Decolonize yourselves
Mom's boyfriend: Why do you always have to question something and be against it like the government is after us or something?
Me: Why don't you question everything? You were never taught to question the world we live in. The government could be fucking you in the ass and you wouldn't even know

Liberation in the Identity Crisis
This system got us trapped, thinking about it, many of us… MANY OF US are stuck at the bottom. We’re mentally enslaved and chained and we don’t realize it.

America with the majority being...
Mind vs. Heart
Philosophers work with their minds. The mind only knows to question, and with every answer given, more questions arise. The mind knows to question everything. What is love? What is life?

The stories that you’ve told me are still stuck in my head but the stories I hear now are all lies instead. I hear your children left you out to suffer on your own, but...
I'm just bouta go off on this B
You know lately I’ve been down and shit. Not knowing why and shit. Like my passion for what I’ve been doing was lightweight fading for a little bit. It got to the point where it was scaring me cuz I knew I had to treat it fast before I get stuck in a hole not knowing how to get out. I don’t know what it was but I was just stuck in my own thoughts and shit. I didn’t wanna do...

Saudade
corngrowsripe:
Saudade (Portuguese): The feeling of longing for someone that you love and is lost. Another linguist describes it as a “vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist.” It’s interesting that saudade accommodates in one word the haunting desire for a lost love, or for an imaginary, impossible, never-to-be-experienced love. Whether the object...
