I listened to Lauryn Hill's unplugged album again today, am still listening to it now. This world hates truth doesn't it? I have never heard a more honest album, have never been asked to look at so much truth. It helps me to see my own life, to see my own dishonesty, all the dishonesty around me, in all of us. Of course the critics didn't like this album, how could they handle it? She doesn't care what they say, what they'll ever say. She's not singing to entertain, she's singing to proclaim. And oh the honesty I need in my life, every part of my life. We all do, and there are consequences for it. Look at what Jhames has had to do, because he put too much truth out there. People can't handle it, but they need it, I need it, all the honesty I can dig out of myself. If i become so honest, my world will have to change; it needs to change, and though that change frightens me, I have to face it, to know that this change will invigorate and further me, will force growth into me. That is the sun that's finally showing through after such a long winter.
