Shout out to Lil Wayne but I think it's time he retired. He needs to take care of his physical and "mental health". He went stupid hard from 2004-2014! But nothing lasts forever.
Wayne is a legend idc what anyone say. Everyone call anyone a legend nowadays but wayne is the true definition. Out for decades, different genres, never got old, didn’t need drama, still makes songs with younger generations… and much more .
Wayne In the late 90s early 2000s pre 05 I would say he had every radio station on fire playing his songs back to back even up to 2012 I would say he would have smash hits but 99 threw 05 he had the streets on fire for real
Nah the real legends their body of work speaks so it’s kinda hard to call everyone a legend at some point when we know a lot of folks ain’t pumping music out
My favorite part was at 53:30 when Wayne said "I'm not studying nobody. My favorite book, my favorite movie, my inspiration is what I see in the mirror. That's who I study. I'm not tryna be like anybody else. Be like me" 😤🤷🏾♂️
Whenever this man leaves here I just HOPE the 🌎world know how truly legendary this man is his run was different 🎯🐐&he birth a whole generation of rappers the sound,diamond teeth,tattoos etc
That’s true man it’s really a bunch of lil Wayne’s running around ..and honestly Kanye west too Wayne’s run along with 808’s and heartbreaks changed the game
Every interview that I've seen with Lil Wayne his vibe and his energy is always just so welcoming. He is the epitome of what rap should be and what growth looks like in the industry.
Wayne is a generational and musical treasure. He needs to be more appreciated it. MIXTAPE WEEZY changed the music industry forever. His lyrical game metaphor game is probably the best ever 💯
@@T.Sullivan he was it was just that young money fucked him hard and didn’t promote him enough kind of sucks because he’s got the bars since the days of his mixtapes and was still underrated too.
@@clsisul Carter v was thrash it had 3 good songs which were already old and possibly Carter 4 left out. Funeral was garbage I mean ima huge Wayne fan but even I can’t deny his new shit is thrash.
@@alancampos4304 you’re not a huge lil Wayne fan because if you were, you’d understand. You sound like ocho getting mad about not getting signed. In fact, I think you are ocho on a burner.
This was so lit, Wayne is so humble and down to earth and just an overall blast to be around, u would never know he has achieved greatness and the G.O.A.T I really enjoyed this whole show. #1 Wayne fan here!!!
Number 1 fan you like mixtape Wayne better or album Wayne if you could only listen to all his albums or all his mixtapes for the rest of your life which one would you pick
@@juanthedon7862 mixtapes. Bruh, i love to hear Wayne drop a freestyle on someone else beat and just kill it. Its his somg and beat after he’s finished with it. 2000-2012 was my favorite Era until Birdman fucked him over and wouldn’t let him drop music.
That’s crazy after all these years being the greatest alive in some opinions Wayne still wants to learn more bout music talking bout getting a vocal coach, learning guitar , etc .. shows how much passion he puts into it all gotta respect it 💯
He's said that's what he ALREADY did. He had the vocal coach (RIP) & he took guitar lessons so he could put out a rock album. He is who he is bc he already done all that but yet he stills wants to take in more. He is THE LEGEND! ❤
Lil Wayne is one of the reasons I take an artistic approach to music... Every beat I create is like a painting or a storyline. I just hope I get the opportunity to thank him in person for unknowingly giving me that level of confidence thru his music
The best at their best...has to be wayne charisma 1000 presence on the mic 1000 dude rapped like he was talking to you constant bars lines that stayed in your head he had the whole package
Wayne's story was enlightening. He is introspective and low-key funny. Ocho is a phking star PERIOD. He needs a recurring role in a sitcom playing himself.
Ocho should be a guest host on SNL or like a sketch comedy show. Imagine a skit where Ocho is a nutritionist to a QB (ala Brady and his guy parody). A studio parody skit with Ocho the rapper. lol.

Wayne doesn’t get enough credit. He’s the Jayz for the 90s babies. I remember burning straight Wayne mixtapes from Limewire and bumpin dat shit all through high school. For my generation, me personally WAYNE IS THE GOAT
The best rapper alive til the day (God forbid) Wayne pass.. And then he'll be the best rapper to ever live. Which he is already. Been one of Wayne biggest fans/supporters since 2003 right before the first Carter album dropped. It's been a hell of a ride an as a fan of Wayne, we are so spoiled to be able to witness so much greatness in 1 human being. A true genius.
