Whether it’s fatherhood — he and Kim Kardashian West welcomed their third child via surrogate in January 2018 — or Kendrick Lamar out there winning a Pulitzer Prize for music, Kanye is a new man.
He’s ditched his insecure egotism — you know, the kind that makes you publicly embarrass Taylor Swift to protest the VMAs for not giving Beyonce the Best Female Video Moonman — and tapped into some hard-won inner peace. Kanye West would like the internet to know that we can all be Pablo.
After getting a personal welcome back from Twitter founder @jack on April 13, Kanye has taken up a campaign of championing creativity without boundaries:

when you first wake up don’t hop right on the phone or the internet or even speak to anyone for even up to an hour if possible. Just be still and enjoy your own imagination. It’s better than any movie.

He’s also dropping some practical life advice to help you reach this new plane of existence he’s discovered.
Be here now. Be in the moment. The now is the greatest moment of our lives and it just keeps getting better. The bad parts the boring parts the parts with high anxiety. Embrace every moment for its greatness. This is life. This is the greatest movie we will ever see.

You have the best ideas. Other people’s opinions are usually more distractive than informative. Follow your own vision. base your actions on love. Do things you love and if you don’t absolutely love something stop doing it as soon as you can.

On April 18, Kanye revealed that what he’s actually doing is writing a book in real time, which should mean these ideas will get a little more down to Earth. Or maybe not! Why mess with success, right?
YOUR NEW TWEETS ARE BETTER THAN YOUR LAST ALBUM..
