Vibrational Intelligence (VQ)

I call it having a high VQ. I used to mistake it for being grown, but there are a lot of "grown" folks out here who ain't on the same wave. There are a lot of "grown" folks who futilely try, again and again, to essentially fit a square peg into a round hole, not quite understanding that some things don't work because they were never meant to; not because you weren't trying hard enough. Not because you should have done something differently - that is, unless the "differently" is taking your ass on up the road.

Once upon a time, I was "grown" too LOL. But that vibration hit different when it matches yours.

Damn. [RIP Nipsey Hussle]

This one made me genuinely sad. I don't know a ton about his music but I'm familiar with his history, his transformation and his community investments. It's hard to imagine anyone wanting to dim this light, although not even 24 hours later, speculation runs rampant as to why his life was lost. Whether it was the result of an effort to prevent him from putting out the Dr. Sebi documentary he was working on, or just some jealous, hating ass niggas from the hood, we lost a real one. Love and healing vibes out to @LaurenLondon and everyone else who knew and loved him.
