Walking Tall
Everybody can't be for you
It's impossible to gain a friend in everyone
And I know get over it is easier said than done
I get discouraged, I do
But I've learned from it all
This journey is all mine
--Semaj
So, let's be real. People have the capacity and the tendency to say things that aren't completely self esteem building or uplifting. In fact, they can say some things that are just rude. And I've learned that these people aren't always acting out of their own will, rather it is the jealous nature that has somehow found its way into their being. I understand.
Trust me, I've had moments of envy and moments where I wanted something someone else had. BUT, I've realized this: my dreams won't happen unless I make them. There are things I must do in order to get to desired end; expected end. So, jealousy is pointless. If you want something, get it.
I'm in the middle of one of the hardest journeys I've had to take. Pursuing music is difficult. There are so many stereotypes I want to stay away from. I want to keep my sound. I want to be myself in an industry that doesn't always smile upon that. In addition, I'm producing, pacakging and funding this entire project by myself. But this is what I want. And I'm willing to do whatever it takes.
I will not let the naysayers and the "haters" bring me down. I have to stay encouraged because I have enough to deal with. And I know my confidence can often be taken for arrogance, but those are never my intentions. I'm just focused. I know what I want and I'm going for it.
Moreover, I'm in the right place at the right time. I know my being at Howard bothers a lot of people from my home town. They think I've changed and, honestly, I have. However, how can you expect someone to go 500 miles away and be exposed to so much culture and positivity and not become a new person. I don't think I've changed for the worst. I think I'm just more aware of things and there are things I will not tolerate. I know what I deserve and what I'm capable of and apologizing for that is not in the cards.
So, what I'm trying to say is that I cannot let what others say about this road I'm taking affect me. If this is what I want, I have be ready to take everything that comes along with it. And I'll do it all with a smile. :-)
Well...thank you all for your love, support, criticism and instruction. I really am humbled by your help. Love you all!
Loving Always,

The Journey: Day 1
Let it be heard from the highest mountain top
Scream them until you believe in them
They are yours to keep
Your dreams are for you
No one else has to believe if you do
-Semaj
Hello world! Welcome to the first day of my life. Ok, so I know I've done a lot up until this point, but I've decided that my dreams are not just going to happen. I've got to work for them. But first I have to believe in them. With that said, today I'm getting serious about my career.
I've watched myself go from a small town girl with big city dreams to someone who is living in the actuality of those dreams. True, I haven't made it to the place that I would like to be, but I'm certain that I'm well on my way. I'm actualizing my dreams. I just want to be happy. And this is what makes me happy.
So, thank you all as I pursue this world of music. It's not an easy road, but I don't really do easy. I like a challenge :-) Thanks for all of your support and love. I ask that you stay with me as I try to bring music back to a great place. I love you all and I cannot wait to make it; though I feel like I already have!
Loving Always,
Semaj
