I was feeling misunderstood last week.
But the real issue was… that I forgot that it didn't matter.
Being misunderstood is not anything new to me.
And sometimes when I'm not my highest self for various reasons I forget that it's actually to be expected when you’re an artist. Because the point of being an artist is that you are a visionary. If everyone already understood you, then there would be nothing revolutionary about what you have to say…
So here's to all my misunderstood artists - and misunderstood people - (I actually believe we are all artists of some type deep down, whether you know it / identify with it, or not.)
I may not understand you - but I sure do understand that emotion - and I empathize with you ❤️
And to the people misunderstanding me; that’s the thing - you don't need to understand.
You don't need to figure it out.
To try to correct.
Just - have empathy.
That’s all. Thank you.
And thanks for the inspiration 😉
xo A.E.O
Misunderstood.
God, tell me -
Why does this happen?
My intentions are good
I always think that I’m on path
And then my path gets
Shook
I'm always keeping the faith…
So I try leading the way…
But as soon as I’m almost there
Looks like I’ve gone astray
Again
How did I lose my way?
Again
I was so sure this time I had it figured out
Am I, or am I not, meant to have any doubt?
Focus on what you want -
But don’t get attached
I'd like to say 'it's easy'
But how the fuck do you do THAT?
I thought I knew...
But that was yesterday
So now where to?
God, please show me the way 🙏
And then you do -
I see it in my mind
I run towards it
Every time
And then I get there
But I’m standing there alone
So now, where do I go?
