prayer talking people
I know a lot of people that don't pray or anything, and that's fine - but I need to. I don't even want to call it prayer, I just want to call it talking to something bigger than me.
spiritual religious creating
I'm not religious, but I am spiritual and I am creating my own practice.
nice school years
Whatever people are doing, they're probably going to be doing it five years from now. You have your banker, your general store runner, the principal of the school, and things of that sort. It's nice to see that, and to get old with other people.
prayer meditation able
I just have to do prayers and meditation and affirmations to myself as I go throughout the day, and that's the only way I'm able to make it through some days.
parent matter belts
If my parents hadn't been made to do that from living in the Bible Belt, maybe it wouldn't be something that matters to me - maybe I wouldn't even know how to talk to God.
reality becoming prominent
I create my own reality. And I'm not the only one. My reality is becoming more prominent.
want looking-good ifs
Even though I like looking good - don't get me wrong - but if I don't want to, I don't have to.
color people trying
I've always kind of been in the middle of every room, trying to get people together, no matter what color they were.
school diversity church
Even from when I was in grade school or church or wherever, I was always like: we're one, and we should respect each other and grow as one. And respect each other's diversity, of course.
believe ignorance world
I can't believe the ignorance there, so I don't allow it to affect my life, I don't allow it to come into my zone, and it's not in my world, really.
art memphis enough
Memphis held onto me until I was far enough along in my art and then it let me go.
way path stay-true
I must stay true to myself and take my own path all the way.
people forever might
If you're going to be stuck somewhere forever, you might as well be around good people!
marrying
I dont marry bandmates just to go marrying bandmates.
