FLOATIN'
WHAT LIFE HAS BEEN LIKE
AYYYYYYYYOOOOOOO 😂. What’s up yall! It’s been about 3 years since I last submitted a blog here, but man does it feel good to be back. I recently had the itch to write again. To just let the thoughts flow, to put out something pure, and to connect with those that care to connect. Life, as of lately, has felt like those moments I’d be at the beach and just float in the ocean. Looking up at the sky, letting the water completely carry your body as the water fills your ears and you can’t hear anything. That sense of peace. That sense of being present, but letting life take its course, almost like an out of body experience. That’s what it’s felt like, not happy, not sad, but just still and in the moment. Experiencing that out of body experience.
Life been wild man, let me tell you. I feel like I’ve been through just about any and everything in the last three years. Some things I will continue to keep private, but some things I don’t mind speaking on. For a better sense, to provide you with that depth. How to even start this, I don’t know where to even start, but I guess the most recent thing and working backwards would make better sense.
Just recently Ash & I had our home broken into and if incase you didn’t know before, we actually were running the whole business out of our home at the time. All of our Wise Mind inventory was taken. That in itself was a huge hit. We had just had new items hit the shelf as well as had a restock on a few items. The majority of Ash & I’s shoe collection was stolen. We do have a few pairs in storage, but we lost some of our most loved pairs. We had things taken, like electronics, personal clothes, baseball case, etc. Ash & I had a baseball case that we would collect a ball from every new MLB stadium that we would visit, a case that’d serve no value to anyone else, was completely gone. I’ll never forget the sound of Ash walking down our hallway screaming & crying for me as we came in the front door that day. I ain’t gonna lie, it’s been almost a month now and I’m still traumatized by that day. I play out several “what if’s”, I’m constantly checking locks, viewing newly installed cameras, and I can’t sleep most days. The biggest thing I’ve noticed about myself since the incident, is that I’ve been having a hard time remembering short term things throughout my day. Like if I’m supposed to be completing a task, I’ll just forget it while trying to do it, if that makes sense. I don’t know if thats tied to anything specific, but yea, shits been tough as of late. It’s hard being excited for a new Wise Mind release, it’s hard to be excited for our vacation this year, it’s hard tapping into my purpose everyday. We work our ass off for everything we have and to have that done to us is a situation I have yet to let go.
Shortly before that was the 1 year anniversary of dealing with somethin I have yet to understand. Something I’ve had to just accept as apart of my story. I still haven’t healed from it, but it’s a battle i face internally every day. Aside from that, medical shit always lingers around. I’ve yet to find out what’s wrong with me, but I wake up with stomach pain just about every day, if not every other day.
Admits all this, having to deal with shit I don’t even be caring about, like people’s egos. I don’t associate myself with many people, cause honestly a lot of those relationships be half-assed. People don’t be caring about people. They just be there to suck them dry of their resources, time, and love. It be the slightest thing that happens and all the sudden they talking shit about the person they be saying they love. This ain’t even personal, I’m just an extremely observant person. I just realize, as life goes on, that I just don’t care to be wrapped up in anything. People got the dynamics of a genuine relationship all fucked up. With that being said, this part is personal. If you felt like at a time where my wife and I were completely kicked down, you were entitled to bring us anything but comfort and peace, you’re completely wrong. THAT’S GON’ COST YOU. Karma is going to do it’s thing and that’s that. There comes a spiritual price for those that prey on the weak and it may not be something you experience now, but eventually. For those that hit us up to be nosey, but aint give two shits bout our situation, THAT’S GON’ COST YOU.
On a brighter note, we have two new pieces dropping soon. Of course, just like in the past, I got to leave SOME info here about it 😂. It’s two new t-shirts. These shirts are to highlight 2 key points, 1) the brands anniversary and 2) us losing literally everything and building it back up. Both tees carrying two thoughts I had while going through this time. Two things I’ve looked at constantly as a reminder to keep my head up. The tees should be dropping in about 2 weeks, so stay tuned for that. Making sure every little detail is on point before dropping.
Thank you again to everyone that has reached out to Ash and I since our incident, those that donated/shared our go fund me, and to those that continue to support our brand. Thank you so much! Love yall!
Much Love and see you soon!
