has to be this way you know? The best things are born of spontaneity. And I want all the best.

This speaks volumes on it’s own. Simply beautiful.

There are years that ask questions and years that answer.
It’s Sabbath and YHWH has almost forced me to sit back and chill..
I don’t mind tho, because strangely thats the hardest thing for me to do right now. I have an interview for my first real (meaning at least a bachelor’s degree is required) job on June 4, and I have no clue how I’m going to get the means to make it there. It’s in North Carolina, I’m in Alabama.
I need a summer jo-
And here I go trying to dissect and assemble things that are at the moment completely out of my control thus rendering every single thought dedicated to it pointless at best, futile even.
Sighs…Thank you Lord for today. For rest. For introspection. For chocolate hazelnut tea and air conditioning, and Kiva and Tooty (2 lovely dogs I’m babysitting), and my twin sister who made me chicken burritos with madd avocado and mozzarella cheese, and a good brother-in-law who doesn’t mind our sassiness, and white v-neck t-shirts, and second-day hair, and new curls from a new haircut, and Yourself. Thank you Lord for your ever-present, ever-patient, ever-smiling cuz you know I’m silly, Self.
Amen.
thats exactly how i’m feelin

She was a part of a “freak show”, and once the allure of that faded she was left to prostitution and drinking… And her death which found her a few years later. She was never an image for white women to admire, nor was she any sort of inspiration. She was a freak show artist that was manipulated for her physical appearance, the size of her genitalia. She is a prime example of the power and domination of bodies of color that exists, that has occurred, that threatens us all, the interest that surrounds our exoticism. Sarah Baartman’s treatment is not to be celebrated, at all, ever.Long before the Kardashians could get ass implants, the Hottentot images coming out of Southern Africa inspired European women in the 18th century to enhance their profiles with the available technology.
MIND. BLOWN.
I never thought this.

Stop taking everything so personally. Don’t waste your time worrying why somebody didn’t return your call or spoke gruffly to you. Even more crucial, do not— and I repeat, do not— bring the baggage of a bad moment with someone into your next meeting; if you command respect and good cheer in a room, others will follow.
