From Nettie Interlude
Hey Dre, this is Net. I was thinking about our conversation the other day. Love. Acceptance. How often we hear these words -but how little we truly understand them. They use the term "love" to coax you into the same cages that killed the dreams of the ones before you. They use this idea of acceptance to lead you blindly through a graveyard of dreams hoping to entice you with the romanticism of promises in what this falsified love may bring.

Bargain your soul to receive their acceptance; Their acceptance will force you to settle in the comfort of their chains as these chains are far easier to face than the betrayal of your own true Self.

As you bend down to remove the chains from around your ankles; You Wake up to find that are none. There are no constraints holding you back from your very own version of freedom. The discomfort you feel is from the scars of your past resistance to be Yourself.  But This too will fade. Let go of the idea this you need to detach yourself from an identity that no longer serves you in order to be free.

Attach yourself to what IS the Truth. Your Truth. THIS is freedom. You don't need their acceptance to shine; You are Light. Dre, You don't need their Love.
