I regret my lack of options. I regret being painted into a corner and having that be the only instrument to get me from point A to point B.

All you can do is handle it, worst thing you can do is panic. Use it to your advantage, avoid insanity, manage to conquer ever obstacle, make impossible possible. Even when winning's illogical, losing is still far from optional.

If you are a true fan, you're a fan for one of two reasons. You either support what I do or you support me as a person. If you support what I do, the quality of work speaks for itself. If you support me as a person, my personal and political views won't alienate you. If you find a way to be turned off, that means you were never a fan in the first place. You were just riding the wave.

All the hatin just fuels to my fire.

I'm by no means a perfect human being. I experience more than half of my life perpetuating darkness. That was because I was dropped in a place of darkness and expected to find a way out.

We can't fix what we do not address.

I don't think there's anything wrong with sitting down with people as long as you understand that there are needs to be met and purposes to be served.
