QOTD

“In my opinion, the young generation of whites, blacks, browns, whatever else there is, you’re living at a time of extremism, a time of revolution, a time when there has got to be a change. People in power have misused it, and now there has to be change and a better world has to be built, and the only way it is going to built is with extreme methods. And I for one, will join in with anyone, I don’t care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this earth. Thank you.”

— Malcolm X

I want to paint

I've been wanting to paint for a while now. I'm not really sure why. But I have this overwhelming urge to just be creative. I'm no artist. But I do enjoy doodling (while I'm bored in class. lol).

I've come up with an idea to incorporate drawings and doodles into my poetry. I feel like it would be really fun to do.

My mind is everywhere. I'm getting excited for school to end and my life to start. So this is yet another reason for me to be excited for summer! =)


Until then, I'm gonna be glued to MS Paint. lol. And maybe some color pencils.



*this documentary I watched about Jean Michel Basquiat for sure is not helping my urges. lol

Hair Post

I wore my hair out at school today. I've never gone to class or work with my hair just...out. It's usually in a french braid, twist, or a small puff. Never just out. Technically it is in a puff, but it's a big one. I added the flat twist in front because i couldn't go all out and just wear an afro. I also had to pin some hair up because the ends are straight and it looked weird. All in all, although I felt like some people were staring, I felt really good with this style. I felt confident and I really thought I looked cute with it. lol








the earrings:




**I can't wait for my hair to get bigger!!!

Zoya "Ivanka"


*This is a very lovely color. I thought it was much darker than it is, which is why I've kind of stayed away from it (I'm not too into dark colors). It's actually brighter than it shows up in the picture.

**also, sorry about the pic. I messed up the mani before I could snap pics and didnt want to redo it. So I chose not to do a close-up. lol

I Got My Cap and Gown Today

I'm so stoked. Graduation is getting closer, and I'm slowly starting to get started on my work. lol

QOTD

"If the thought of lack – whether it be money, recognition, or love – has become part of who you think you are, you will always experience lack. Rather than acknowledge the good that is already in your life, all you see is lack.”

- Eckhart Tolle

*I need to start acknowledging what I have, as opposed to always dwelling on what I DONT have...
