A Lonely Night in Mexico Thinking About Big Sean and Avicii

...And start-up agian. Umm, I think it′ll be an experience for you that, you'll never forget. Probably, with your life changing, I think it′s going to be very hard on your body. I think you're gonna be, umm, shocked at how difficult it is. But I applaud you for trying it, I'm really excited for you. And I [?] so nobody gets hurt. So just be safe. And I love you

It′s hard to explain what I got the vision forIt′s almost like I'm tryna sing a hidden note

And I can′t even get it out though it's it my throat

I get so frustrated, I feel like a misanthrope

I start feeling like my whole life isn′t dope

And I've ruined everything with what I didn′t know

And some shit my father told, it starts hitting home

What the fuck am I here livin' for?

I miss my friends, we don't talk as much as we used to

I′m too busy checking on YouTube, and scrolling on IG

I tend to get glued to various distractions as my life floats by

Have I just been checked out the whole time?

I spend 85% of it online

And for the things that really matter I got no time (No time)

But wait, if I can get myself out of this broke mood

Then maybe all my listeners could have hope too

Yeah, that′s what I'm gon′ do

I become who I am from all the shit I go through

Keep walkin'

If I could write my name across the sky for all to see

Then I would, if I could bring myself to understand what you are, then I would

And I would, if I could, if I could, then I would

And I would, if I could, if I could, then I would

And I would, if I could, if I could, then I would

And I would, if I could, if I could, then I would, and I would

I′ma butterfly flyin' through a broken sky

God servin′ me truth, and I'm open wide

And it takes courage to be still and go inside

I'm on a tip of liberation, watch me toe the line

When a yoga pose hits a yoga pose

A part of me that I really hate showin′ shows

You get a taste from my post of quotes

But my inner growth is something no one knows

And I hope it shows

In my eyes, in my music, in my vibe, in my kindness

And in my stride, in the grand art piece that is my life

And again, this is just a brush stroke

You′ve been running long enough, child, come home

Break it down, universe means one song

You wanna taste life, swim into the unknown

I know that I did my best

I'm not designed to eat, sleep, sit, and text

But thirty-first year is a vision quest

I know the answer I′m lookin' for isn′t sex

And it isn't money, isn′t fame

It's something much deeper than I can't explain

And this verse is just a finger pointin′ towards the trail

Soon you gonna have to walk it for yourself

Keep walkin′

If I could write my name across the sky for all to see

Then I would, if I could bring myself to understand what you are, then I would

And I would, if I could, if I could, then I would

And I would, if I could, if I could, then I would

And I would, if I could, if I could, then I would

And I would, if I could, if I could, then I would, and I would

If you could give a wish to future Mike when he sets off to his walk in a few months, what would that be?

I wish you remember this is what you wanted. This is, this is what you wanted. I understand intellectually there gonna be terrible moments on this journey, where I'll wanna give up, where my body hurts, where I′m thinking "Why the heck did I choose to do this? This was so stupid." And the reason you chose to do it, was to feel what you're feeling right now, and decide to keep going
