Raised by Albanians

[Objective]

I don't like any of this now. It's just wrong and not rooted in reality. Anger, frustration and feeling left out of a culture that you so strongly want to be a part of can turn to disdain. And that's what this was. Knowledge, however, has the ability to change minds

[dead man]

we all know that albanians can be some hard motherfuckers

this was kind of a wild ride through an adolescent world of crime he didn't understand, but became a piece of by design.

cavalry's rook for the two headed eagle,
black, red and a wholesome emotion for evil.

visceral image. the double headed eagle is a universal power symbol. black and red are in turn emotionally charged, powerful colors. i'd be interested in the context cause i'm unfamiliar.

had to look up "shqipe" to see where you were coming from. interesting for sure.

i know you were just in america for a decent amount of time. good to see you're seeing the world and obviously transcended the negative aspects of the culture you bloomed in. admirable and fascinating to see this side of you.

hope all is well.

thanks

I've grown up and matured. Some things are meant to be private, and there's a lot of misconceptions I didn't know before that I know now. I originally wrote this to understand myself and a part I've been told by others. After having spent time in Albania, met people and so on I'm ashamed by what I've written.

You have this ability to really get across imagery in a very resonate way, You not only paint pictures with words you totally fuck with the canvas...This was a emotional trip, Minus the acid...This was a great read bro.

Stay upwards, Sorry for the delayed feed.

This was good man. Your stuff is solid, but I feel you put more time and energy into explaining yourself afterwards than into the actual piece. I think you have a lot to offer just you need to get it across a little better. (I'm only nitpicking with you cuz you have tons of potential.) You obviously have a voice and are passionate... but let me FEEL it. Takes the reigns off of yourself. I want to see Objective Unchained. Bring it.

You're like a mini dead man junior... in training lol. That's a huge compliment. Keep it up.

i was pretty sweet on this albanian girl once. or she was kosovan idk. girl was a dancer. body was stupid.

this was sophomoric btw but writing with emotional content is a plus.

don't think, feel.

Advanced minds that profit from lethal salaries, crooks
with illegal weaponry shootin up woods, inviting me too,
cavalry's rook for the two headed eagle,
black, red and a wholesome emotion for evil.

Can you talk more about advanced minds? I'm terrible at math so my business chops are very limited. I liked the images invoked, maybe it's just when I hear a European country, my eyes light up because the history is so steep and the people live differently. Thanks for the read. This could be a stage where nostalgia and reflection are helping you repair old wounds or recover a distant frame of mind that still has some lesson to give.

I liked this piece and liked how you went out of your way to make the statement "I'm not hood just from a different reality" because to those of us that have lived a pampered lifestyle the things you're describing are just a staple in many cultures in different countries so it was cool to get that outside perspective in my eyes. Thought the piece itself wasn't super stylistic but it didn't need to be it got it's point across clearly and i enjoyed it a lot. Keep writing my dude

Appreciate everyone's honest feed! It has given me a lot to ponder and think about. Thanks!

Ye, idk if it's like what I'm about to tell other places around the globe but from what I've heard from people in Norway/Nordic region, and my father (as he's been meddling too), is that Albanians have a rep for being calm, smart and crazy but collected (not everyone, obviously, there's quite a few straight up stupid ones too). Due to this they're sometimes used to meddle in situations between gangs as a neutral third part. They're hard but only got recent historical issues with Serbs and that helps in terms of Pakistanis vs Turks, they're also white looking so accepted by most Russians/slavs and whites in general but not white enough to not be accepted as outsiders of society by people of color. I find it all weird and interesting. That said, when it comes to pure racism (white or black) I'm not accepted by anyone and have experienced that aspect too, lol.
