"Rodyyyy, my (n word) Rody, bro what's poppin"b "when we gonna hang" old friend asked.
"awww man, I really don't be out there like that anymore" my reply
"whatever, oh you too big for me now, huh" there reply, they give me the look of anger after they realize that I have grown beyond trying to be nonproductive in my life.
That is a fact of life for many I'm sure.
It's only been a few months that I began my process of getting my web/series up and running and I've already lost 4 people that were in the beginning with me, Two were because they couldn't be committed like I needed them to be and two others didn't agree with the way things were changing.
I know that further down the line I am going to hear the famous words "your not all that" or better yet,"I remember when..." and guess what I will say, "yes I am all that.
Now some may say is he cocky, but I'm not at all.
When I get finished with the project I will say, Wow!!! I worked at getting done what I have wanted to do since I went and saw " Rocky 3" 4 times in one day and than the next time I had a compulsion for movies I saw "Purple Rain" 5 times in a row.(Appolonia boob shoot) what 15 yr old didn't wanna go see that.
There comes a time when some people decide that Okay my life was going nowhere. I was waking up going to a "job" making someone else rich and I was struggling to make it weekly like most of us in the world.
I think I told the story of how I began with a Sony handy cam driving down the road and filming a highway scene, and now with a crew of 6 and a cast of 12, Prodigal will be on very soon.
Growing pains because I know that people will say that " oh you big now",
No, I'm not big I just remember calling to borrow money from family members, I reached out to one of my initial stars yesterday to see if he still wanted to be a part of Prodigal, and of course the same reply, not answering his cell phone or even returning the call. I attach myself to people that are living in their dreams and woke up to obtain all their imagination allows them to see. Success isn't given it's earned.
The growing pains will come I know, but I cannot stop growing, We have worked hard to make this happen and it is a awesome feeling to grow.
A rant that I usually don't do, but just some things I wanted to get off the chest.
Keep growing and pursing your dreams.
Go Be AWESOME for God.
