What advice would you give to your teenage self?

You write it, you manifest it.

That is what I would tell my teenage self. I’m not sure if you would consider that advice but that is it. You write it, you manifest it.

My teenage self would probably look at me and say “tell me something I don’t know.” That is when I would probably say “Lemme tell you what happened…umm happens in your case.

Teen self would ask “if you really are me, what number am I thinkin about?”

#69 DUUUUUUDDEEE!

If you know what movie that comes from then damn you are from the same era I am from. Or you showed your children that movie too. Now that that joke is out of the way, let me explain my conversation with my younger self. I chose to come back and post to this daily prompt that wasn’t available any more just because I had a chance to read a few and was like “wow” there are quite a few people who would really want to change their life. Not me though, from the stabbing to my neck and the jail time I did. From the deferred probation to a toxic relationship that birth my baby girl, I would not change a thing.

From being young and reckless, to getting stabbed, getting stoned and writing poetry to publishing magazines and creating art in many different forms and levels, I have no regrets. All the sexual experiences, relationships and special moments

I live with no regrets.

What would happen if your younger self followed your advice?

I live nowhere near perfect. When I was a eighteen I read a book about myself from the day I was born and all that. This was before it was everywhere on the internet. As I pinpoint my exact date of birth and everything about my sign for that date, the damn thing basically said my reach is from Heaven to Hell. I live life that way, and indeed I do.

In this phase of my life I am proud of all the experiences I had in my life. None of them killed me and all of them made me stronger. Well, I have been told that I died and came back when I was sixteen and got stabbed four times. But I wouldn’t take that moment away from my life.

I found out in my early twenties that I had a son that I created at age eighteen. By this time, the person who told me didn’t know where to find the girl who was the mother of my son I didn’t know I had. Neither did I. It had to be about 3 years later and I had no clue that the lady had gotten impregnated my me. But when I thought about it, it all made sense and there was no way I could find him.

When I was up, they all followed…when I was down….

They all backstabbed me. I felt like Tupac. I came out of jail starting over again with nothing. I kept telling myself that the teenager me accomplished so many things without problems and now I have to start over with nothing. It felt like a major setback at the time and I was only starting my twenties. At that time I would have really wanted to talk to my teenage self and tell myself to watch out for them backstabbing haters and watch out what I write down because IT BECOMES TRUE! Don’t create tension just to write a good story. So what would happen if your younger self took your advice? I don’t know, I cannot speak for anyone else, but as for me I would not want to change anything in my life, because without the “so called” bad moments, I might not have the great moments and wonderful family as I do now.

I am living my teenage life still, so what advice could I give myself?

All that I have in life now I had manifested in my teen years. I am still doing everything that I wrote I was going to do at that time. I wrote my poetry book and published it at age 18, which I used later to write lyrics for songs. I read some of those poems that helped my in many different times in my adult life. So if anything, my teen self has given my adult self some great advice. I would probably tell my teen self that I have a beautiful daughter, which I would be thrilled to hear because I lost two babies due to abortions out of my control when I was sixteen. Yup, I started early just like my daughter did. My seed didn’t get to see life though, and I am so happy that my daughter’s daughter was born healthy and beautiful.

But I truly feel that if I told myself not to write anything in particular or not to do something that will feel like the biggest defeat in my life, I would not have been set on the course to be a proud single father of my beautiful daughter. Every moment and every thought has led me to the life I have now, and I love my life.

I wouldn’t even change the moments that I was depressed when my daughter was pregnant. Because in those moments I wrote down my future in a much more pleasant scenario, with much wealth and abundance in love, life and everything else. So I don’t worry about the future. Or the past or the present for that matter. I understand now that every moment is special, even when I am frustrated or angry for a moment. It is just a moment that will soon pass.

You write it, you manifest it.

Not only am I telling you my G-Rated friends and Inspired Creative Thinkers, that this is what I would tell my teen self. I am telling you this is what I tell myself now. And I am also giving you all the same secret codes that I live by. I write it, I manifest it. I feel it and watch it come true so so so many times. If you go to the beginning of my blogs on my Airbrushes to Airplanes blog page, you will see that I have been writing down many key words that help manifest that life that I truly desire. If you decide that you are going to get paid for blogging and you write it down that you will get paid, then you will eventually get paid. How soon do you want to get paid? You might want to write that down. How often? How many ways do you want to get paid? Write it down. The more descriptive you can be about what you desire, the more you bring it to reality just like you pictured it.

Write it down with as much passion of all the wonderful things that you desire and how grateful you are to receive it, and watch it manifest. Believe though, and give it that same energy at least, as you do for the stories you tell of your misery, pain, hurt and hardships that you write about. Because if you live with that “poor poor me and all the bad things that…” then that is what you are focusing on and bringing more of into your life. You manifest the good and the bad that keeps coming into your life.

Light It Up! Lemme tell you what happened…umm happens

So I have decided that my art pieces that I am creating this year will be sold for no less than 10K. And I am creating a set of Living Legends and Legends Never Die series that will total about 30 or some major pieces that I value at 10K or more. After that first sell, the rest of them will be easy. But I cannot sit here contemplating on why and how and who. If I worry about those things before its time, I will not create the art. I will convince myself that it is not a good idea. WOW! Now imagine if a quarter of those canvases get sold this year in one of our art shows that we have planned this year. Those who like to do math, yea it is that good.

So I end my post repeating myself once more, you write it, you manifest it. Nothing I would advise myself because I wouldn’t want to change a thing.
