A Beautiful Mess

“Every day you’re not dead in the ground, when you wake up in the morning, you’re gonna have to make some decisions. Got to ask yourself this question: “Am I gonna believe all them bad things them fools say about me today?” You hear me today? “Am I gonna believe all them bad things them fools say about me today?” The Help (via quote-book)

“The African man must man up and stop suppressing the African woman in an attempt to attain greatness. African men and women are not competitors in some unacknowledged race to the top, we should work alongside one another providing encouragement, love, and support, not abuse, discrimination, and violence. The African man must man up and respect the African woman as a woman and not treat her like a little girl, or a criminal, or an enemy, simply because she was born a female. The African man must man up and realize that he doesn’t need to belittle the African woman to reinforce his manhood.” The African Man Must Man Up (via africaisdonesuffering)

“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.” Charles Bukowski (via aquaticwonder)

“If you’re feeling frightened about what comes next, don’t be. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path towards happiness, don’t waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes; because you’ll never get another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost, simply take a breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart… where your hope lives. You’ll find your way again.” Everwood (via julie911)
