I connected with a beauty.
Home by 121SELAH. Currently playing loud via my earphones.
One of things I'm looking forward to doing is finding new artists and falling in love with them.
No, 121SELAH is not a new "artist."
On Friday, I had a brilliant call with a guy. Call him A. It was a mind consultation call.
You see, one of the obstacles A was facing was constant fear of the unknown.
Fear of the future.
Uncertainty.
You know the feeling you get when you think of the future and all in your mind is darkness.
Gross darkness covering the face of the earth. But this time, it is not the earth.
It is your mind.
Somehow you find yourself in fear. Worried and with chattering teeth, you find yourself deep necked in concern.
Now
Sit
We shall speak about it.
Currently Comfortable by H.E.R is up.
Where were we?
Playing pretend.
Now
The fear of the future is valid. Real, even. As real as the phone in your hands. Not delusional like your situationship.
The fear of the future comes from a place of wanting to play God.
I will explain.
Playing God in the form of wanting control. You fear because you do not have a sense of control.
So you rebel.
And you fear.
We are humans. We want to be in control. We want to control things. We want to control the future.
And when that control is absent, we fear it.
You fear the future because you have no control over it.
No
Read that AGAIN.
No sugar coating so if this is harsh, well, I warned you.
Now
FIX YOUR FRIGGIN SELF.
Want to stop being afraid of the future, fix yourself. You feel this way because you have no control over the future.
You have not projected your ideas into the future and now it looks bleak.
Yes, it friggin looks bleak because there is nothing in it. Your ideas are absent.
I wish I could reach out and drag your ears so you understand what I mean.
I desperately hope this does not fly over your head.
And if it does, I guess this was not meant for it.
It will make sense to those it was meant to meet.
Celebrate by Ryan Ofei is playing. No, it's not a fast danceable song.
Now
Where were we?
Fear of the future.
Fear of the future is present because there is no control. You ain't writing your future.
Consider this
An irrational friend. This person is unpredictable.
So each time you go to meet them, you are afraid of how they would react. You fear what they would do.
Consider another scenario
Still an irrational friend
But this time, you are aware of their unpredictable nature and you made plans.
You ready yourself.
Constant and constantly.
What happens in that scenario?
When you eventually meet them, fear picked up it's slippers and ran far away from you.
Why?
Because you are in control and you control. You are aware of it and you exercise it and you plan for it too.
Una Vida Pasada by Camilo and Carin Leon is up.
I suddenly feel like doing a mini dance.
Salsa.
Someone, explain to me why I wasn't born an Italian again.
Back to where we were.
You fear the future because you do not have control over it.
Dancing imaginary salsa again.
Wait
Dancing again.
Alright. Back to talk. Seriously.
Want to stop being afraid of it?
Take control.
How?
Plan. Fucking project your ideas and plan and do it.
Plan. Put into action.
Sike, pardon my French.
True, we cannot be in control of everything. But the things you can control, the things within your grasp, CONTROL IT.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR FUTURE.
You understand?
Yeah? Good.
P. S share this to help someone get over their fear of the unknown.

Jescil "CONTROL" Richard.
PPS this is not to invalidate GOD.
Thank you Jescil
This is honestly beautiful!
I'd grasp and control what I do now in preps for the future
