WHAT HAVE I LEARNT

1. No matter how painful , everything heals with time 

2. Overthinking kills!

3. Some people  are in your life for just a season & thats okay

4. Living in the moment is the best that you can do

5. Family & true friends are irreplaceable

6. I need to get laid :D

My Birthday pics  :

Thank God , no one relli reads my blog cuz these words are my diary screaming out loud. I'm 19 years old today and I'm still immature and my life is directionless. I wanted to be a UN doctor that travels but now I'm thinking maybe a journalist but then I have no idea what that entails. My lovelife is non-existent. I'm a little over my current living situation. I just want to fast forward to my jetsetting career fuelled by my idealistic beliefs. However as listless as I feel, I dont feel like wallowing in self pity. SO as soon as I find out who i want to be and I'm going to be her fiercly!

Fashions fade, Style is eternal

I am not one to buy fashion magazines. I rather spend money on a paintbrush and read these magazines in the checkout line at the supermarket.
However, I would be silly to deny, the sheer genius that are editorials. The fashion is evident but the composition on a whole refuses to be confined to one genre. I find these simply breathtaking.

Things you didn't know black people invented !

Happy Black History Month

Thank god for the one month we as a race can celebrate the positivity instead of dwelling on the negative
SO with that here is my random list of things I bet you didn't know black people invented :

street sweeper
ice cream scoop
ultraviolet electrographic camera
first large scale blood bank
first sociology epartment in the US
a bed that folded into a cabinet
a dry cleaning process
super soaker water gun
portable air conditioner
kwanzaa
pencil sharpener
shoe lasting machine
gas mask
dust pan


so thank a black person today lol

Of course there are many more important and far-reaching contributions but i do also believe that racial inequality will cease to exist when we cease to see color. So even though I am proud of my race and will continue to defend and uplift my race I also need to not be defined by my race!

Its not that I don't like pants, I just choose not to wear them some days - Lady Gaga

I am doing a post on nude art
Oh yeh, I went there
Don't worry, its tastefully done. The human body is quite beautiful, Thats how I know God is an artist too. :)

Someone once told me....

"Lying is the most fun a girl can have, without taking her clothes of. But its better if you do"

- Closer (2004)

"I think nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience."
Shelley Winters
