Yup, ah, ooo, that’s loud
Um, I really don’t know how many times I’ve recorded this at this point, but…I wrote this down originally but then it didn’t feel right, it felt weird so I figured I’d just speak
(music begins)
I’m pretty good at making things up on the spot, from time to time, and I know where I’ll end, and I know where I’ll begin, mostly because I already did, and I hope it makes sense in the middle
See when I was younger I…there were a lot of things I felt I had to be, a lot of things I felt I had to do. And I was really cognizant of the fact, perhaps subconsciously, that I was not able to do or be any of the things that I felt I had to. And that caused me to be so scared for everything
I was terrified of things that hadn’t happened, things that couldn’t happen, things that might happen, things that had already happened
There was just so much volatility in a human life and I didn’t know how to handle that, it terrified me. But I got older and I changed, I met some wonderful people, I encountered some unfortunate things and I grew to become who I am today
People would ask me what my favorite color is and now I’m at a point where I say my favorite color changes depending on where I am in life. It was red until I was six, and then it was black until I was 18, and then blue for about a year and change, and now I’m in a state of purple. And I will save you all the psychoanalysis of those colors, and the fact that black was twice as long, at least, as everything else and just focus on the fact that for a period of time I thought purple was my favorite color I thought, oh I am purple, that is it. But I’m hesitant to do that now because I feel as thought the enjoyable part of life is the possibilities
Interestingly enough I love vegetation for their lack of possibilities. I find a lot of beauty in the fact that a seed, is a seed, is a seed, and it’ll be a tree, or whatever is on the package that you bought that seed in. No matter what
So I took the deterministic aspect of a seed or a plant, and the color purple, which represents my change and my evolution, and the fact that I’m black and I said, I’m a Black Orchid
Beautiful, Worthy, and just a little bit delicate
But then again who isn’t?
