“Today is a great day in Hollywood.”

(Directed by Lacey Duke as shown above)

When I first picked up a camera and discovered I wanted to do nothing more in this life than tell stories through the lens of a camera, everyone else thought I was dreaming too big. I didn’t have many mentors or peers that wanted to pursue a career in cinema and television that looked like me or came from neighborhoods similar to mine. Representation was scarce. Now, I pull energy, good vibes and high hopes from these faces: black and brown men and women telling OUR stories whether it be in front of the lens or behind it. I finally feel like my dreams are closer than they appear, obtainable even more so. I finally feel like a part of a really cool, exclusive club. These are the portraits that will decorate the walls of my home someday. #strongblacklead

How interesting

[squareclocks]

I fucking hate it when you’re in such a fantastically giddy mood and then you see one simple little thing that makes you think, “oh” and then you just get this empty feeling in your chest and you get nauseous and the world just crumbles and you want to just lay under a blanket and close your eyes and fall asleep and never wake up.

I don’t know what you’re going through…

Maybe you’re basically homeless, maybe you’re on Month 4 and them jobs still ain’t getting back to you. Maybe you’re on stitch 42 because your boyfriend thinks you’re a punching bag. Maybe your family expects you to take care of everyone and everything when you barely taking care of yourself. Maybe you’re drowning in a $200K medical bill or frequent doctor visits that you can’t afford. Maybe you just lost a child or a lover. Maybe you’re dying inside and trying to wait it out for your life to come together.

Hear me out, what if I told you 2 years later, you’d be with a company you love? Making GOOD money. No relationship stressing you out. Your biggest dilemma is choosing between a Camaro or a Challenger. It’s been 2 years since you’ve seen or spoken to dude that used to beat your ass in his crib. Your bills on autopay. You trying to decide between Cancun or Dubai for your next birthday. After 90 days as temp-to-perm, your manager calls you in their office and offers you a permanent position with triple the pay. You’re happy, not fake happy either but genuinely happy. You can walk in any store and buy what you want. You not praying and swiping anymore. This is your life.

It’s only up from here. You going through HELL so you will really appreciate heaven. Everyday will not be perfect but these days are always better than the misery you came from. It’s on the way.

when u cum before u get to ur favorite part of the video

[flowerais-deactivated20211031]

my favorite forms of affection - holding hands - resting their head on my shoulder - tight hugs that last a long time - linking arms - lying on their lap or chest - putting their arm around me - compliments - playing with my hair

Black people can hype up anything and I love it.
