‘When I say black lives matter, I’m not saying white lives don’t, I’m just saying that this is a group of people that has been systematically repressed for generations so it’s necessary to shed light on it to undo those wounds. Some people think that it’s trying to exclude white people, but that’s not the point. The point is to uplift voices that have been silenced and that’s a problem in the way we’re treating race.’ Amandla Stenberg

I’m attracted to the extreme light and the extreme dark. I’m interested in the human condition and what makes people tick. I’m interested in the things people try to hide.
u kno what i love. growing up and realizing all the white people i thought were unattainably beautiful are not actually beautiful or even good looking. they are just white.
the type of people the world gives you -
light:
- glows when they talk, dewy eyes, radiates with a blessing from the sun, calm in the air and goodness in their hearts
ocean:
- bodies full of stories, a will that ebbs and flows, lazy smiles, no real devotion to anything but existence itself, wordless lullabies
earth:
- minds like caverns, hands like stone, to hold or to hurt, heavy irises, earthquake tempers, stubborn desire for constant reconstruction
poison:
- an inexplicable sense of sharpness, hot tears, decaying cores, irreversible tornadoes and infectious whispers
You will meet many types of people in your life. You will meet delicate flowers, raging oceans, quiet forests, towering mountains, and colourful skies. You will meet thunderstorms, you will meet lightning. They will knock you down, they will leave you breathless. You will meet sunrises, you will meet gardens. They will give you light, they will take you on adventures. Explore them. Get lost with them. They all have something to teach you.
‘What are you afraid of?’
A question that is often asked as a light question.
People expect an answer like snakes or heights, something simple, something unimportant actually. But the truth is I’m not afraid of spiders and I have absolutely no problem taking the elevator.I’m afraid of time, how everything goes by way too soon, how I might run out of time before I even start living.
I’m afraid of making mistakes, being at the wrong place at the wrong time and completely messing up my happiness.
I’m afraid of choosing the wrong person to build a life with, not knowing what love really is, not knowing there is more.
But those are subjects far too heavy for small-talk and I’ll just get weird looks from the people who asked me. So I’ll be polite, I’ll say I’m afraid of sharks, ducks, or big dogs.
But our real fears, are those unspoken.
