take huh what can i learn from their perspective and add it into my own and it's just kind of like you know mixing it all together in a pot and then just letting it simmer and let it cook slowly and then out comes the poetry piece like the next poetry piece by clifton pope that's that's usually how it was for me whenever i'm doing poetry and even At the time when I was even doing music myself, because a lot of people don't notice, I myself used to try to do the rapping thing in my early to mid-20s, about 2010 to about, I want to say, 2013, 2014.

This was back when I was at Del Mar College, trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life and just... you know how it is when you're in your early to mid twenties, just trying to figure out life and you feel like you have it all figured out and then it just keeps hitting you in the face over and over and over again.

That's where all of that came from.

And I feel like The one thing when it comes to like, well, at least this is what I'm starting to realize now that I'm thinking about it with poetry, whether it's poetry, whether it's dance, whether it's music, whatever the case may be, there's just this flow state where it's like, You become one with the art of it, because at the end of the day, it's all art, regardless of how you look at it.

And we're at altitude, and it's August, and it's freezing [laughs] where we are And I'm opening my mail 'cause I had it in my, in my, in my rucksack, and I'm like, "Oh, okay, it's, you know, my, my turn to take a break, and I'm gonna sit in the bottom of this trench and read my mail." And there's this, uh, letter from, from home, which is the new home at the time, Mom and Dad in Corpus Christi, and they're like, "Hey, when you get out, uh, why don't you come back and, and finish school, and you can, you know, live at home.

We'll pay for your college." And there's brochures of these different colleges, Del Mar College and, at the time, Corpus Christi State which turned into A&M Corpus Christi.

And there's, there's palm trees, and there's girls in shorts-

And I had a few teachers who told me that I had a gift for writing and that I should try to follow that path.

When I was in college, I ended up going to Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, which is just a community college.

And they have a great journalism program still to this day.

And I was going, originally I was going to go to school or I was in college just to do nursing, right? So I was in pre-nursing type of classes and I needed an elective.

I just, you know, no one else in my immediate family, you know, was a writer or anything like that.

And they were quite surprised when I told them that that is what I wanted to do with my life.

But just all along the way, it was, you know, in the very beginning, it was one specific professor there at Del Mar College who just really kept encouraging me and told me that I should really stick with it and just like, oh, you need to take my other classes and you need to get more involved.

And so, you know, him just kind of sowing that seed, you know, and just really encouraging me and telling me, you know, that I could have a future doing this.
