I'd been feeling pretty down over the past few months, nothing serious, but definitely a noticeable difference from my usual upbeat, and determined persona.
The only culprit was my acute lack of self regard, more specifically my poor eating habits, frequent nights of sleep deprivation, and extraneous work habits. I'd successfully transformed myself from a chipper, ambitious go-getter into a hollowed out, heartless robot slaving to endless emails and transient projects, all of which at the expense of my individual identity.

RT » link to SKIDDY STOP: Kanye West "Welcome to Heartbreak" Video" A video blog followed by a phone call from my best friend wishing to discuss the post.
Although the produced video didn't change my life, it certainly came as a catalyst for change, encouraging me to revisit T.I.'s Paper Trail and Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreak. Both albums advocate a lifestyle of persistence, determination, discipline, and accomplishment. However it's not without sacrifice that dreams become realities, and so under the lyrical guidance of countless men and women who've made the journey before me, I take inventory of my supplies and prepare myself for the challenge ahead.
