you are the light


“You are the light.
It’s not on you.
It’s in you.
Don’t ever you in your life, dim your light for nobody.”
- St. Chroma, Tyler, the Creator

Tyler, the Creator’s new album starts with this message from his mother, who acts as his guide throughout the album.

It’s an excellent message for all of us to remember because maybe we’re in a position where light seems to be shining on us, or we’re chasing others who we think have light shining on them. We need to remember that the light is within us, so we don’t need to ever worry about losing it or needing to chase it—it’s already here.

We just need to find it within and let it shine.


See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

“Being an alien is just being yourself, when people don't understand you. We just trying to let everybody know there's a place for everybody in this world.

That's how you get prosperous and happy." -Andre 3000 This week, the album ATLiens by Outkast turned thirty, which is hard to believe, given what that means about my age. ATLiens came out my freshman year of high school—I remember this without having to check the date because I...
