Truly blessed to live another year! I continue to chase dreams, because of this kid. I continue to conquer giants, because of this kid. God and I are tight, because of this kid! I didn't give up or give in, because of this kid. This bright- eyed kid saved my life....I owe it to him to live my best life! #Searsly #RaffealSears #HappyBirthday #raffealslayslions #LearningfromYoungerRa #babyRa #LettersFromMyYoungerSelf #HappyBirthday #BirthdayFlow #ThirdPersonFlow #WheresthatSweater #30something

Since I missed #tbt I decided to post this here pic for #fbf. Oh, 19 year old Raff...what's going on here? The one thing that I do admire about 19 year old Raffeal is that he didn't care too much about what people thought about him. He was unapologetically himself. Thanks for the lesson, young Ra! You are truly freeing your 30 something year old, adult self to be the man God has called him to be. #LearningfromYoungerRa #myafrotho #backintheday #nevergrowup #ChristWins #Searsly #raffealslayslions #RaffealsnextChapter

These #tbt photos are brought to you from my junior year at Paseo Academy of the Fine and Performing Arts High School! I haven't seen these pics since my junior year. Check them out: 1st pic is 1st semester and the 2nd pic is 2nd semester of my junior year. It is quite cool to see my evolution within a year. My junior year was my gensis to vintage clothing. I truly love this kid, he was his whole self. He was like, "I'm gonna unapologetically rock some Bantu knots, some pork chop sideburns, and my 70's leather jacket!" I can see glimpses of the man that I was destined to become. I promise, baby Raffeal is healing 30 something Ra! Baby Ra is me! Rock on Baby Ra! #Searsly #Raffealslayslions #RaffealsnextChapter #backintheday #LearningfromYoungerRa #BantuKnots #highschool #paseoacademy #vintageclothing #DrakeEyebrows #babyRa
