my soul is bubbling over with feelings of...
somewhere amongst fear, shame, guilt, ignorance, pain, hurt, and so many other things i managed to love me. i thought about all of these things as i began my journey today from london to amsterdam. despite all of these feelings that i endured at some point in my life or the other i managed to steadfast and believe that these things were not permanent. they chipped away physically, emotionally,...
farewell london town.
i have greatly enjoyed myself in good ol’ london. i didn’t write much nor take many pictures. didn’t feel it was necessary. lots of MUCH NEEDED rest + great experiences.
i am packed up and headed to walk out of the door. i fly out of gatwick airport. gatwick express here i come!

i wish all of my friends a fucking amazing semester as they head back to our campus from their respective locations. my only request:
1. engage.
2. exchange.
3. keep it cute.
4. think critically.
5. be generous.
6. make the professors think, as well. because we are all learning; truth be told.
7. challenge the shit out of everyone and make them think + YOU think.
8. don’t let nobody...
NÃO MARQUE NADA!

I ain't got no money! But, baby, I'm with rich...
i am always dressed to kill + the greatest dancer you’ve ever seen. don’t wonder why.
i, too.
i, too, sing america.
i am the darker brother.
they send me to eat in the kitchen
when company comes,
but I laugh,
and eat well,
and grow strong.
tomorrow,
i’ll be at the table
when company comes.
nobody’ll dare
say to me,
“eat in the kitchen,”
then.
besides,
they’ll see how beautiful I am
and be ashamed –
i, too, am America.

when it comes to love i deliver. your personal UPS. my love is so much more.
i just want you to enjoy feeling beautiful.
i must admit. i do find it quite remarkable listening to coldplay in london. it’s like when i listen to jay-z in brooklyn. i feel like i can check this off of my bucket list, now. viva la vida. :-)

it is hard to apply oneself to study when there is no money to pay for food and lodging. i almost never explain these things when folks are asking me why i don’t do this or that.

i will find some way to make it to w. africa this year. it only feels right. i am connecting the dots of history. so to see ghana, togo, benin…yeah, it’s very important. especially, since i am in england. i am, like many people of african-american descent, a descendent of africans + europeans. i share both histories - neither is less or more important. english is my first language...

Let’s say your walking down the streets your head is hung low and this happy, crazy, energetic ray of sunshine comes up to you and immediately breaks you out of your funk…Well…. my friend and my soul star Andre takes the cake for forever putting a smile on my face. Andre...

has opened up his heart + his mind + his SOUL to the universe. I am claiming nothing but evolution to better myself mind + body + soul. I am a vessel from the heavens + our ancestors. And it feels SO good. To life. To life. L’chaim!a moment ago
i think that homophobia is an illness. it really eats away at the soul of an individual which in turns eats away at [a] society. wow. where does the illness come in? well, it’s like cancer if you ask me because you don’t realize you are [so] sick until it’s late and in advanced stages. and it’s really unfortunate because people really miss opportunities to meet and get to...
i gave up on the politics of living and just started doing what i want[ed]. fuck it.
i wanna laugh. wanna sing. everything. in a heartbeat.
i wanna live. wanna be. where the spirits are free. in a heartbeat.
all seems strange. my whole life has changed. in a heartbeat.

sometimes i just laugh. when i laugh by myself that means shit is both funny and/or just real. i am not laughing for a response. just laughing. so much to be said, will be said, will be written. and so much won’t. oye como va.
