Me: Yes.
*he walks over to me with an uneven cadence in his strut*
Dude: Google me

Dude: Google me. And i’ll come up on the youtube.
Now, I could care less about whether he’s on youtube or not. OR, why he thought that was something pressing for him to share with us....
I wasn’t built for these late night, depressing ass movies.
I’m going to watch the food network channel.

You cannot ask for more.
You cannot demand everything.
You merely have the power to
Take it or Leave it.
Be Satisfied.

Good women are hard to come by.
She’s leaving, again.
It’s official. No wishing it away.
My heart just dropped 15 stories into the bottom of my chest.
People keep asking me, “are you gonna go into politics?” (repeatedly, everywhere I go)
I am tired of being introduced as “the senator’s granddaughter” or the “congressman’s granddaughter”
My name is Kiara.
I am an individual.
I am a creator.
I am to have my own legacy.
So much to do.
So little energy.
This stomach ache has me stuck.
It’s good to be sweaty again

Back to school. First day of class.
Weird teacher. And I’m loving it.

But I’m a force when we’re together....”
My city is way too kind.
All this concrete is sitting on a bed of mush and love. And nights like this that are all grin and laughter.
Jealousy.
Has nothing to do with the person your getting jealous of. And nothing to do with who you’re getting jealous over.

Own it.
Deal with it.
Get over it.

Funny. I thought only when I had a shape up would ppl possibly mistake me for a boy. But there are still a select group of ppl living in the dark ages who equate short hair with masculinity. I’m not sure if this supports gender fluidity or that ppl are ignorant and don’t...
