Words.

"Those words will still be there. The words are always there." -?uest Love

The above quote is from my newest read, Mo Meta Blues: The World According to QuestLove by Ahmir "QuestLove" Thompson and Ben Greenman Copyright Ahmir Thompson (2013) Grand Central Publishing.

This book is amazing to me! I've only just begun. Shot out to my local library for having this as well. Definitely got to add this to my library ASAP. But since I'm ballin on a budget, library it shall be until further notice. ^_^

SIDEBAR: Here's some fun facts about my relationship with the library of late. When I went to renew my card, I found out my membership was still under a juvenile account -I turned 23 in July. AND TODAYYY, I roll up to the library thinking it's all good and what do ya know? Doors don't open, mass confusion enters my brain. I look over at the sign FRIDAY-SATURDAY 8-5. Defeat conquers my face. To add insult to injury, they're closed Monday for the holiday. Hopefully I can make it tomorrow to print out glowing recommendation numero dos.

Back to life, back to reality. That quote sums up the very essence of my being. I've been reading for about twenty years now. Words are my passion. Being a writer/poet/artist, I'd say they're quite important to me.

Sometimes they're all I have, others I feel and don't have any to describe said feelings. Music, words. Even jazz/instrumentals can bring them to me. I can barely find the words to describe my affinity for them.

What gives YOU that feeling?

Victory!

For the first time My brothers football team WON! This is his junior season and the first win for my high school in the 4th season since I graduated five years ago. Proud of them.
Hanging with the girls right now. Would've made the deadline for a Friday posting but I started it and that counts lol
Mañana!

Scandaaaaalous.

The title is in the collective voices of The Ashley's from one of my favorite childhood cartoons "Recess".
Shonda Rhimes is AMAZING! So inspirational to me as a writer. That's what I want to captivate through my craft, my ART!
Not only the writing, but the acting is phenomenal.
I watch this with the eyes of another wordsmith, and dissect it, and devour it.
That woman is a game changer.
Snaps for Kerry as Olivia.
Going to continue to enjoy life day by day but next Thursday it is ON!
Stay tuned for my breakdowns of the plot beginning next week.
Cíao!

I caught the song and searched it when watching "The Game" S6Ep9. This beautiful song, about letting go of fear and allowing love to do its thing, closed out the episode when Blue kissed Kiera and she let him take it all the way after revealing earlier in the episode to Tasha and Chardonnay that she was a virgin.

Give it a listen and let me know what ya think! /(^o^)\

Pickle Juice.

Had somewhat of a tough day today. What made me smile and change my attitude was thinking about a sermon where my pastor said "some people walk around looking like they've been baptized in pickle juice!"
Things are never as bad as we make them seem. The world is your oyster, but it can also be your undercurrent. You have the choice to receive great treasure from it or being pulled down by it.
I encountered some kind people today. You never know how much you can help a stranger or how much a stranger can help you. Kind words and conversation can go a long way without you even knowing it.
Your worst days can turn into your best of you just let them.

October.

Today is the first of October, yaaaay! I'm excited because homecoming season is literally right around the corner. I was unable to make it to my alma mater last year so this will bw my very first as alumna!
I am also very excited in general. I'm finally over my end of summer blues, summer baby effect I suppose.
I never noticed how big an audience my blog has been generating so I'm challenging myself to post more. Very therapeutic for me because I've loved writing for as long as I can remember, waited all day to share with you all!
Stay tuned for some amazing content coming this month, and that won't be the end of it.
Please don't be afraid to comment, follow, and request post subjects. I'd love feedback and communication with you.
Peace, love, light. Xo
