Quote

The twenties are as frenetic a decade as the teens. You have a voice inside your head repeating I want, I want, I want, but you don’t know what you want or how to get it. You hardly know who you are. You go on instinct. And your instinct mostly pushes you toward adventures you won’t grasp until you look back on them. Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forward, some sage once said.

I remember freshman year I used to fucked with this dark skinned nigga. He wasn’t too tall (bout 6’0) and he had short dreads but he was hella insecure bout himself (and his stroke game was superb BUT ANYWAY, BITCH)

I saw how much he didn’t like himself physically. He was shy and didn’t really like his appearance. Always talkin bout his gut and how he’s not as tall as he wants to be. Talked about his size and how he wish he had a stronger physique.

Every time I was with him and we talked I would kinna interrupt him and say “You know you’re so damn beautiful right?” And he would just stop and start awkwardly smile and then try to continue talking but I’d go on “I’m serious you’re beautiful. I can’t stop looking at you your skin is everything.”

I’d tell him when I saw him he’s beautiful. When we fucked that he’s beautiful. When we talked that he’s beautiful. I wanted to tell him until he believed it.

We fell off afterwards but I do hope he carried some of that with him to his next endeavor. Some of my encouragement to feel beautiful.

I tell guys they’re beautiful so they can hopefully see that they are. And I don’t really fuck with the niggas that EVERY girl would find beautiful cause honestly my definition of beauty in a man is different than everyone else’s. I find beauty in every man I associate myself with. Prolly just me.

This is everything. Yes, please tell these men how beautiful they are. Shit, tell everyone.
