Sometimes, I feel like I’m juggling way too much. It’s something I’ve said before but I feel it more than ever now. Between music, art, the people around me, and so much more, there’s a ton on my plate. I’m doing my best to balance it all. While I’m balancing, I also feel like I can fall off any moment. Like, if I don’t balance it all, I might collapse. It’s a real feeling…and the reason I titled this month’s Opinions Column “Balance Beam.”
What up world? What is popping???? Welcome one and all to the kinda-sorta-late Opinions Column lol. I won’t even front, I’m mad late with this and I don’t have excuses. I can tell you WHY I’m late, but again…they’ll just come off as excuses and I don’t wanna get into that. I will accept it lol. So yes, for those that’re new to the site, this is the spot where I talk about what’s on my mind. For those that’re returning, welcome back! And with the intro now a thing of the past, let’s talk about the balancing act that is life.
So lately, I’ve been feeling the urge to take on more and prioritize. Like for instance, I got back to writing rhymes this week after a somewhat lengthy hiatus. It’s not that I stopped writing…I just had other, more-pressing things to do. So while I’m doing the music, I’m being pulled in another direction by…responsibilities. Ah yes, the dreaded R word. It’s a parta life we all have to deal with. So I’m over here balancing it all…and it’s a lot. And with an impending wedding on the horizon, there’s a deadline to get a lot of the work done. That adds to the pressure.
So with alllllll that, I feel like I can just fall down at any moment. Like I won’t be able to balance myself (or my tasks), and I’ll just fall off the balance beam. Now, it’s not good to think like that, but it’s easy to think like that. I look at this mountain of stuff to do and I’m like damn son. And then I have my video game system that I hardly touch cuz of all the work lol. First world problems, right? Haha. But nah, I just feel like I can’t focus on what I love (like music, for instance) because I have so much going on. And with everything pulling me in every direction, I’m overwhelmed…
And this seems to be a constant theme in my life. I gotta do better.
Well, the good news is that I do see the finish line and soon I’ll be able to return to normal again. And, I’ll be able to give you new music too.
It’s a challenging task to balance it all without falling off…I suppose that’s part of life. If any of you are in a similar situation (and I’m confident there are many), I commend you. It’s not easy but you’re maintaining. Here’s to keepin on.
And with that said, I’ma be out. I’d love to talk to you more about all the stuff going on (like recent movies I watched, albums I heard, and even the NBA), but I got responsibilities! Oh no, the R word again haha. But yes, I gotta get back to work. Until next time then folks, stay up, stay safe, and hold ya head…Ajaxxx signin out, PEACEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