Chad Ochocinco really needs to start his comedy career.... he would definitely be successful at it and prove to people that there is life after football
I love Lil Wayne's humor and vibe. Always very positive and chill. Great interview Brandon and team. Keep up the good work. We miss you on First Things First
YO!!! Ocho had me on the floor the entire interview 🤣 I grew up listening to Wayne and never watched one of his interviews. Podcast really has changed the game, these interviews are more intimate and relatable. You can tell they were in awe of Wayne’s presence, like school kids. My only thing is the interview wasn’t long enough, Drink Champs has spoiled me lol
Wayne is definitely a solid guy and I appreciated all of his efforts he put into his music through out the years. I feel his soon to be last album coming soon will end with a bang.
I’m so thankful for Lil Wayne, I was born 1990 and this dude is and was a Fkin Legend (1 of the greatest) and biggest influential artists in my time! He gave so many fun nights to a hip hop fan like me! Thank you Sr Wayne, Chad Ocho and everyone else That was involved with this dope podcast/show.
On me right away my fuck boy In the rapper game okay no fuck rapper in the game to me don't really really want it with him okay on me for I My flavor of all time is sill here
At 36 growing up on Wayne I literally couldn’t wait to watch this…just got some free time..I can appreciate the Prince, Michael Jackson reference to who Wayne is, what he means to the culture..
As an artist myself, I have the Greatest respect for Wayne.. I still remember being 14 years old listening to Lil Wayne, told myself that that's who I wanna be like. 10 years later i rapper too💥🔥🔥. More life to Lil Wayne
Best rapper alive Your favorite rapper, rapper Lil Wayne is going down as one of the most influential, dynamic, musical artist that adapted through time and spawned a new generation and still being relevant and on top the whole way
This man been doin this for 28 years mann and still killin everybody in the game you know how hard it is to do that and say different things and to adjust to the new generation of music this guy is amazing im 31 been rocking to wayne since squad up days 500 degrees hot boys he's the goat period 🐐
Salute to Jag for getting this major look.. this was a once and life time chance to rap in front of wayne and you killed it! (The guy rapping at the end who made Weezy stand up)
After all that drama between Jag & Rare Breed Ent., I'm actually genuinely happy for him and to see that he took a risk for himself/his career and managed to be the most impressive rapper the cypher!
Jag been rapping before battle rap, He was getting major looks and features before that, I'm sure he ran into him before, he run with Cassidy and got music with wayne
This was so good! Love to see grown intelligent black men have a conversation that breaks down process, talent, the journey to success. this was so authentic
I am Athlete is just amazing on so many levels and this was a classic conversation and extremely needed. It was great to see Wayne in good spirits and talking about his come up and dedication to his gift. Also the way Cash Money and Wayne were really about their business and had thought out plans even when it came to writing. This was a needed conversation. Thanks
Wayne really has been the realist artist bro when he says it’s hard to not be creative is so dope I was telling my people when he said he was gone retire I said that same sentence he can’t just say he gone stop
My first album i bought was Tha Carter from Walmart..censored version. As a kid I used to fall asleep listening to the whole album. He has been my favorite artist my whole life. And it ain’t changing. Wayne is my 🐐
this was a beautiful episode man...so much joy and genuine love man. its refreshing to see black brothers come and connect so wholesomly man. as youngin this is what I wish for all my people to experience this as much as possible
Your right! Sex, well, I don’t know. That’s a human biological need and the world literally was built through sex so idk if it will wake up one day being irrelevant in human interest. Guns. Well. The freaking government has something to do with this. Deep subject though. Drugs, deep too, but well, I’ll side you on this.
It wouldn’t be promoted because the industry is designed to destroy minds of youth. It’s more profitable for prison industrial complex and corporate America in general creating a consumer culture
I love him❤❤❤my favorite rapper...definitely on my list of things to do before the end of 2023. I can't wait to experience him live in concert. I've been loving this man since 1996
This is one the greatest interview I have ever seen. The respect paid to the legend and the production and preparation put in is amazing. I lowkey have felt some type of way about I AM ATHLETE since the split or whatever, but now I see the vision of what you all are trying to do over there. Shout out to ya'll man.
I’m glad that I was in the era to experience the greatness of one of the rap Goats 💯💯💯💯 To me, Lil Wayne will always be one of the greatest rappers alive.
