How You Love Yourself Is How You Teach Others To Love You

. "Romance was different in her world. In our world. She believed it lived all around us. In the trees, the blue sky hiding behind rain clouds, snow flakes clinging to windshields, squirrels hiding their food, blades of grass catching drops from a misty morning, and in every person to walk the earth. Ella loved to sit on city benches and make up stories about passing strangers. Since meeting her my entire world changed. I always turned life into strands of color on an empty canvas. People blurred by like flashes of light. Just blurs. Then Ella walked into my life and everything slowed down. The blurs of color became people with stories. People with hearts. People. Like me." #Author: #Marilyn Grey

There is so much pain and self-hatred in the stories of the hair of women of color.

Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again.

First time i made Cheesy Chicken Garlic Bread for iftar. It turned out really good Yayyy 😀 . . #iftar #iftartime #iftarwithfamily #cheesybread #garlicbread #foodphotography #food #ramazan #ramadan2016 #ramadan #foodie #foodlover #foodporn #foodie #homemade #cheezybread #pakistani #ramadanfood #firsttime #alhamdulillah #happy (at New York, New York)

Heard ten thousand whispering and nobody listening. 
Heard one person starve. 
I heard many people laughing. 
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter.

You don’t forget the face of the person who was your last hope.

Interviewer: "Do you have a bodyguard?“

Muhammad Ali: "No, I have One bodyguard. He has no eyes though He sees. He has no ears though He hears. He remembers everything with the aid of mind and memory. When He wishes to create a thing, He just orders it to be and it comes into existence, but this order does not convey the words which takes the tongue to form like our sound carries ears. He hears the secrets of those on the quite thoughts. He stops those whom, whose that? That’s God Allah. He’s my bodyguard. He’s your bodyguard. He’s the Supreme, The Wise.”
