2. undertaking in spite of counterinfluences (intransitive verb)

A panorama taken by Navcams aboard Nasa's Perseverance Mars rover shows the Martian landscape.

Fun fact: as I search the word perserverance, I find a rover that was taken to Mars February 18, 2021. Sanjeev Gupta, an Indian-origin British geologist literally had to control and navigate the rover from home due to the plandemic. Now if this is not Perseverance, what else might we call it? Dedication? Triumph? To recognize and complete missions in spite of counterinfluences is perseverance and I highly encourage all to embody.

I need you to persevere.

I need you to experience pressure so that you'll recognize softness and appreciate luxury.

I need you to climb those heights for better views.

I need you to believe in yourself.

I need you to believe in your brother.

I need you to have faith in your sister.

The electrical charge within brings endearing light to lost lives.

Do not limit or constrict.

Shock the world.

Feel yourself, fill with shockingly bright lights.

Free yourself and find yourself amongst the stars.

Lose yourself then find yourself within your art.

BLUNT, like many other projects has suffered it's fair share of hardship during the creation process. At any point, we could have chosen to give up. At any point, we could have decided to go a route more mainstream i.e Youtube, TikTok, or even Twitter. Not to bash those who use those platforms but intuitively, that was not where Blunt belonged. Blunt is a unique social platform that requires space and direct attention. In other words, you specifically had to come here, to receive Blunt content.

It's bold of me to think someone would download my art. Who would even read all of these posts? My exact thoughts, as I continued typing another post. Today's truth is that, as I write this I am battling my internal struggles. My health, finances, even my relationship life is not as simple as what it once was.

They never tell us about our early twenties being a state of reindentification. What mattered before seems to matter less, what matters now only matters because we are literally trying to secure our futures which giving the past few years, we see changes in an instant. It's not easy. And with the spirit many of us carry, we're constantly searching for what can fulfill our needs without having to conform to yet, another system that belittles our creative minds. It's not easy. Finding yourself requires tests of strength, endurance, paitence, and persistence. Creating art from what you've found within is another skill to be developed over time and experience. So we owe it to ourselves to keep going. We deserve to see it through.

Our evolution awaits.

Keep going..

Have you ever grinded up some green and laid it ever so neatly in your sheet... then knock it over by the slightest movements.. and still decide to roll up after that? Perseverance.

She blocked you, you emailed her. Some call it crazy, I call it perseverance.

I mean have you heard Through The Fire by Chaka Khan? What about Through The Wire Kanye? These are real life songs dedicated to creator's experiences with struggles that didn't stop them from achieving their dreams. Tune in. Channel that energy. Become inspired by anothers art. Become inspired by the story.

You are thriving in school after 2020, PERSEVERANCE. You created and launched a brand during a global plandemic, PERSEVERANCE. You still growing with the same person from when yall were down bad, PERSEVERANCE. These things shouldn't be overlooked, we should encourage those around us, especially when we don't have in it us to face their situations. Listening to music that carries uplifting messages is proven to assists in progressive motion. I smell a playlist in the making...

This just motivated me to make breakfast AND a smoothie, grand rising REAL ONES!
