mrsoulreparations:
Imagine I actually posted this long ass sentimental post about how some of you are really special and I never thought I’d feel positively about people I only know through the internet and that I really wish for the best in your lives and I really support you in every way and
Happy New Years.

free-huey replied to your post: New Year, New Me. The date’s about to change so…
how about Metta World Peace?
That was my first choice, I’ve wanted that name since 2009 but I had legal complications. And I finally thought about going all the way through with it but I don’t want people thinking I copied former Ron Artest. I swear I wrote that name in my June 23, 2009 diary entry...

New Year, New Me. The date’s about to change so I’m going to change with it. And to let people know about the new me, I’m thinking of getting a new name. It’s only right. So I’m looking at two options. Either Jesusetta, which is the female version of Jesus because that’s the person I’m going to behave like in 2012 (minus the miracles and resurrection from...
Anonymous asked: What is the "ethnicity" of this particular suite mate?
People see a black woman with a white child and assume that she’s working as a nanny. People see a white woman with a black child and assume that she adopted some orphan from Africa.
I compete in freestyle battles against myself.
Does anyone else act out the lyrics when listening to Lost Ones by J.Cole and pretend like they’re in the midst of heated conversation between two conflicted lovers? I usually play both characters, unless a friend is nearby and willing to participate.
“And I ain’t too proud to tell you that I cry sometimes, I cry sometimes about it.” Things get emotional around this part....

I have so much respect for the people in my life who show me that stubborn kind of love. That unconditional love with it’s persistence and unbelievable acceptance. It’s understanding and commanding hold, leaving me no where to go. Embrace so expanded I have nowhere to hide. That love I can never escape because it’s always just a call away. Always a shoulder to cry on, always a...

I’m embarrassed that from time to time I watch the Disney channel in shameful silence, and actually enjoy what the programs have to offer. Then sometimes at night, I turn to my favorite pillow and weep into it’s bosom when contemplating how basic I am. I’m glad I have so many people fooled though.
I had no idea so many Tumblr people shower so late… or don’t shower at all. No judgment zone.
Have you showered today? Be honest.

I love Africa, it is my foundation. I rejoice in the fact that my roots are not faulty. I delight in knowing this is a solid rock upon which I stand. I find comfort in seeing my people wish me success, and with that same magnitude of innocent intention I wish them favor filled with good fortune. There is a reassurance of survival when I understand that these blessings have been the product of...

parents’ marriage expectations by Guest
“Many of us might not be around the age to get married tomorrow but the time to find a partner is soon approaching. I always joke around about my parents being upset if I choose to marry a non-Nigerian, they’d be even more upset if I chose to marry a non-African overall.
I know it’s a dilemma that a lot of African kids face whether you’re from the...
If you’re African and have a Twitter account, go look through the trending topic #AfricanKidProblems. It’s pretty funny and brings back memories!
I thought I was good at Words with Friends until I challenged people from Tumblr and got obliterated in every single game I entered. I was depressed after that and almost gave up on the English language entirely. I wonder what else Tumblr people will ruin for me, I wonder.

Africa is Done Suffering?
africaisdonesuffering:
I anticipated that people would be a little confused when they saw or heard the phrase “Africa is Done Suffering.” And I anticipated critics pouncing on the first chance they got to challenge our mission statement and prove just how much Africa is in fact still suffering. I knew it would come, but not this early. But with that in mind I’ll always remember that criticism is...

Anonymous asked: They call me Dwayne Wade baby, I got the Heat like Miami.
The amount of things and people in my life that I care about are insanely outnumbered by the things and people in my life that I don’t care about, and I wonder if it’s because I’m learning to dedicate my all to the few things that deserve my devotion and undivided attention or if I’m all in all just becoming indifferent to the world and the disappointments it keeps handing...