He needs to find his voice,... build his confidence up when engaging in conversation. He slouches and doesn't look men in the eyes, and looks down while talking. It shows he wasn't comfortable. Him being uncomfortable affected his delivery a bit as while, although he eventually got into the flow.
@@auniquedisposition9009 I was thinking the same thing watching him talk. When Brandon asked him is he up next I was thinking he can't be up next. He doesn't have near the charisma that Drake or Nicki does. He got all the skill, but he's gotta work on his body language and posture
Brandon Marshall all in Euro’s personal space, he crack me tf up. The room when silent when the Spanish lyrics came out, I felt bad for bro, but this whole show was great 😄
Bruhh been looking and waiting for Euro since him spazzing on C.R.E.A.M. So happy to see Wayne putting him up next! Wayne is forever the GOAT and forever an artist in my top 5. He tapped into my childhood and an artist I will always look up to! Go off Euro! Supporting 100%
oh shit you just reminded me that he was on that tape. I was fuckin w his verse on Fuckin Problems too, crazy it just clicked for me that its him lol damn that was a min ago
That song called “Pull Up” off of Free Weezy Album went hard too and Wayne gave him his own solo song off that 2nd Young Money album. Euro can really spit
Little Wayne is the absolute best man/Musical genius I have ever listened too!!! Real, honest and don't give a fuc what the status quo is!!!! He is constantly correcting mos that try and tell him what to think, my favorite of all time.. I been a fan for 25 year's!!!!!
Been a fan of Wayne since he came out rapping as a teen, watched his growth through Mixtape Wayne, how he went from “he’s a fire rapper from the south” to “he’s the best rapper alive” Carter 2 era Wayne & all the mixtapes he was dropping was really something special for me personally & everyone I know. We came up on Wayne’s music through middle school in the early 2000’s all the way until now hes still making great music & improves his flow/wordplay/cadence,etc. He’s the goat imo. You can tell Pac Man & Ocho really come from the bottom they relate to Wayne & understand it. Salute to everyone up there
@@jhall700 Bingo. Excellent answer. In my Book when it comes to lyrics I would rank Wayne #9 but thats because the others in front are Monsters. Just to name a few I would put Black Thought, Tech 9 and Crooked I ahead of Wayne.
I felt what Wayne said about “putting a glass ceiling” if you're a true creative person it's never ending: it's his way of existing. Most come in the game to change their lifestyle and the music reflects that. Some are effortlessly creative because it natural as their existence it's one in the same. I love music but my talent is elsewhere because that's just what I do. he said 25 years felt like 25 minutes but isn't that the way it should be with something you love; how do you retire or stop and walk away from it? Like saying don't breathe; you can't. You don't need the extra men because you have learned all process to make the product. -I think he's ever changing. There will never be any destination for him. The game is not set up like that this was designed to have a end. So he's on pause until his next coming. Wanted to expand upon that because we hand out these titles to people that really don't embody or quantify on what's bestowed upon them. We need to stop making these fly by nights or I just was trying to change my situation the Goats and Icons they clearly aren't. This man is true greatness we have a few more. But not many. Some have good music but they aren't submerged via The heart.
Keep adapting and changing that’s in the Bible, most design books, a lot of development books etc. he definitely understood how the concept works and that’s good :)
@@jeremymartin9148 literally same idea that’s behind Jay z and the blueprint. He created his own blueprint in his mind but he didn’t put a ceiling in his blueprint like most people do and if you listen to his lyrics he’s giving you the game to come up with your own blueprint. Master P spoke on the same “mental blueprint” philosophy also
Thank you that just hit the deepest parts of my soul. It was an honor to watch this, amd then listen as well half way thru. You are so wise in the words you say. There are nonwords to describe the connections felt, however the way that you all puf the words together to paint the picture is beautifully done and it felted organically. I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you someday. I dont even know what I should call you, respectfully or respectively. I dont know how I dont have the courage fo hear your respected! What you said about you not thinking of a direction for your legend, is someghing I comprehend, I think. Because I see opportunities and blessings, and what feels like friends and family, (without titles or histories that I know of) from past times, but the fear of going outside the guidelines again within my own moral compass, and risking things I dont understand by putting people's lives anywhere close to me, is actually is what has kept me at this point. At the same time I would love too stop hearing me complain and make more mempries like these and including myself and my family and everyone else. Do you want to work with patience, am. D at felt lik a famly reunion Thank you for your blessings.

