WE ARE HERE
We are here, we are here together, we are here alone. We are both stuck in the zone to where we both have to brainstorm on what’s next. Well now it’s time for us to make a change. We are here to convert our problems to success. Let’s see how that’s going to happen.
Everyday we wake up, we go to work, then we jump straight to the computer. Our thoughts are being controlled by a virtual industry, which slows us down from focusing on reality but at the same time, we’re virtually happy to attend as much as we can. Some of us come here to have fun and play the game, some of us don’t know what reality is like. As we’re roleplaying, we realize that there are many types of industries. You have the music artistry, the model agencies, the bloggers, the universities, the trollers, and the drama industry but the only situation is, we choose to fit in with one of the categories because it’s trending. God wants us to be ourselves. Why join an industry that’s already created where artists are going to laugh, make fun of you, and treat you like dust? That’s not good for our souls nor vibrations. We have to do what’s best for us.
Let’s place ourselves in a position where we’re not part of any industry. Imagine us being unknown and vacant. Would artists still take the time to look at you? Will they think about you? Will they give you a chance to be great? No, we won’t be treated equally. And then we become sorrow after the fact we’re noobs and haven’t made any progress.
We spend time investing in our avatars to give ourselves an image, a certain look. I guess we want people to look at us. But when it comes to being seen, we have to create ourselves. We have to give the community what they would like to see. We can’t show art that’s already been created. When we do, we get pushed away or ignored. How are we going to become different from everyone else? Well maybe we have to just sit down and think it over. Maybe we have to slow down from some of the things we do. We’ve surrounded ourselves by a group of hardworking people and who doesn’t care about beginners so therefore, we have to exclude ourselves from those people. Those people only know what they know and there you have “me”, Mr. Taylor Johnson. The guy who knows a little bit about everything.
Once upon of time, I was introduced to social media. Where people chat with others across the world and show off all their talents for exposure. See I was the kid who had it’s own spotlight. What did it take for me to reach the level i’m at now?
Being the noob I was, I was friendless, no one taught me anything so I didn’t have no one to look up too. All I had was my camera, and my knowledge. I took my camera everywhere I go. To the library, to the park, to the mall, even to the museum. Do I like to film? Not really, it’s okay I guess, but it’s best for me to capture my life for the world to recognize who I am without recognition. When I got home from a long day at work, I automatically opened my laptop. Remember, no one taught me anything. But something sparked in my head where I should start creating my life. So as i’m using my editing tool, i’m just sitting here doodling, having fun like usual. Then once I realized what I was doing is starting to come to effect, I decided to upload my first post to social media. Did I upload for exposure, likes, comments, reposts? No, I uploaded my post for feedback, I did it for myself. Any feedback is good feedback to me. Once the post was uploaded, other people were becoming present.
Being virtually friendless, was a real life struggle. This 3D life is full of industry. People attend to be in your life when they see you create. If you don’t create, you’re vacant to them. I realize a lot of us wants to be famous through virtuality. Everyday we launch social media, and become inspired by the activities we see. The difference between me and you, i’m inspired by the things I don’t see. When I see a kid getting beat up, I become inspired by the fact he or she stood right back up. When I see a bum on the street, I become inspired at the fact that he or she is still living. When I see a noob giving their self a chance to try creating art, I become inspired by the fact he or she is not giving up. I don’t become inspired by social media. Social media did not create me, I created myself. So therefore, social media will not make you a better you, you have to become better yourself. Just because you’re not getting the recognition you want, doesn’t mean no one’s watching you. You’re talented, smart, humble, and intelligent. You’re just undiscovered.
Be you
Be safe
Be strong
Be great . . .
