Black lives still matter, whether you reconstruct streets, remove words, try to change history and more. They still matter and will ALWAYS matter.

Who's your cover star?

"The quest to find the sun is like chasing a whisper in the dawn, A flicker of gold dancing just beyond reach, forever withdrawn. It symbolizes the soul’s eternal need, a yearning that persists, Echoing through the corridors of time, in shadows it insists. But perhaps the awakening is not in seizing the blazing sphere, Nor in external flames that flicker distant, insubstantial, unclear. The true discovery lies in the gentle artfulness of pursuit—An ongoing co-creation with light, in silent, resolute truth. For light, real and enduring, is born within the mind’s internal space, A reflection of the truths we hold, the shadows we embrace. The brightest fires are kindled not in distant skies’ expanse, But in the quiet chambers of the heart, where consciousness dances. The journey inward reveals that seeking outward is a mirage’s art—A distraction from the illumination that resides in the heart. In understanding that the flame is not outside, but part of the self’s core, We transcend the horizon’s limits, awakening forevermore. So let the pursuit be one of inner truth, deep and profound, Where light is not chased but awakened, in silence unbound. For in the depths of the soul, where true illumination starts, The dawn of understanding burns brighter than distant stars’ parts."
