A Song About Life

This mix was originally put together by Stylo in 2004 or 2005.

 

Are you going through a rough spot?  Has your rough period lasted a long time?  I’m sure sometimes life’s challenges can seem like they are insurmountable.  And make no mistake, a few might be.

It seems so many are complaining about things that might be life changing, yet not life killing.  Always be skeptical of guarantees offered.  Life has no guarantees–except maybe that of change, whether it occurs at a fast pace or slow pace.  And although I have had a distaste for this phrase, it really is true, ‘what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.’

I am the type of person that has a fair amount of confidence that we all can out-live, out-last, or overcome these challenges.  Maybe the key is not to get too attached to just one version of your dreams.  Dreams come true all the time.  However, most people would be lying if they told you the dream looks just like it did in their head, or that the path to that dream was clearly marked and unfettered.

So continue to dream!  However, be open to the many ways that dream might come about.  You will be a stronger person for it.

This mix is a throwback for me.  The themes and moods in it are slightly autobiographical.  And yeah, I do hip-hop and downtempo music too.  What?  You didn’t know?!
