It's The Beginning Of Forever

Recently, a Kanye interview from like 2003 or something was making its rounds around the internet. It was awesome. Everything about it was so awesome; what he was wearing, his honesty, just the way he was answering the questions. There were some quotes from there that ended up on the end of "Last Call."

And the reception was awesome. People were saying how he was just brutally honest, funny, outgoing. Much more willing to answer questions back then compared to how he is now.

What stuck out to me, however, was the amount of people saying "man, the guy hasn't changed one bit since then. Same guy since day one."

While that might sound awesome, that it looks like he's stuck to his guns, morals, and ideals, I'm not so sure that that's what Kanye was aiming for. I know it isn't what I would want to hear if I were him.

What I would want people to say is, "Wow, it's so interesting to see that there are some similarities between what he was like back then and what he's like now. The honesty, the smart answers, the comedy, it's all there. But you can still see that he's changed, that he's grown. He's not exactly like he was back then. He might have some similarities, but he's obviously learned from his experiences and used those experiences to change and grow."

That's what I want people to say about me when they see anything from my past, whether it be pictures, video, or even my blog posts. I want people to see some things and shake their heads. I want them to see other things and say, "Wow, you had that quality from an early age and you've worked so hard at what you do."

I really hope no one can look at me and say that I haven't changed one bit. I want them to say, "Wow, you really changed, but in a good way."
