| 7 | "Me? A wild card? It’s gotta be destiny, because I was definitely a wild child. I grew up in a beautiful but sometimes violent place. But lucky for me, I got out because of my passion. A generational talent. I had sponsorship deals, sneakers, even a record or two. Despite all that fame and recognition, my trauma was keeping up with me and I couldn’t quiet the monster inside. I was self destructive during the peak of my career. I couldn’t figure out why I was always unhappy and defensive. So I took a giant step and asked for help. I learned the tools to tame the rage through meditation and positive energy. Never let your circumstances determine your fate. Sometimes, all you need is a change in perspective and persona to let your inner cuddle monster sing." |
