Being spontaneous can leave more room for mistakes and also laughter .. in a hermetically sealed to-do list / course of action, there is not much room for either. Mistakes and laughter are where life lives!

you stay soft and get eaten , only natural to harden up

back in high school I knew dis yt girl named Harmony, she had dyed hair and a septum piercing, me n her connected on the premise of art, she was also one of the few that wasn’t racist towards me,,, but I digress, I remember askin her one time what she wanted to do/be in future n she said: I wanna travel. I remember feeling so flabbergasted like wtf do u mean travel? I was like how? With what money? And she told me she didn’t give a fuck if she had to work at McDonald’s, she would do whatever just to travel. Atp, we was teenagers n she had alrdy been on a family trip to Thailand and was on a whole thing abt Asia n jus seeing the world. My African mind couldn’t comprehend it, I swr. I didn’t understand how she didn’t wanna be a doctor, lawyer, ceo or any of the other professions I grew up aspiring towards. Now, as I’ve grown n unlearnt plenty, I think of her ever so often whenever I realize just how much I wanna travel n nothing else, moving with the wind gives me purpose, it makes me feel alive n I’m super super grateful to alrdy be able to do so, I’m grateful to be a child of these circumstances, of parents who wanted to see the world n weren’t scared of it

Fight the discourse of urgency

my ancestors keep reminding me: carry the spirit of a warrior, but a heart light enough to be weighed against a feather

Sometimes you just need to aggressively twerk in your room n leave the rest to God
