When I first started college, I wanted to be an artist so bad.

I stayed up late one night, working on an art project to have my design professor literally tear it in half during my presentation...

The class voted for my drawing to win an award but the drawing instructor decided she could overrule that and chose another piece of art...

One day before my art class, my design professor suggested I change my major because “I didn’t have a future in art”...

So I dropped out and started my own art business, now I AM AN FULL TIME ARTIST, my art lives in private galleries all across the US. I also have a full time job as a CREATIVE with one of the largest tech companies in the world.

TL;DR. The moral of the story is don’t let some crusty old people shape your life.

You're the definition of a black queen, you're so beautiful.

💕💕💕 thank you. That literally made my day

When your arguing with your mom and it’s over, everyone’s walking away but you say one last thing under your breath and she heard you… I’m the mom.

Okay so view past relationships like this, you'll be a lot happier Think of when you bought those dope ass shoes and you loved the hell out them, and they were perfect. Right? But then some time passed and they got a little worn out, maybe you cleaned them too much or not at all, maybe they got some holes. You friends may have even made fun of you at some point for it. Or gave you their opinions of how they should be handled when you complained about them. But one day came when you had to part with those shoes. You still loved them, you shared a part of your life with them. You experienced existing with them. But whether you out grew the, lost them or they were even stolen. Move the hell on. Try fucking scandals, go barefoot, get a new pair. Just keep walking...
