    UGH KEVIN!!!!!!! I don't understand how you are a real live person who can be so freaking talented and funny and nice and passionate and driven. It just doesn't make sense....This is SO gorgeous. I loved the dynamics through the whole thing and I am just so excited that you (well all of the members of PTX) are able to do your own thing, while also remaining dedicated to PTX. Y'all are so inspirational and I will support you guys in everything you do for as long as you decide you want to do it. Congrats on your Grammy and I can't wait for #Renegade

    Kevin, I'm so sorry for the loss of your good friend Gavi.. I was. Devastated by it and can't imagine what you have been going through and trying to put on a smile to be able to perform last night at the AMA'S.. You guys were fabulous doing your Star Wars cover! I've been crying since Saturday night and I can only imagine what you are feeling.. I want to share with you my favorite canon/poem which you may have already read but I want to give you a gift to hopefully help ease the pain.. #WEAREGAVI #FOREVERGAVI #RIPGAVI
    In the Next Room
    Death is nothing at all:
    I have only slipped away into the next room.
    I am I and you are you;
    Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
    Call me by my old familiar name.
    Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
    Put no difference in your tone:
    Wear no forced air or solemnity or sorrow.
    Laugh as we always laughed at the
    little jokes we enjoyed together.
    Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
    Why should I be out of mind
    because I am out of sight?
    I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
    somewhere very near,
    Just around the corner. All is well.
    -Canon Henry Scott Holland

      I mean I'm happy that he is happy with his choice but we can always use more black doctors that's for sure.

For example sickle cell or skin related diseases seeing as we have very few black dermatologist. The arts are extremely important no question but if i have to choose i'm putting more black people in medicine.

Its not like he made a wrong choice because chose what he wanted for his life and there is a dingle thing wrong with that. I was only saying i'd love more black doctors especially in a field of medicine that tend to overlook black people. Basically if he came to me and said he loves music and medicine equally which one should he choose personally I would say doctor. That's all. Clearly I wish him the best in any positive choice he has made for his life.
