Barely did anything productive this weekend, except for cleaning my room for the arrival of Lunar New Years! Anyways here is a little snippet of my sanctuary. On top of keeping a personal planner, I also like to post one up on my wall just so I can glance at every morning!

Watch: This documentary covers the incredible journal of a woman who is about to become the first Somali-American elected to an American legislature

The series about the true stories of American immigrants is being produced by America Ferrera. A survivor of Somalia’s civil war, Ilhan spent four trying years in a Kenyan refugee camp before moving to the United States with her family at age 12. Her story only gets more inspiring from there.

I love stories like this, and I love my country for stories like this.

More good news: Ilhan Omar has officially been elected, and is the first Somali-American, Muslim official elected to a US legislature.

“If you can only be tall because someone else is on their knees, then you have serious problem. And white people have a very, very serious problem.”

“If I take your race away, and there you are, all strung out and all you got is your little self, and what is that? What ARE you without racism? Are you any good? And still strong? Still smart? You still like yourself?” - Toni Morrison

This is a little part of my bookshelves. I do love the space it creates.

Men dropping women because they have sex “too soon” is a complete myth. They drop you because all they ever wanted is sex, they reached their goal, and now they’re moving on. You can tell by the fact that they obviously pursued having sex with you. 

It has nothing to do with “self-respect” or “ladylike” behaviour. Have sex whenever you feel comfortable, on the first date or after you’re married, but don’t let anyone tell you that you being sexual is the reason you’re undesirable or you’re not in a relationship. If you feel safe and comfortable engaging in sex, there’s no reason you need to hold back and if you get dumped afterwards, it’s because you’ve been pursued by a manipulative piece of shit.

I’m here for this. It’s so rare to see in advertising, especially designer sites.

11.06.2016 /// One of my favorite things to do on a cloudy Sunday morning is tie back my curtains, sip on some coffee, and just relax. And I color-coordinated my bookshelves the other day and brought out my Christmas decorations, so it’s even better!

Physicists are trying to find out how nature behaves; they may talk carelessly about some “ultimate particle” because that’s the way nature looks at a given moment, but … Suppose people are exploring a new continent, okay? They see water coming along the ground — they’ve seen that before — and they call it river. So they say they’re exploring to find the headwaters, they go upriver, and sure enough, there they are, it’s all going very well. But lo and behold, when they get up far enough they find the whole system’s different: There’s a great big lake, or springs, or the rivers run in a circle. You might say, “Aha! They’ve failed!” but not at all! The real reason they were doing it was to explore the land. If it turned out not to be headwaters, they might be slightly embarrassed at their carelessness in explaining themselves, but no more than that. As long as it looks like the way things are built is wheels within wheels, then you’re looking for the innermost wheel — but it might not be that way, in which case you’re looking for whatever the hell it is that you find!
