And that’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.

A wise woman once told me…

tallblackguy:

Think of excuses as to why and how you can do something, rather than why and how you can’t. When a radical shift like that happens in a thought process, though? Huge seismic rifts happen. 

But it’s fun to think about, scary to do, and rewarding when looking back.

I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me. And it has nothing to do with what I look like really, it is just that I gave myself the power to say that I am beautiful, and if I could do that, maybe there is hope for them too. And the great divide between the beautiful and the ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose.

The writer is always to some extent in exile, wherever he is, because he is somehow outside… there is always a distance.
