Praying for the families in Ghana and Nigeria that have lost loved ones in this weekend’s plane crashes  

childiswealth:

A friend of mine sent me a text saying that her friend lost her sister, all four kids, her husband, 2 cousins, and his mom on that flight. I can’t imagine what that pain is like. I’m praying for them all.

One Republic | Goodbye Apathy

Now that I’m alright, I can help you out
I’ll be what you need; I’ll do anything
Goodbye apathy

038. i’m an overthinker and i believe it’s my biggest roadblock. currently working on knocking that out of the way. it’s a hard thing to unlearn.

“For the people who hate Obama, it doesn’t matter what he does. And the things they say are so retro. Taking the n-word out of language left a hole. So now there is this flood of other words—Kenyan and no-births—that they have produced in order to fill that hole. The n-word used to say it all. Now there’s this other loaded vocabulary that’s become totally insane. That’s startling to me.”

“The hoodie is just a distraction. The killing of young black men has never changed all that much, with or without hoodies. There are two things I want to know, and I may spend some time doing research. One is, has any white man in the history of the world ever been convicted of raping a black woman? Ever? I just want one. The other thing is, has any cop shot a white kid in the back? Ever? I don’t know of any. Those are two things I’m looking for. And then I will believe all this stuff. Once I find a cop who shoots a young white kid for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute
What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it”
