​  DEATH AND INSPIRATION
REST IN POWER TO MY AUNTIE AND   
🏁 NIPSEY 🏁
by: Shaluan Douglas

    Gratitude for an early rising and the inspiration throughout loss of lives this past month (meaningful ascensions). They both bothered me for different reasons, and so all month, my emotions have been overbearing. To cry is a release of energy that was much needed and I bid them both farewell as I hope they died empty. Let me explain. 
    Do you ever ponder what thoughts you’d have before you move on from this 3D physical plane? We are energy and energy never dies, right? I wonder if people get to the end and are full of regret, or if they say, "You know, that was one hell of a ride, 'twas fun!" Why does it always take death for family and friends to carry on with the notion of ‘making sure you tell your loved ones you love em’ or ‘life is too short’? Why does it take death for us to really appreciate life? 
    This was me brainstorming over all the questions that formed in my mind once I heard my Aunt passed. I really just want to know did she die empty with no regrets. A creative and talented soul with an infectious smile and laugh (one of a kind) to complement her being. Viewing her slideshow, you could see as a child the yearning for life was present as it is with each and every last one of us. Life continues on and eventually it takes a mental turn on our teenage/adulthood years changing our outlook on life. In abundance, life has its ups and downs, all in all, it's how we look at things that shape our reality. I hope you did the damn thing and risked it all Auntie!

    Nipsey. Wow! Assassinated and you were really just getting started. Assassination meaning to murder (a usually prominent person) by sudden or secret attack OFTEN for political reasons; to injure / destroy unexpectedly and treacherously. Ermias Joseph Asghedom was more than just a rapper, more like the epitome of HUSSLE AND MOTIVATE. All of his music, interviews, encouragement to the hood is more than enough for one man to have the impact he had. I don’t even wonder if he died empty. He was all about living life and staying focused on our purpose. Bless up to both souls!

The marathon continues! 🏁 🏁
