A list of things that should no longer be explained in 2019 because y'all have had ample opportunity to Google or listen:

The Black Lives Matter movement 

Representation matters 

Colin Kaepernick wasn’t protesting the anthem 

The validity of different sexual orientations

Non-black people can’t say the N-word

Feminism isn’t about hating men

Pro-black/ celebrating your heritage isn’t anti-white

Blackface isn’t okay

Minimum wage should be raised

Who’s considered a millennial

Feel free to add on

Ok that’s actually disgusting, here’s a link to their gofundme

Galaxies sparkle

They dance and shimmer

Slide and skate

Stars beam across worlds

Sharing their light

Their energy

Moving constantly

Somersaulting through voids of space

Like a child

Like a breeze

Like water

But it’s light

Energy

Felt but not seen

Corrupting darkness

Emulating

Illuminating

Exuding

Preciousness

The fragility and strength of that energy

Can build and destroy

Light that gives warmth to dust

Dust under pressure form rocks

Through manipulation

Intricate timing

And chance

Galaxies bear the the constant pleasure and pain of life.

In honor of 19-year-old Simone Biles being named Woman Of The Year by ESPN. 

She won a record four gold medals at the Olympics. She’s untouchable!

Congratulations!

Love is another form of addication

The first time you get high its the wildest thing in the world

You’ve never experienced anything like it

Then you keep up with it because it was so much fun.

But you will never have the same experience from that first high.

You will constantly chase that first high and it will never come

You fall in love and everything is wonderful

But then something goes wrong and you don’t want to be here anymore

You don’t want to do this

This relationship isn’t for you

But you remember all the good times and you think you can recreate them

Give it another spark

You had so much fun together, you could totally have more!

But it’s not the same

Your not as in love as you were

You’ve seen too much

You’ve heard too much

You’ve felt way more then you wanted to.

These days together aren’t like the ones in the beginning

Those memories keep you going longer then they should.
