“We waste so many days waiting for weekend. So many nights wanting morning. Our lust for future comfort is the biggest thief of life.”

I havent seen my best friend in a year, due to America holding her hostage. Last night, we met up & laughed with all of our teeth! Like no time was between us, like we’d always been in that exact spot.. our energies are in sync. She is I & I am her.
Your aunt Sharice used bleaching cream.
Your mother explained what that was by saying
It’s when you set fire to yourself
so others will compliment the light
of your burning.

Real men don’t talk about their sexual conquests or call a woman out of her name. My father once told me “No matter if a woman is sinner or a saint when you lay with her you become her equal. So no matter what you feel about them, it’s also a reflection of yourself.
I have FINALLY named my guitar! ’ Cali’ for Corinne, Amy, Lauryn & India - all the ladies who inspired me to pick up a guitar x

He says “You are amazing & enough.” And it sticks
Hmm. I could cry, but thats the easy option; so instead I choose to put on a brave face & smile :)
Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame, where there is a flame someone’s bound to get burned, but just because it burns doesn’t mean you’re gonna die, you gotta get up & try, try, try.

“A real life doesn’t mean getting what you want; the achievement, the priviledge, too, is knowing what you love. But getting what you love? Having what you love love you back? Oh, my friend, its a miracle: your one tiny life’s head-on collision with divinity.”

Last night I met a girl with the most mesmerizing braids ever; I called her Braida. She had some good clothes too..

You Took Your Time (feat. King Krule)
Mount Kimbie
Song of the day: Mount Kimbie - You Took Your Time (feat. King Krule)
Mount Kimbie serve up a contorted sub-genre of electronic music that’s not afraid to dabble in influences from a plethora of genres to create it’s subtle downtempo aesthetic and ”You Took Your Time” perfectly represents the apex of what the London-based duo are trying to achieve with their sophomore album “Cold Fault Less Youth”.
King Krule’s blunt metaphoric-littered vocal alternates between raspy growls and an off-kilter flow that cuts mesmerisingly in between the punchy hip-hop inflected beat. His poetic panache alone is enough to keep your ears on tenterhooks.
Heavy heart. Need to write..
Today I showed myself just how brave I am. It was a beautiful realisation
