Kendrick Lamar may have made a great song out of sampling this, (which has resonated with me since I've discovered Kendrick) but it might never compare to the original song. Edit: A week or so ago, I was sitting on the old swing set that I had gotten at the age of 9 (12 when this happened) I was right where a cloud blocked the sun. About halfway through my yard, on the other side it was light. It was dark on my side, and then it switched. It made me feel something I haven't felt. Or at least made me think of things I haven't thought about in years. Edit 2: This song hits me with a mood often bringing me into a place that I feel I can be myself. What I will say, is that this space brought 4 years into one space. At 12 now, I'm changing as a person. Finding me. Feeling things that I'm told are invalid for my age. Told to live my childhood. I am, in the way that I'm living the best I can. Sometimes I wonder if thinking like this at 12 is unnecessary, is it? I won't ever know. What I do know is that I'm still becoming me. This might be my longest comment on KZfaq, or longest digitally typed thing in general. But one thing I want to say, is please. Don't limit yourself, be yourself, and see yourself. Some people are blind to themselves. Edit 3: sometimes I don't feel human. It's weird, I've forgotten who I am, and yet I found myself. I've noticed that for two years I masked. Sometimes I forget I'm 12. In 7th grade. I'm the only one like this it feels, and seems. But what is seen is not always true. So I'll never really know. But I guess I can just keep living right? Yeah. Edit 4: its 9:25. Mcas is tommorow, amd then a girl ks coming over mine. Im turning 13 in 4 months. I feel agless. 10 years felt like enough. For some reason, life feels like a droning limbo like existance, feeling like I lived to 100. But, this is just what extreme nostaglia. I lost a part of myself when i was 10. My parents had divorced, breaking reality for me. I mean, the structure of my universe built by two toghtether parents was broken. And so was I. For years. 2 right now, having to figure myself out in the midst of two split parents and homes divided by A.D.H.D? Life is getting better. I see a light. But as i continue to write this, i slowly stop caring. Until its just why me? Anways. I must sign off. Amen to your souls brothers and sisters, under one united God. 🙏❤️
