In Retrospect

As any other day on my daily commute to work, I realized that I left my radio faceplate at home. Which is one thing I depend on as I drive; daily traffic reports, music to get me energized and the witty banter of the on air personalities. I haven’t done a quite drive like that in a long time. In reality it was actually something much needed, my mind just wondered thinking of any and everything thing that it could. My health was and is always on my mind as of late. Started reciting old rhymes that were recorded a while ago during the golden age of my hip hop life. Those thoughts lead me to one of the things I’ve never really thought about today. That one day I will no longer be known as “Crispy.” That eventually that will no longer be my nickname. No one will refer to me as that, it will just be Chris. This thought actually got to me. I didn’t know where to go from there. What will my legacy be? All the contributions and hard work…who will remember them or me? I can honestly say that this one of the thoughts that singlehandedly changed my whole mind state for the day.



Thoughts like this actually force you to put your entire life in to a different perspective. A perspective that you probably tried to push out of your head till you were older. Just think, eventually what you do now, will ultimately have others look at your life and conclude what kind of person you are.
