I stand in being flawed doesn't mean I'm this woeful woman. I meant that, unlike a lot of people I am aware of my imperfections and I'm okay with them. Some of them can worked on. Some of them, can't.

 For example: I have books full poetry, all in hip hop cadence. My anxiety will not allow me to get on a stage or be put on the spot. Something that can be worked on. 

Another example: Because of health issues, I suffer from extreme fatigue. Sometimes, I'm too tired to do anything. Too tired to go anywhere. Something, that cannot be worked on.

That kind transparency and self-awareness rubs some folks the wrong way. I'm okay with that, too. Everybody ain't for everybody.
