maybe we just need something to believe in
You ever just get so lost inside of yourself that you can't find a way out? You have so many thoughts that you don't know how to put them together? I'm a shy, introverted girl who has been busily living inside my head for quite sometime. I have a lot of thoughts and can't usually find the words to speak them. I've been searching for meaning in this life, I've been searching for love and happiness. I've been searching for faith and hope. I do my best to be there for everyone around me, to make some sort of difference in this world. I want to bring light to the darkness, I want to find light in the darkness. I want to find beauty in this world again. I guess I'm just looking for something to count on, something to believe in. I'm a 22 year old grad student just trying to find my way and a place to belong.

It’s so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone.
Some people are uncomfortable with silences. Not me. I’ve never cared much for call and response. Sometimes I will think of something to say and then I ask myself; is it worth it? And it just isn’t.
I want people to understand that my goal to improve the self-love of young African-American women should never be confused with advocating racial supremacy. There are a lot of young black girls who I meet in my travels who don’t have a lot of self-esteem. So if I communicate to them that they’re beautiful, no white person should find fault in that. It doesn’t mean that young white girls aren’t beautiful, because they are just as beautiful.

Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there’s a tomorrow. Maybe for you there’s one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it.
But for some of us there’s only today. And the truth is, you never really know.

Some believers accuse skeptics of having nothing left but a dull, cold, scientific world. I am left with only art, music, literature, theatre, the magnificence of nature, mathematics, the human spirit, sex, the cosmos, friendship, history, science, imagination, dreams, oceans, mountains, love, and the wonder of birth. That’ll do for me.
