“And if you don’t know, now you know…”
First thought: That’s a tad redundant.
Second thought: The song Juicy by Notorious B.I.G., especially the following lyrics:
“It was all a dream…”
“Born sinner, the opposite of a winner / Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner.”
“And my whole crew is loungin’ / Celebratin’ every day, no more public housin’”
(Fun fact: I grew up in public housing).
Third thought: This is an alchemical process. An act of refinement.
“Natalie, what the hell are you talking about?” You ask.
Okay, here’s what’s up: This is a lock in and level up reading because I’m in a new mental playing field, and it’s go time. But like, y’know, in a higher minded way and stuff.
(In truth, I have had some epiphanies (more in truth, it actually came to me as I was typing this out) and it’s like, great, now I know, soooo what, do I just keep it status quo? (Unintentional rhythm, probably inspired by the song).
No. I am required to adjust my habits, conditions, and behaviors accordingly. So I better get on with it and do it.
“Reach for the Stars”
