Sleep

You let Me fall Off to sleep In your Arms I fell in Love With the feeling A feeling Now I can’t Sleep Without Your arms Surrounding Me

Anybody can become angry – that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.

Metal cylinders on the move with roars that echo through dark tunnels, steel pillars, and rusty ladders; with big body shaking the ground, startling feathered locals and nomadic urbanites.

With great celerity it glides through the subterranean interstices of brotherly love, shoots out...

Skittles, my nigga. They forgot, food for thought, taste the rainbow, nigga.

Mad world and ice tea make a man pull trigga’?

Or racism had him feelin’ like Rambo, nigga.

Well fuck that, buss’ back like Django, nigga.

Just one clap will take a life in a flicka’.

Yet we still want mags to let...

But the man who is best known as Pepe says those who consider him poor fail to understand the meaning of wealth. "I'm not the poorest president. The poorest is the one who needs a lot to live," he said. "My lifestyle is a consequence of my wounds. I'm the son of my history. There have been years when I would have been happy just to have a mattress."

He who delights in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.

You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.

"A person of good intelligence and sensitivity cannot exist in this society very long without having some anger about the inequality - and it’s not just a bleeding-heart, knee-jerk, liberal kind of a thing - it is just a normal human reaction to a nonsensical set of values where we have cinnamon flavored dental floss and there are people sleeping in the street" ~ George Carlin

"Heaven or Hell" - Meek Mill

Some niggas go to college, some niggas go to jail. Some make it into heaven, some make it into hell. Nobody wanna lose, nobody wanna fail. Nobody wanna die, nobody wanna kill. The things we do, just to make it through. Nobody wanna lose, nobody wanna fail. Nobody wanna die, we’re just tryna live our lives out there.

I can get my head turned by a good-looking guy as much as the next girl, but sexy doesn’t impress me. Smart impresses me, strength of character impresses me. But most of all, I am impressed by kindness. Kindness, I think, comes from learning hard lessons well, from falling and picking yourself up. It comes from surviving failure and loss. It implies an understanding of the human condition, forgives its many flaws and quirks. When I see that in someone, it fills me with admiration.

literature meme || {1/2} genres → Absurdist fiction

 Absurdist fiction is a genre of literature, most often employed in novels, plays or poems, that focuses on the experiences of characters in a situation where they cannot find any inherent purpose in life, most often represented by ultimately meaningless actions and events. Common elements in absurdist fiction include satire, dark humour, incongruity, the abasement of reason, and controversy regarding the philosophical condition of being “nothing.”Works of absurdist fiction often explore agnostic or nihilistic topics.

While a great deal of absurdist fiction may be humorous or irrational in nature, the hallmark of the genre is neither comedy nor nonsense, but rather, the study of human behavior under circumstances (whether realistic or fantastical) that appear to be purposeless and philosophically absurd. Absurdist fiction posits little judgment about characters or their actions; that task is left to the reader. Also, the “moral” of the story is generally not explicit, and the themes or characters’ realizations—if any —are often ambiguous in nature. Additionally, unlike many other forms of fiction, absurdist works will not necessarily have a traditional plot structure (i.e., rising action, climax, falling action, etc.).

Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.
