Musings x 4/23/2014

lost all the pictures on my phone... feels like a new start
I've been smiling a lot more lately
please don't shoot me down,
kill my vibe
or any other variation of attempting to break my spirit.

the foreign exchange - May 2, The Howard Theatre
just want to watch 'Honey I Shrunk the Kids' and relive my childhood

 all tie dye everything
set a strong foundation

...looking forward to it
when men refer to their significant other as their 'rib' >

doubt your doubts until they no longer exist
reciprocation is a rare, beautiful bird.
my mindset is evolving... shifting

realized that I have found something that scares me... reminded me that I am alive

the alchemist

If I can't have you the way I want you, I don't want you
thrive baby.
all we have is right now
new shipment is in!
my love for peaches is too real
"appear as you may wish to be" - Machiavelli
love to see loved ones progressing
positivity wins.
al(l)ways
 



Look Up

There's beauty there.

Early Morning Discussion: What Does Love Feel Like?

A close friend of mine broke the ice in our group chat this morning with a simple, albeit completely random, question that sparked a dialogue that stretched well into the workday. The almost childlike innocence of it was so sweet and unexpected. She asked, "What does love feel like?" The question was coming from a genuine place of wanting to know what it felt like to be in love... a feeling that she herself wasn't sure if she ever experienced. Although this isn't normally something that can easily be put into words, the responses started pouring in - each beautifully different from the other. It was endearing to read some of the responses. It was also eye-opening to see what response the question triggered from myself. Read some of the responses below, followed by my answer.

Yeah, it's like that.

 

Pink and Purple Sunsets

The view from the restaurant where I had my birthday dinner was absolutely beautiful. As I captured this photo I couldn't help but to imagine how breathtaking it would be to witness the sunset while atop of the ferris wheel in the distance. I'm adding this to my bucket list for the summer.



love is so crazy/ beautiful

"the truth remains under the bridge of lies it takes a lifetime to construct.."

- a note from my journal that dates back to high school, but still proves relevant. There are times that I feel I knew so much more about life and what it truly meant to live when I was younger... before the textbooks and media began to cloud the mind.

 

It is up to us to unlearn and reeducate ourselves. Question everything... research, and seek out the answers for ourselves. Don't become a slave to the machine.

Just so you know...

I Stand Alone x Robert Glasper x Common

The interlude at the end, greater than.

 

"The irresistible appeal of Black individuality - where has all of that gone?"

"The trends of the times be damned...

 

"We should all be unsatisfied with mimicking the popular, rather than mining the fertile veins of creativity that God placed deep inside each of us."
