A Love for Poetry [7:45]

“The truth and the power behind your self expression is inspiring.”

“I had a lot of unresolved emotions that came out through rhyme and rhythm- free styling was the fastest way to connect to a moment.”

“The stories that we tell ourselves and the stories we tell others become our lives.”

“Expression becomes conditioned out of us- we have to unlearn the stories we were taught about play.”

“Creativity is like a faucet. Sometimes it barely drips, but we have to create space to reconnect with that part of us and let it pour out.”

The Relationship with Creativity [16:00]

“We stop doing things we’re not good at as we get older and focus on the same routine we’re good at. Creativity is that avenue to try new things-even if you’re not good at it- and express different parts of yourself.”

“I think the purpose of life is the expression of life because we’re all alive and we’re all miracles. We don’t have to do anything or be anything to have self worth.”

“Language is not truth- it’s a reflection of momentary truth at best.”

“The more we express ourselves the more that we can connect with others and the world.”

Celebrate Self Expression [25:00]

“Celebrate uniqueness, celebrate individuality.”

“It’s so much easier to hate than to create. Instead of tearing something down, go create something great.”

“Sometimes we make comments on content, and it’s a reflection of things that are going on within ourselves.”

“Don’t let the money aspect take the joy from your work.”

Keep the Joy alive![40:00]

“There’s the creation and the presentation.” 

“When I’m creating something, I create it for myself first.”

“If it’s true to you and lights you up, it will be true for others.”

“Create for yourself, release it for yourself, and let it go for other people to take and enjoy.”

Dive into Poetry[52:00]

“I have to be seen so I can see somebody.”

“We don’t need understanding, we need experience.”

“We crave certainty- we’re always looking for certainty but life in its truest form isn’t certain. We need to just be present and experience it.”
