That Black and Blue Hat

So every now and then I will be talking about this brilliant man named Eric Thomas, aka ETthehiphopPreache, mostly because this man helped me find ways to motivate myself. But this post is not about motivation it is about representing who you are and where you are from. Now ET is from Detroit and he always gets asked why you got that black and red hat on, and he says because thats where I'm from.

People always ask me why do I like the Royals or chiefs. I always joke around and say that someones got to support them, but that's not always it. I wear my royals hat because that's where I'm from and where most of my memories are. That black and blue hat reminds me of all the people I have met the last two years, it reminds me of a elaborate downtown where graffiti covers most buildings. That is where I fell in love with music and also lose a relationship at a concert too. Just this one hat holds reminders of where I grew up and who I am. Kansas City is not only the home of the royals, it's a home where my dreams started. Even though I may not like my hometown, I can't hid the fact that I am from there, I may not like the town and it might not like me, the town and the struggles I've had gives me the drive to be the first name to come from it. So even if you see a hat of a terrible sports team, it might mean something much more to that person wearing it.
