Introspective souls are often tormented by their passionate visions. This is because visionaries see what shall be and wake up to what is. However, if you couldn't see a glimpse of the city lights while stranded in the forest how would you ever know to walk in that direction? Sometimes your vision can't be written or spoken about unless you gather the learning experiences and stories along your journey first. ↗

The black groups that boycott certain films would do better to get the money together to make the films they want to see, or stay in church and leave us to our work. ↗
