Niggas will literally beg for your time, then waste it.

Here’s to 2018 being better than 2017. Here’s to doing our part to make it that way. Here’s to kindness but also confidence. Here’s to doing what you want when you want to do it, other’s opinions be damned, but also making sure other’s feelings aren’t. Here’s to taking steps to cope with our issues even if we know we can never erase them. Here’s to helping each other, to being unapologetically ourselves, to fighting for the good things whenever we can.

…you don’t have to wait for someone to treat you bad repeatedly. All it takes is once, and if they get away with it that once, if they know they can treat you like that, then it sets the pattern for the future.
