Wow! John Legend Just Became The Youngest Person Ever And The First Black Man To Earn The Coveted EGOT

I was not having the best day

So I called my mom on Facebook messenger

Because I knew I wanted to see her

And she talked me up with filters

🖤🤟🏾🖤

My Imaginary Aesthetic

Float. Breathe. Balance. Float. Breathe. Balance. Float. Float. Float. Breathe. Still. 

I feel blue

I feel like a blue beam that emits bits of teal and cream

I feel like my source is hot pink

And it’s burns so bright that it appears white

I feel like my innards are exploding

so Over zealous with joyful energy that I can feel the protons and electrons dividing and multiplying

I can feel my muscles twitch and stretch warming up to a pinkish mauve and contorting into a lavender that drips with burnt blood

Blue

Blue

I am feeling blue

Deep deep oceans shades of shimmering mournful illustrious blue

I am feeling like a galaxy

Like a corner of a galaxy

Like the bend of the edge of a galaxy

Turning into the newest movement of the century

I am feeling

A revolution of feelings

I am feeling like something the English language cannot put into words

I am feeling endless and contained

Somersaults

Bommerangs

And aquamarine tangerines

I am feeling blue

But when I look in the mirror

I’m not feeling like anything other than...

My name

I see me

And I see what the world sees

And then I don’t feel like me anymore

Blue became a body

It became skin flesh and bones

Blue is

Not me

I am

Not blue

I am

....

I sat through a class today where the teacher said,

Discrimination happens. I’m not gonna sit and pretend it doesn’t. But also sometimes you have to decide personally when to speak up and when to ignore it because your here to do your job and you can sit and take the nonsense .

I disagree.

If there’s nonsense then it needs to be stopped.

If there’s discrimination of any kind to any degree, it needs to be acknowledged, addressed, and put to rest.

If you have to walk away from 100 jobs because they’d rather have someone who will sit and take it instead of your courageous and worthy work, then you have to walk away.

In walking away you turn tides.

No walking away you leave your imprint.

Who cares if you can take a punch and keep walking

You don’t have to.

You don’t have to let the next person take it.

If you walk away do it with an impact.

Make it known why you walked away.

Let other people know why you walked away.

If they didn’t correct themselves and try it again, that’s up to the next ones to work out.

But love yourself

God will provide

His will is for you to have the best.

You don’t need to push through if you don’t have to.

You’re a human

And if someone can’t see that, or won’t act like it

They don’t deserve you, your time, your energy, or your work.

Point blank period.