YO!!! Ocho had me on the floor the entire interview 🤣 I grew up listening to Wayne and never watched one of his interviews. Podcast really has changed the game, these interviews are more intimate and relatable. You can tell they were in awe of Wayne’s presence, like school kids. My only thing is the interview wasn’t long enough, Drink Champs has spoiled me lol
Ocho talkin bout he coming off the top while reading his phone. 🤣
Talkin bout "I like the we". That bout was dead serious the whole time.
Fuuuuck me too!! 😂
Wayne is definitely a solid guy and I appreciated all of his efforts he put into his music through out the years. I feel his soon to be last album coming soon will end with a bang.
He isn't retiring any time soon.
I’m so thankful for Lil Wayne, I was born 1990 and this dude is and was a Fkin Legend (1 of the greatest) and biggest influential artists in my time! He gave so many fun nights to a hip hop fan like me! Thank you Sr Wayne, Chad Ocho and everyone else That was involved with this dope podcast/show.
On me right away my fuck boy In the rapper game okay no fuck rapper in the game to me don't really really want it with him okay on me for I My flavor of all time is sill here
All love dad
Born 1990 as well I truly appreciate the era of music I grew up in!
You remember then just how big the Carter 3 was in highschool.
Shootout to 1990s babies
Thank you UA-cam for this platform. Good content guys. Was great to see Wayne. Grow up on his music. 🇿🇦
Shoutout to Omar. He kept the journalism flow and control going.
He did but I just wish he did a lil bit more research on Wayne. He called the man Curren$y. 🤦🏽♂️
I just wish he wasn't so in your face when he ask some shit..
At 36 growing up on Wayne I literally couldn’t wait to watch this…just got some free time..I can appreciate the Prince, Michael Jackson reference to who Wayne is, what he means to the culture..
As an artist myself, I have the Greatest respect for Wayne.. I still remember being 14 years old listening to Lil Wayne, told myself that that's who I wanna be like. 10 years later i rapper too💥🔥🔥. More life to Lil Wayne
Wayne is definitely outta the world. Such a phenomenal being, insane.
Fhenomenal* in lil wayne voice
These dudes had too much fun on this episode! I absolutely LOVE IT! Wayne should be a recurring guest on the show!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Foreallll brooooo that would be dope af
Wayne the greatest ever man. Listener for life, hasn’t fallen off one bit
Been a fan since 500 Degreez
Young thug took over his career
@@cavemanrissy4801 🤣🤣🤣🤣 stay off the drugs troll
@@cavemanrissy4801 hell nah

I believe we were blessed to be able to have lil Wayne in this world he had done so much for me with his music straight goat 🐐
Best rapper alive
Your favorite rapper, rapper
Lil Wayne is going down as one of the most influential, dynamic, musical artist that adapted through time and spawned a new generation and still being relevant and on top the whole way
Wayne is the only legend that can NOT give an answer to a question and it still be the best answer you could ever think of, goat 🐐🐐
This man been doin this for 28 years mann and still killin everybody in the game you know how hard it is to do that and say different things and to adjust to the new generation of music this guy is amazing im 31 been rocking to wayne since squad up days 500 degrees hot boys he's the goat period 🐐
Salute to Jag for getting this major look.. this was a once and life time chance to rap in front of wayne and you killed it! (The guy rapping at the end who made Weezy stand up)
I knew I recognized him... he’s a battle rapper right?
@@neworleanseveryday8450 yup. He killed it.
After all that drama between Jag & Rare Breed Ent., I'm actually genuinely happy for him and to see that he took a risk for himself/his career and managed to be the most impressive rapper the cypher!
Jag is fire in battle rap and that freestyle he just did on here was heat in the trap
Jag been rapping before battle rap, He was getting major looks and features before that, I'm sure he ran into him before, he run with Cassidy and got music with wayne
One of my fav pods of all time, just a bunch of goats keepin it real
PAC MAN is just raw and funny. Wayne is just hanging out and having fun. This episode was full of good positive energy. AND SMILES & SMOKES
This was so good! Love to see grown intelligent black men have a conversation that breaks down process, talent, the journey to success. this was so authentic
Lil Wayne is a drug addicted, drug promoting, women bashing, blasphemous detriment to society
@@joerodriguez6587 I know you’re 50+ years old. Have to be. Either that or special Ed which one?
@@joerodriguez6587 yet here you are …:🤦🏾♂️
@@joerodriguez6587 we know that bro.
But it's a 🐐 without wayne no real music playing in the game!
