The Interesting Experience

On the last AM of my visit to Martha's Vineyard in the state of Massachusetts, in the US. I overslept because of events of the night before. I decided against my better judgment and by doing that I missed the sunrise. It was so important to me to make it to see the sunrise after I had felt a particular connection to the land that surround me. Firstly, I invited myself on this trip because it was the place where, The Inkwell was filmed. The Inkwell is a movie written by Trey Ellis, directed by Matty Rich, and filmed in the predominantly Black area of this beautiful island named Martha's Vineyard. I loved that the story a starred a Black cast, so with this opportunity, I felt I just had to set my feet on the land. Secondly, instead of isolating myself and managing my energy for the final night, I spent uninspired time with the person I was closest with on the trip. I interjected by inviting myself to this experience and ironically They interjected my thoughts and planted agony in my mood. And how I felt about this entire experience is written all over my face.

I decided to acknowledge what I was feeling and reflect aloud as I found my way through the treelined passage. I filmed myself because I knew I was willfully keeping myself in a toxic environment because of the loyalty and attachment I had to my Word. I needed to look back and see progress, and I knew that This acknowledgment was a step in the overcoming direction. And, I was ready to face it.
