I believe that inside every person there in lies a special gift. A gift that God has blessed each person to have. Whether or not that gift is alive within you or lying dormant inside, anxiously awaiting its birth, it is up to you to discover your special gift and to use it. I believe that you, Corey, have discovered your special gift. Your ability to translate your thoughts from the cerebral and then to transform those very thoughts by giving them lyrical life astounds me each time you create a verse. It is your point of view in which you offer that makes you quite unique. I love that you, at times, come across as awkward, as I, too, come across as gauche at times. So, it should come as no surprise to you that eccentric people are often misunderstood by the masses; however, the way in which you see the world is not a fallacy. Just understand that your opinions are just that "your opinions," for it is more advantageous to be understood by others than for others to agree with your worldview.
Son, hold firm to your convictions and your beliefs, but not too firm in that you become unwilling to rationalize and to think logically. Corey, please understand that the gift that you have been entrusted with comes with great responsibility. Therefore, I encourage you to think responsibly, to write responsibly, and most importantly, to act responsibly.
May your gifts open doors for you that NO man can close.
Love always,
Mom
