I'm Working...
On a novella. A form of release and discovery all wrapped into one. …and getting in touch with all the beautiful people that have taken a liking to this here tumblelog. Thanks for that. It’s just that there’s no time when you’re on the collegiate grind. Degrees over everything.
Soon enough, however. Soon, soon enough. I’m even scheduling time for it haha.

truthology:
I respect and value people so much more when you can hurt my feelings (seriously), or open my mind and my eyes just by simply telling me the damn truth. Tell me what I need to hear, even if I don’t want to hear it. The truth isn’t always attractive and it’s not supposed to be refined, or dressed…

Being told you weren’t good enough.
Never seeing a barbie that looked like you growing up.
Buying crayons and seeing flesh (therefore human) represented as a peachtone. Our skin usually represents dirt or grime.
Growing up with you hair pressed or braided, so you hardly even knew what the texture of it was.
Oh you’re pretty for a black being the best thing you will ever hear...

ohapoeticsoul:
Ever wonder why the people we (Americans specifically) adore the most are usually the ones with the least education, the worst backgrounds, and have the greatest lack of potential (by societal standards)? I was thinking about this long and hard when I realized these people never stopped chasing…
Where did this perspective go?! …my goodness.

Life happens quick.
The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done, the less time you have to plan what you can and will do. Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up the future. Understand the past, learn from the past, but do not let the past be the ball and chain that keeps you from success in the future.

monochromaticblack:
Everything in life can be either right or wrong, moral or immoral, justifiable or inexcusable based on a matter of perspective. Everything. But not a lot of people are willing to look above and beyond how they view others, or the world, or the way they think things should happen. Even most people…

Live Inspired.
Everyone is born with an innate potential for greatness. We are all a blank canvas, and, if influenced correctly, could change the world around us. As we age, however, we are impacted by millions of different influences, many of them defeated and tarnished, that diminish our chances at greatness.
Society tells us to grow up, get educated, get a job, pay bills, and die. In that order.
We, as...

An Elixir Full of Love...
To all of my new tumblefam.
I don’t normally do these, but I felt it was important to note how happy I am to know of your existence.
Just had surgery, so I’m moving a lil slow, but I will connect with each of you soon.
Beautiful people. :)

10 Ways to Love Others
Some guidelines for loving:
1. Tell them about their brilliance. They likely can’t see it and they don’t know its immensity, but you can see it, and you can illuminate it for them.
2. Be authentic, and give others the gift of the real you and a real relationship. Ask your real questions. Share your real beliefs. Go for your real dreams. Tell your truth.
3. Don’t confuse “authenticity” with sharing...

truthology:
We are always bullshitting. And talking in circles, tiptoeing around what is real. I don’t understand why we don’t know how to be real or expressive with our feelings anymore. Some jump through hula hoops, getting answers through other outside sources instead of going directly to the person(s)…

Change The Game.
If I was truly being honest with myself, at times I can be very insecure. My insecurity doesn’t stem from a place of not knowing who I am or what I’m worth, however. It comes from the fact that I am a person who values my smarts, my wisdom, and my experience over the sexuality that it seems is most important to the people around me at the moment.
Yes, I work out regularly and can pull off days...