I am Athlete is just amazing on so many levels and this was a classic conversation and extremely needed. It was great to see Wayne in good spirits and talking about his come up and dedication to his gift. Also the way Cash Money and Wayne were really about their business and had thought out plans even when it came to writing. This was a needed conversation. Thanks
@52:37 - Wayne's answer to the question has some BEAUTIFUL wisdom.❤🎉
Lil Wayne is the definition of music... great interview too
Wayne really has been the realist artist bro when he says it’s hard to not be creative is so dope I was telling my people when he said he was gone retire I said that same sentence he can’t just say he gone stop
Wayne is a genius…. Who was surrounded and raised by the same. Awesome stuff
I'm a genius too. I'm just scary, I'm scared to get circumcised
Birdman kissed them lil boys😭😭
It’s good to see a bunch of brothas get together and have a good time. This was a good interview/ cypher/ vibe/ good times
My first album i bought was Tha Carter from Walmart..censored version. As a kid I used to fall asleep listening to the whole album. He has been my favorite artist my whole life. And it ain’t changing. Wayne is my 🐐
this was a beautiful episode man...so much joy and genuine love man. its refreshing to see black brothers come and connect so wholesomly man. as youngin this is what I wish for all my people to experience this as much as possible
Love how Wayne attributes his early success to work ethic and structure. Imagine if we glorified those values instead of money, guns, drugs, and sex.
People buy the product, not how it was made
@@ca1637 artists do more than create products. They shape culture.
If only he RAPPED about those thing and not just money and drugs.
Your right! Sex, well, I don’t know. That’s a human biological need and the world literally was built through sex so idk if it will wake up one day being irrelevant in human interest. Guns. Well. The freaking government has something to do with this. Deep subject though. Drugs, deep too, but well, I’ll side you on this.
It wouldn’t be promoted because the industry is designed to destroy minds of youth. It’s more profitable for prison industrial complex and corporate America in general creating a consumer culture
I love him❤❤❤my favorite rapper...definitely on my list of things to do before the end of 2023. I can't wait to experience him live in concert. I've been loving this man since 1996
He embraces all music.. This is what makes him 🐐🐐
Lil Wayne is easily the greatest rapper ever! I appreciate this interview. Good vibes with the GOAT.
This is one the greatest interview I have ever seen. The respect paid to the legend and the production and preparation put in is amazing. I lowkey have felt some type of way about I AM ATHLETE since the split or whatever, but now I see the vision of what you all are trying to do over there. Shout out to ya'll man.
What split?
.. I really enjoyed this interview, the vibes was on one thousand🥂.
Wayne is a legend 🙌🏽.
That new artist was 🔥.
Ocho rapping was hilarious.
I’m glad that I was in the era to experience the greatness of one of the rap Goats 💯💯💯💯 To me, Lil Wayne will always be one of the greatest rappers alive.
Been waiting on EURO to come out for a minute!! Good to see him get some shine here.
I’m the Officialeuro check the stats
Frfr. He can rap like a MF 🔥
Euro been that dude since 14. He gone kill these artists
He needs to find his voice,... build his confidence up when engaging in conversation. He slouches and doesn't look men in the eyes, and looks down while talking. It shows he wasn't comfortable.
Him being uncomfortable affected his delivery a bit as while, although he eventually got into the flow.
@@auniquedisposition9009 I was thinking the same thing watching him talk. When Brandon asked him is he up next I was thinking he can't be up next. He doesn't have near the charisma that Drake or Nicki does. He got all the skill, but he's gotta work on his body language and posture
Brandon Marshall all in Euro’s personal space, he crack me tf up. The room when silent when the Spanish lyrics came out, I felt bad for bro, but this whole show was great 😄
Bruhh been looking and waiting for Euro since him spazzing on C.R.E.A.M. So happy to see Wayne putting him up next! Wayne is forever the GOAT and forever an artist in my top 5. He tapped into my childhood and an artist I will always look up to! Go off Euro! Supporting 100%
oh shit you just reminded me that he was on that tape. I was fuckin w his verse on Fuckin Problems too, crazy it just clicked for me that its him lol damn that was a min ago
How can you look up to someone who hasn't done nothing for his culture but drink lean and pop perks all day
Euro tuff 🔥🔥D5 and D6
Euro is so nice. I like how he has his own flow too. I never looked into his songs but he has bars
That song called “Pull Up” off of Free Weezy Album went hard too and Wayne gave him his own solo song off that 2nd Young Money album. Euro can really spit
Absolutely Amazing Podcast!!! Keep continuing success in this and every other field you're in💯.
