#Jhené aiko trip movie
Through out these travels I’ve been keeping a record of my dreams, feelings and experiences in notebooks.Ī Movie ( TRIP - a short film), an Album ( TRIP) and a Poetry book ( 2fish) Trips in solitude in hopes that the quiet will bring me and my brother back together. The presence of my daughter, my siblings, my parents… only make his absence more apparent.Īnd so, I find myself taking trips, trying to escape any person, place or thing that is too familiar. I distract myself with work, which causes stress I wish he were here to help me with. I distract myself with work, which buys me things I wish I could share with him. I try to get closer to my brother by doing different drugs, hoping that if I get high enough I can reach him, but they only take me further away. I try to find my brother’s love in other men, but they never can compare. I released 2 projects since then, but I wasn’t quite myself. I turn to writing as my form of therapy, but it’s never quite enough. Trying to find my way back to my self… back to Penny. Since that day I have been lost trying to find him… In his presence I was confident and always so sure. I never thought of him as a separate person, but an extension of myself. On July 19th 2012, I lost my brother Miyagi to an inoperable brain tumor. Penny is me in my purest, most authentic form. When I was born, my Grampy gave me the nickname “Penny”.
