How does it feel? Do you enjoy feeling terrorized? Humiliated? I mean, panicked? All those emotions that my sisters got to feel once one year ago! Only guess what? They didn’t ger to laugh it off! No! Nope! No no no! They’re gone!
what she says: i'm fine
what she means: daley blind had the most wonderful hair i have ever seen in my life - blonde and wavy, a bit like a lion's mane. it eventually grew so long, he had to put it into a bun. he fashioned it into a top knot, and bits would hang down around his face when he ran a lot. he was perfect. everything was going well. however, some people didn't like his hair. some people would make jokes about it (jealous, most likely). then, one fateful day in august, daley took a selfie with some of his united team mates. his bun was gone. there were no strands hanging around his face, because they weren't long enough. the unthinkable had happened. daley had cut his hair. and it was then i realised that i'd never be happy again. maybe i'll find the strength to continue. maybe i won't. but one thing's for sure - i'll never forget that bun. never.
“Beautiful people get everything they want.”
“When I was young, I couldn’t sleep at night because I thought there was a monster in the closet. But my brother told me there wasn’t anything in the closet but fear. And fear wasn’t real. He said it wasn’t made of anything, it was just… air. Not even that. He said you just have to face it. You just have to open that door and the monster would disappear.”

Things don’t get better because you want them to. Starting right now, we have to live in the real world. We have to control who lives here.
there are tears of laughter welling in my eyes
this is the greatest moment in the history of football (and possibly the best thing that’s literally ever happened i can't be sure)
there should be no boundaries to human endeavor. we are all different. however bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. while there’s life, there is hope.
"The beginning of the end of the end of the beginning has begun."
"There is a fine line between what is funny and disrespectful. Someone said something about my hair at the Oscars that left me in awe. Not because I was relishing in rave outfit reviews, but because I was hit with ignorant slurs and pure disrespect. To say that an 18 year old young women with locs must smell of patchouli oil or "weed" is not only a large stereotype, but outrageously offensive. I don’t usually feel the need to respond to negative things but certain remarks cannot go unchecked. I’ll have you know my father, brother, best childhood friend, and little cousins all have locs. Do you want to know what Ava DuVernay (director of the Oscar nominated film Selma), Ledisi (9 time Grammy nominated singer/songwriter and actress), Terry McMillan (author), Vincent Brown (Professor of African and African American studies at Harvard University), Heather Andrea Williams (Historian who also possesses a JD from Harvard University, and an MA and PhD from Yale University) as well as many other men and women and children of all races have in common? Locs. None of which smell of marijuana. There is already harsh criticism of African American hair in society without the help of ignorant people who choose to judge others based on the curl of their hair. My wearing my hair in locs on an Oscar red carpet was to showcase them in a positive light, to remind people of color that our hair is goo enough. To me locs are a symbol of strength and beauty, almost like a lion’s mane. I suggest some people should listen to India Arie’s "I Am Not My Hair" and contemplate a little before opening your mouth so quickly to judge." [x]
