Inspired by Lyrics
Thank You- Alanis Morissette
how 'bout getting off of these antibiotics how 'bout stopping eating when I'm full up how 'bout them transparent dangling carrots how 'bout that ever elusive kudo thank you India thank you terror thank you disillusionment thank you frailty thank you consequence thank you thank you silence how 'bout me not blaming you for everything how 'bout me enjoying the moment for once how 'bout how good it feels to finally forgive you how 'bout grieving it all one at a time thank you India thank you terror thank you disillusionment thank you frailty thank you consequence thank you thank you silence the moment I let go of it was the moment I got more than I could handle the moment I jumped off of it was the moment I touched down how 'bout no longer being masochistic how 'bout remembering your divinity how 'bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out how 'bout not equating death with stopping thank you India thank you Providence thank you disillusionment thank you nothingness thank you clarity thank you thank you silence Yeah
Today is one of those days where I definately want to say thank you! thank you to all those who supported me along my journey!
To life, to chance, to opportunity. Thanks to all of my choices for landing me here, where I am today. I am so grateful.
Here i am in a pic from when I had first arrived in NYC about 5 years ago and I was working with Soundbar Recordings to get my music out there. We recorded two songs When I think of U and ME ME ME (if you see me). These songs were featured on their Fly Rap Money compilation. Both are up on itunes. At the time I was going by TK Rose and just putting myself out there. Really trying to survive in NYC. What a journey. Still the music pumps through my veins. Still I right songs and enjoy their melody. But lately all I can say is thank you! Thank you thank you. I can’t believe I have had the chance to live and travel and do so much! To sing and work and love and live to love again.
Just looking at that pictures brings back so many memories as if it were yesterday that we were all packed into that small car racing to Manhattan Bridge and over to Dumbo, then up to the Bronx to do our photo shoot.
We were having so much fun and were so full of faith and so supportive of each others art. I was singing all around the city for upcoming artists and really trying my best to live this thing.
Soon I felt the pressure to get a job and work to make money so that I could have a stable place to live. At the time I was not so confident in making my own way or living solely by faith and declaring my destiny. I wanted a weekly check. That slowed things down for me and opened up other doors. I continued to work and write and sing and the doors kept opening ever slightly based on my faith and determination.
Wow what a trip. Here I am today. Working and singing and living in a beautiful apartment in Harlem and the doors are still opening and God still has patience and grace as I continue to walk behind my passion.
