Recall the past.

"Yeah sitting in the staircase holding back tears, Looking over mad years worth of photographs, Pictures of some places I ain't never going back, Some people I used to love why I ain't show em' that?" - Black Thought

When I reminisce I might hold back some tears too. Looking back at a painful past isn't easy. It brings back some memories that I really would like to forget. Running from the past isn't an option though. My past reminds me of where I'm from and what I've been through to get to where I am. Every change is worth a photograph...some I want to throw into a fire and never think of again. Others might just get their own spot on my wall one day.

Couple of years ago I'd say the place where I'm from is home. I'd also say that when I turn 18 its the place I'd run off to. I've grown here in Georgia though and learned some things on my owned. The place where I'm from is a city I'll stay repping and thinking about but isn't a place that I'd want to return to. Maybe its because I know things have changed since I've been away almost 10 years. Or maybe because it wasn't a happy place to be. Its not about where your from its about where you pay the rent. Home is where the heart is...Georgia stole my heart a long time ago.

Love is something everyone should show. I've shown it alot in the past...or atleast I thought I did. Looking back I see some people that I most definitely could of gave a "I love you" to. But I never did and now I'll never really be able to. Maybe because it wasn't really love, or because I just didn't know how to tell them. I loved them...why ain't I show them that?

My past shaped and molded me into the person I am today. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? What I've been through left some scars on me physically and emotionally. But I'm still alive and stronger than ever. I may not know exactly where I'm headed in life or what the future may hold for me, but knowing my past lets me know not to make the same mistakes others did. Reminisce for a spell.