Everything in life can be either right or wrong, moral or immoral, justifiable or inexcusable based on a matter of perspective. Everything. But not a lot of people are willing to look above and beyond how they view others, or the world, or the way they think things should happen. Even most people who claim to be so open-minded and free thinking don’t posses a mere ounce of the understanding...
Anonymous asked: You're not going to cook me some fufu and soup for supper tonight?
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all.
Nigerians. I love my people, hate some of their ways. Smh.
africaisdonesuffering:
Some people have a lot more confidence in themselves than the world would like for them to have. Some people take a lot more pride in their heritage than the world would like for them to take. Some people cherish their culture much more than the world would deem acceptable for them to cherish.
And that’s a problem… for the world.
Because although unstable confidence does...

Anonymous asked: I love you. Thank you for being my biggest fan. Let's get tacos. - Lauryn ps: fuck you anon, hatin' ass nigga. lemme catch you roun my way i'ma get the WHOLE marley clan on yo ass, stompin yo punk ass out. nigga.
Anonymous asked: you stan for Lauryn hill & she don't know/care about you.
I wish people took half of the energy that they put into stanning for celebrities who probably know/care nothing about them, and applied it to something much more productive that would actually better their lives.
A lot of people get religious in their time of despair but when times are good they completely forget about the God that got them there. Appreciation for the one who delivered them the last time they were in a desperate situation fades and they continue to live their life in pure bliss, until shit hits the fan again. Kind of like those friends everyone has who only come around when they need...

Knowing the kind of person that I am, I don’t really know why I decided to major in psychology. I’ve sure learned to love it but it’s gonna be a challenge. It’s going to be so hard for me to listen to people’s frivolous problems and keep a serious face. The ones facing suicide or in deep depression I know I’ll handle in a profession manner, but the people who...

This might sound a bit rude and/or cynical but that’s alright. Anyways, I’m always skeptical of people who call themselves intellectual or refer to themselves as an “intellect” or always walk around telling people that they’re educated and this and that. Who cares though? That’s actually the kind of self-righteous pompous shit that reveals people’s...
I have little to no respect for someone who calls themself “intellectual” yet runs away from conversation the instance someone disagrees with them about a particular matter or reverts to insults when confronted with an interesting heated discussion.
So the other day I posted about suicide
the-sunshine-phase:
And a lot of people who’ve been suicidal said that i was being insensitive (which I tend to be sometimes on accident) but none of them tried to make me understand.
Right now there is a post going around on tumblr pleading for people to go write in this girl’s ask box for her NOT to kill herself because she’s such a wonderful person.
Now this is the part that confuses me.
...
i’m hiding my desire to behave in a ratchet manner.
Anonymous asked: How do you deal with condescending people? You know the type of people that will answer a question not directed at them and love to add things like "sweetie" at the end. Even if they are wrong in their answers a lot of the time.

The world is in trouble when people who show that they have a little common sense are being looked upon as geniuses. And it shows that we’re in a lot of trouble when people who have the basic ability to string together coherent thoughts are viewed as highly-regarded intellects. It’s a problem when a rational person is a rarity. The way in which we praise one single individual who shows...
Anonymous asked: tbh what I always do is 1) Tell the person to please cover their mouth with their inner elbow or a napkin when coughing and 2) In your case I would tell her "Um, you know what U should really get that cough checked out. A persistent cough is never a good sign. u might have a respiratory infection or worse I hear persistent coughs can lead to heart valve problems." at a proper distance of...
Anonymous asked: lol also you'll be fine. you would need more direct contact with her bodily fluids in order to be in danger. I mean as long as she doesn't have herpes...Ok maybe u should just pray.
Anonymous asked: your friend has had this cough for years? seriously? has her endurance on the court changed at all? she may have untreated strep throat which can lead to endocarditis or maybe exercise induced asthma. idk tho it depends when she coughs and what other symptoms she has.

I think one of my teammates has a STD that she doesn’t know about, either that or she’s keeping it a secret or something. Because she’s always coughing. She has this annoying, disgusting and consistent cough that’s developed over the past couple years. I really wouldn’t mind it except for the fact that she always feel the need to be by me. Like a lost dog clinging to...
