I sit before flowers
hoping they will train me in the art
of opening up

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master…

Most people will only remember the promise of death when it allows itself to be seen. Some of us see through the veil, having no fear of it because we accept it as fact, we move past it onto a larger picture of what we should actually fear. Living. Caged in a body that fails us, or a body with a mind that has wandered away. Death becomes a promise you wish be kept. Death shows mercy, death shows pity. Death is the destination of your limitless or limited journey.

4) Just because he says you’re perfect, doesn’t mean he likes you.

You need to understand that truth;

“There’s still ample time to get serious,

We’re the youth

And I’m not wasting a day tied down to girls who eventually want rings”;

And he’s not ready for “this commitment thing”.

where love comes, but never stays: Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happinessAir brushed, with weave,...

sassycalypso:

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
Air brushed, with weave, fleeing from nappiness
LIttle brown skinned girls
With dark brown curls
Feeling not right
Cause they’re not white
Eyes like almonds, wide and brown
Full lips, full nose, on our side of town
Our side of town, not just…

But as James Baldwin once said, “the paradox of education is precisely this — that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.” Students of color have to be walking paradoxes at “elite” universities. And the degrees conferred upon us become symbols not just of our academic attainment, but of our ability to survive and carve out our place in institutions that never envisioned us as a part of them.

Our hearts beat so loud the neighbours think we’re fucking
when I’m just trying to find the nerve to touch your face.
