Frank Ocean's musical talent is something of an old soul. From his early works of The Lonny Breaux to his latest album Blond, the artist's expansion in music has given us a piece of home. I started listening to Frank Ocean when mixtape, The Lonny Breaux, released in 2011. I've followed his music every step of the way and i'll cherish him and his music as a bi-sexual male. Later to find out he's a member of Odd Future in 2012, he'd continue to surprise me more and more in later years.  On August 20th, 2016 Frank Ocean released his album Blond following the album Channel Orange. Both great albums. This is more of an appreciation post of him and would encourage everyone to check out some of his music. His spacey, R&B, ambient music truly touches home base with me. Him as a singer/songwriter and featured rapper makes him an inspiration to spiritual freedom. He's also featured on A$AP's mob Cozy Tapes 2, Odd futures early works, and other ...

OFWGKTA, multi-genre hip hop collective, emerged to the scene in 2009. Originally created by Tyler The Creator, the letters stand for Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. The collective consists of seven members, one of them named Earl Sweatshirt. The Rapper's real name is Thebe Neruda Kgositstile. Odd Future shook the hip hop scene with their intensely explicit lyrics, non-dimensional beats and eerie video content. This tight knit collective of people branched off a whole new genre of music and continues to inspire artists around the world. At the rise of their fame, Earl Sweatshirt leaves to a therapeutic reform school in Samoa. Tyler would start a "Free Earl" campaign in his absence without his consent. As their career paths took different turns, the seven letters would soon fade down memory lane. Tyler and Earl, especially, were displayed as close friends through the media. As time progressed, the two would separate into their own lives. Sweatshirt would ...

I firmly believe there are no right or wrong decisions but only consequences in the life you're given. Everyone has their share of wrongdoings and with that comes lessons. As we grow older, there's a lot of self-realization and awareness brought to our attention we never come to conclusions about. We start to drift. We start to want to experience new experiences, meet new people, travel the world. Even if we start to leave people and past lives, your wants start to manifest on their own and cause lots of friction in your life.  I had moved from San Jose to live in San Francisco about three years ago. Away from friends, away from family, and created a new life. Three years later, I had moved back home and have been trying to make sense of why I don't feel the same about the relationships and I have back home as I once did before. This was a terrifying experience and I felt as if my life was falling apart as I was at a loss of friends. I had spent months alone battling w...

The universe works in mysterious ways and whether you believe so or not, we're deeply connected to it. I'd say I'm a very spiritual being with high beliefs in karma, synchronicity, and some form of after life. People we come across, the events in our lives, all shape our lives and have meaning to them. If you're in a rough time, just know the universe is working in your favor.  Ponder this. We are nothing but consciousness in our bodies. Without our bodies we are nothing but consciousness.  We are only awareness.  Sounding crazy yet? Buddha said, "You don't have a soul, you are a soul, you have a body." Spiritual awakenings and ego death embody this ideal. You are more than just yourself. You, yourself, attend college. You, work a job. You, yourself, are a writer. Those are just things you do but do not define you. We give off energy, we feel energy, and are attuned to the world more than we think. Life can be a weird thing if you'...