Little Wayne is the absolute best man/Musical genius I have ever listened too!!! Real, honest and don't give a fuc what the status quo is!!!! He is constantly correcting mos that try and tell him what to think, my favorite of all time.. I been a fan for 25 year's!!!!!
I like how he said you want smoke and Wayne did what he always do light that blunt 🔥💯🤣 the intro too legendary
Thank you B Marsh and the team at I AM ATHLETE for bringing this to us. SO much love in this.
This interview will be one of the best interviews of 2022! 🔥🔥🔥
Been a fan of Wayne since he came out rapping as a teen, watched his growth through Mixtape Wayne, how he went from “he’s a fire rapper from the south” to “he’s the best rapper alive” Carter 2 era Wayne & all the mixtapes he was dropping was really something special for me personally & everyone I know. We came up on Wayne’s music through middle school in the early 2000’s all the way until now hes still making great music & improves his flow/wordplay/cadence,etc. He’s the goat imo. You can tell Pac Man & Ocho really come from the bottom they relate to Wayne & understand it. Salute to everyone up there
PAC-man’s excitement for smoking with Lil Wayne 🤣 That’s pure Joy!
If you don’t say Wayne ain’t the goat, you just a hater! This man been around damn near 30 years and still at the top of his game
Facts i know alot of people say jayz but wayne is someone I think most people can relate too. He's the goat
Not a hater to say he not the goat. He not lyrically the goat of rap. That's personal preference.
@@zayboii Right on
@@jhall700 Bingo. Excellent answer. In my Book when it comes to lyrics I would rank Wayne #9 but thats because the others in front are Monsters. Just to name a few I would put Black Thought, Tech 9 and Crooked I ahead of Wayne.
@@digfitness7598 yea exactly
I felt what Wayne said about “putting a glass ceiling” if you're a true creative person it's never ending: it's his way of existing. Most come in the game to change their lifestyle and the music reflects that. Some are effortlessly creative because it natural as their existence it's one in the same. I love music but my talent is elsewhere because that's just what I do. he said 25 years felt like 25 minutes but isn't that the way it should be with something you love; how do you retire or stop and walk away from it? Like saying don't breathe; you can't. You don't need the extra men because you have learned all process to make the product. -I think he's ever changing. There will never be any destination for him. The game is not set up like that this was designed to have a end. So he's on pause until his next coming. Wanted to expand upon that because we hand out these titles to people that really don't embody or quantify on what's bestowed upon them. We need to stop making these fly by nights or I just was trying to change my situation the Goats and Icons they clearly aren't. This man is true greatness we have a few more. But not many. Some have good music but they aren't submerged via The heart.
Makes sense since he titled his mixtapes "No Ceilings"
Keep adapting and changing that’s in the Bible, most design books, a lot of development books etc. he definitely understood how the concept works and that’s good :)
@@kristopherleslie8343 you're so right I never thought of that!
Literally what separates great artists from just an artist. Doesn’t even have to be music. Could be any medium of art. Same thing
@@jeremymartin9148 literally same idea that’s behind Jay z and the blueprint. He created his own blueprint in his mind but he didn’t put a ceiling in his blueprint like most people do and if you listen to his lyrics he’s giving you the game to come up with your own blueprint. Master P spoke on the same “mental blueprint” philosophy also
They gon say Wayne was the greatest rapper to have ever lived when he’s gone but imma say it now. Wayne is the greatest rapper of all time.
Thank you that just hit the deepest parts of my soul. It was an honor to watch this, amd then listen as well half way thru. You are so wise in the words you say.
There are nonwords to describe the connections felt, however the way that you all puf the words together to paint the picture is beautifully done and it felted organically.
I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you someday. I dont even know what I should call you, respectfully or respectively. I dont know how I dont have the courage fo hear your respected!
What you said about you not thinking of a direction for your legend, is someghing I comprehend, I think.
Because I see opportunities and blessings, and what feels like friends and family, (without titles or histories that I know of) from past times, but the fear of going outside the guidelines again within my own moral compass, and risking things I dont understand by putting people's lives anywhere close to me, is actually is what has kept me at this point.
At the same time I would love too stop hearing me complain and make more mempries like these and including myself and my family and everyone else. Do you want to work with patience, am.
D at felt lik a famly reunion
Thank you for your blessings.
