I got lost on my way here.

I went to the wrong place because as a New Yorker, I don’t read building numbers. I show up.

And, now that the television light pours over your body, I’m not sure how I even trusted myself to be rubbing your bottom lip in between my two lips. You see, I’m not supposed to be here, or at least, that’s what I tell myself.

Before this night, I stuck to the script. It said it will take me to the place I’ve been meaning to go to. But after tonight, I’m not so sure I can abide by it anymore. You see, its writers are moving on.

They’re looking into retirement homes, condos with their boyfriends and even changed their phone numbers. I no longer know them like how I used to and somehow in between the DMs, phone calls and you telling me how you planned to mess up my lipstick, I know you. I know this script. Shit, we created it, by me consenting to take a chance on myself, then you and maybe on this; all in the name of friction and pink matter.

And although this fuck may only last one night, your elevator kiss made me realize you don’t require the same amount of details I need, to find your way. You show up, even without needing a building number.

LRD’s article on building stamina in today’s workforce.

“In a generation where doing “nothing” is unacceptable, Millennial women can be found shifting themselves into overdrive; leaving no room on their iCal or Google Calendar for personal development. Life Coach Gabrielle Bernstein knows that precarious tale too well. She became the founder of a Public Relations firm in New York City after she graduated from Syracuse University in 2001. Her firm was based on promoting the city’s trendy night scene; by the age of 25, Bernstein stated she was “addicted to work, food, love and drugs.” Most young women can relate to this; the journey to finding the perfect coping mechanisms to go with their fabulous professions and lifestyles generally leaves them feeling burnt out.”

‘When I say black lives matter,’ she explains, ‘I’m not saying white lives don’t, I’m just saying that this is a group of people that has been systematically repressed for generations so it’s necessary to shed light on it to undo those wounds. Some people think that it’s trying to exclude white people, but that’s not the point. The point is to uplift voices that have been silenced and that’s a problem in the way we’re treating race.

um hello yes i have a conspiracy theory, it’s called the systematic oppression of people of color and women leading to an underrepresentation of both groups in the media and in leadership roles, idk maybe that’s why all the 20 acting noms are white and all the director noms are men

He was also a member of SNCC (The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee) alongside MLK and many other black folks. He was definitely about that life.

[insecurespice]

Bernie is 74 trying to incorporate black lives matter in his presidency and in his 20’s was with the civil rights movement…that perspective…the time span…America will always be trash.

Life is too short for shitty sex and bad relationships. So go find someone who fucks you right and treats you how you deserve to be treated.
