For the first time in a very long time, my personal blog has sat almost empty. There are no interesting or witty editorials happening. No time to talk about life, politics, sports, or whatever is on my mind. A few pictures here and there. Some quips. An asides. This is what it was supposed to be all along.
I’m distancing myself from everything I did for the past nine years. I know. That’s a big statement.
I’ve been in Los Angeles for a month and a half now. Everything in my life has really come together here. All my friends, business connections, and resources are here. In the past 45 days, I have partnered in on four new companies. It’s afforded me a comfortable lifestyle. I like living in Beverly Hills. There are some concessions I had to make.
I can’t be controversial and opinionated anymore. It doesn’t work here. I can be a cocky asshole, but I can’t have an opinion. It’s a strange juxtaposition, but I’m adjusting.
Lots of friends and family have a drastically reduced role in my life. I don’t think about them anymore, truly. I held onto a lot of people for too long. Today, I have amazing friends in my life. I have three amazing business partners.
In my heart, I’ve always known I could do something really big, and now I’m doing it. Every little boy from the south dreams of buying his mother a house and letting her retire comfortably. I want that for my mother. When my sister graduates from grad school, I want to buy her a car and a home.
In life, I’ve been blessed with intelligence, wit, and an almost strange sixth sense for business and numbers. Being around the amazing business minds I have been around lately has helped me realize a great deal of potential I never knew I had.
Being here has also allowed me to pursue hobbies like music, albeit indirectly. The recording studio I partnered on with Will has been filled with multi-platinum artists and Grammy winners. I’m also finding young talent and giving them free space to explore their musical talents. That makes me happy.
In time, I’ll probably have to deactivate this blog. I’m going to be 26 this year. I have to focus on real life now. Hope you all understand.
