Your Skin is not a deprivation, your life is not a defeat, the fact that you call yourself black does not mean that your eyes, soul and brain are black try to whiten yourself. If they blackmail you, whitemail yourself.Don't allow people's opinion to pin you down. Build yourself above the standard of slavery.

“I would like to sculpt my own soulmate…if not only to know how he will fit against my jaded edges. I would like him to have one of my own eye, brown as a burnished, crimson night. A strand of my black hair so that he may be alight with divine air. One nail from my finger bed, so that he may learn the necessity of reading a fairytale at nightfall in bed. And at last, two beats of my own heart that way with one look of our eyes, who meet in the dark, we may know that love is never an enemy of lark. We shall exist in even the darkest of merriments as I shape you wholly to all that I must be and do that never was done in all the lives we’ve yet to begin.”
_Kassandra Grimme, A Constillation Named Cupid, page 55.

love the idea that sherlock and liam get so caught up in each other's worlds when theyre bantering (flirting) sometimes they forget that they are also around equally educated people. sherlock quotes othello and moran mumbles for them to suffocate him while theyre at it. liam turns a forensic observation into a flirt and john quips how that is not scientifically possible. silly things :"))

One of my favorite parts of Stephen King's Cell is when the main character, Clay, walks into his new friend Tom's house for the first time and he's like "hmm it smells gay in here"

It is the greatest manifestation of power to be calm. It is easy to be active. Let the reins go and the horses will run away with you. Anyone can do that; but he who can stop the plunging horses is the strong man. Which requires the greater strength, letting go or restraining? the calm man is not the man who is dull. The calm man is the one who has control over the minds waves. Activity is the manifestation of inferior strength; calmness, of superior
