ILLDRM© Saturday Shout Out: 'In Retrospect' by Sherika


"In life people come and go, but sometimes the things that matters most are the not things at all. Everything about life has to do with people, situations, and various reasons of the why’s and why nots. The purpose of these issues is what’s at stake, whether they are people, situations, etc…. Sometimes in life we have to understand that we cannot depend on others to share our joys, visions, interpretations, etc… about life. When at the moment, there are no sometimes and what we have are the moments. They help us grow, prosper, but most importantly expand. Expand on the knowledge that others constantly and consistently take for granted. Now, I am human, but what does that mean to be human. A shell with a lot of organs and tissues, combined with thoughts that evoke the person I am supposed to become? Evoked by the individuality that we have and constantly challenge the dreams and mindset that others have. SO yes, I am human. I am a person who has become human, but more importantly become who I need to be. Practice what you preach and explore what you know yet understand the things that we value most aren’t things at all. I still struggle, I still need, I still want, I still grow. Into a flower that I often lose on the account of things that people normally take for granted. But what is it that I really want. What is it that we all search for in a sense? Is it love? Yes it’s love. We all want to feel something that we cannot control, yet so powerful that we can’t reach. Something that can’t be touched, seen, heard, smelled, even thought about. Or is it? Is it physical? Can we tremendously take something so evident and mix it into a blender to manifest into something magnificent. Well I think we can. I think we can do it if we all try to be this evident with our work."


Symbolically Yours,
