When did my face look like this

How did I get to my 20s

When did I grow up

How much more growing do I have left?

When will I notice next

What I will notice next

I miss the First Family [x]

I use to hate myself Till I met myself I’m still getting to know myself But I’m falling in love 💕 This has been the year of awakening The year of truth and honesty 🌞 I’ve developed a small obsession with myself. I have become very curious of the body I posses. I take a billion selfies because I like to explore the trillions of different angles that I use to hate. I don’t shave because I want to understand and embrace my natural body I don’t wear bras because I want to embrace my natural being and understand my bodies natural self. I don’t wear make up most days because I want to embrace and understand my natural face. 💕 I use to hate me because I wasn’t happy with how other people saw me. I use to hate me because I tried to live freely but I couldn’t because freedom comes with a love that I truly did not understand. 🌞 If God is Love And love is love is love Then I must know the God in me to share my God with you I must love myself to love someone else I must be love to share love I must know love to be love I must know love to share love If love is love is love To be loved is to love To love, you must know what Love is If love is love and God is love Then I Love the God that Loved me I love the God that loves I love the Love that told me it was okay to love I love the love that said “hey buddy you don’t need someone to make you smile , you got me, God, Me, Love, You got me here inside you. Just look and see.” 🖤 I’m looking I’m seeing I dig

“Dark skinned and I’m stuck up (yup)”  

Fierce and Flawless ✌🏾

Guess at this rate, many people are going to move out of the US

A Ramble

jay z and Beyoncé confession tapes .. how they went

Should we change the world

Or

Should we separate and be happy

Should we talk about how jay z manipulated the fuck out of Beyoncé’s career

And how Beyoncé had to suffer because he was right

he treated her like shit but so did her parents and everyone who manipulated her molded her To be Beyoncé

And now Beyoncé is fucking Beyoncé

She has to be Beyoncé

For everyone else

Jay z can’t kill his ego

His ego helped him get what he wanted

He can admit his wrongs

He can grow

But he can’t not be jay z

Jay z is leaving a legacy

The carters are putting roots in America

They are helping to build black America

They know what effect they have

They know what good they can do

They can be people

But these people

Are Beyoncé and Jay Z

And Beyoncé and Jay Z

are people who can change the world

People who can leave ripples

People who’s ripples are starting to make waves

Beyoncé and Jay Z

Have to be Beyoncé and Jay Z

I think they are fulfilling their purpose in life by starting the new mold for black America

They are the beginning of the era

Look at the waves they already made

Lemonade and 4:44

All about acknowledging the pain and expressing that we’re people

It hurts

We hurt

We have feelings

Those feelings are valid

But then we have a choice

What do we do with those feelings ?

Do we get revenge

Do we seek help

Do we suppress and forget

Or do we accept

Do we forgive

Do we choose to try again

What can we do differently with our situation

Well we can use ourselves

Said Beyoncé and Jay Z

And be the people we needed to see

We should break the cycle

We should be real

We should set an example

We should be a strong black family

They said

We should be better

The obamas took office

And the carters prepared to take over

The elections are over

The first family of black America

The Carters

They started a wave.

Beyoncé made being a black women

Iconic

She had people shook when she reminded them she was black

Jay z is out here trying to remold the black man

He told us it was cool to be a real man

A dad

A role model for your family

Your community

Be the strong manly figure your dad tried to make you

Men are also victims of the patriarchy

And Jay z is trying to change that

He has Chris rock

Anthony

Will Smith

All out here trying to own up

To acknowledge their wrongs

And talk about the future

How to have black economies

How to have black joy

How to have a black family

How to love

How to love yourself

Love your blackness

Love love love love love love love love love love love

Black America

It’s coming

It’s basically here

Just follow the leader

Follow our leaders

They were people too

They are people too

We can be a happy thriving community

In the country we were produced in

If we’re here

Let’s take root

Let’s be here

“This, too, I carefully explored: Even though the actions of godly and wise people are in God’s hands, no one knows whether God will show them favor. The same destiny ultimately awaits everyone, whether righteous or wicked, good or bad, ceremonially clean or unclean, religious or irreligious. Good people receive the same treatment as sinners, and people who make promises to God are treated like people who don’t. It seems so wrong that everyone under the sun suffers the same fate. Already twisted by evil, people choose their own mad course, for they have no hope. There is nothing ahead but death anyway. There is hope only for the living. As they say, “It’s better to be a live dog than a dead lion!” The living at least know they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, nor are they remembered. Whatever they did in their lifetime—loving, hating, envying—is all long gone. They no longer play a part in anything here on earth. So go ahead. Eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this! Wear fine clothes, with a splash of cologne! Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun. The wife God gives you is your reward for all your earthly toil. Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time. People can never predict when hard times might come. Like fish in a net or birds in a trap, people are caught by sudden tragedy.”

Ecclesiastes 9 NLT

For all the colored girls ...

Rest peacefully, Shange…. 🥀
