"life is so
short that you can't waste even a day
subscribing to what someone thinks you can do
versus knowing what you can do
and that's like the switch"
"if you act on that
its a domino effect."
self believe deletes the haters and attracts love !!

After 6:12 ; @ablohvirgil it is the explanation that counts to me; but this is an act of maturity. Parents love their children more when they explain and formulate plans according to their gifts.

These are the times we're living in right now. We have to state are pronouns after are name society is changing so fast.

[@nathan_johnson]

You don’t have to. You can choose to and a lot of people don’t. I choose not to. I think it’s the biggest waste of time this generation has managed to come up with so far. But if others want to do it that’s their choice.

[@screw766]

Its so fucking stupid

[@insomthegreat]

Have to????
It's a easy way to decide who to get away from for your own sanity.

[@TaliaJUDAH]

He was not in code with his ethnic community. He drew energy to create the "urban" fashion he brought to the high end brands.... However, dude had an all white international staff, a white wife and kept a white social circle. This is what Malcolm X called collateral damage. For the record, he was not kin folk. With all due respect, may he rest easy. Don't @ me, stay off my mentions. I don't care for this sector to agree. -GN

[@SaffariRose]

What did you mean by Malcolm X saying it's 'collateral damage'? Can you please give me an article reference? Ps. I'm not here to argue, I think I understand what you mean by your comment. I'm just curious and want to learn more about it.

[@djjlc]
