Neverland

PrOuD 2 pLaY & eNjOy GoOd FrIeNdS dAnCiNg HaVe FuN aLwAyS pLaY!! (and don’t mind the dirty fridge)

Taken in Neverland, my hood, community, hometown of 22 years before moving to a new continent one week ago today. I’ve travelled for mental peace, emotional stability, reflection and growth, “to get to know me… the real me” (in the words of Keyshia Cole, her song ”Just Like You”) and there is that word again, “real”. I miss Neverland already, and my good friends dancing, having fun, always playing. But I’m also happy I’m out of the hood, I can establish who I want to be and already am, in the space of no-one and nothing, free from who I’m suppose to be and of thoughts of all that I can ever be. But I do miss the all for one and one for all comfort of community, the hardworking people who have fun on their off hours in what I call speakeasys (you know, homes in the hood where you can get a shot of liquor for $2.50). Binge workers and partyers like me, no balance, little stability, but getting by. Enough respect for my people, enough love. Leaving was bittersweet, one moment I felt like Nas in his song “Not Going Back” the next I was cuddled with my mom and dad a little kid again. I guess that’s me, here, there and everywhere, always conflicted, never sure where I sit or stand, infatuated with what I’m told I can’t do or be and at the end of the day, that’s what I’ve come here for… one thing… possibility.
