Saul Williams is hands down my favorite everything (next to 3000). He opened up the flood gates to my poetry. (staytuned #comingsoon ) s as well. - "I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.” - Harriet Tubman - I think about this quote a lot when I hear this line from @saulwilliams. My man is #quotable. In fact there will be many more coming. - #pennyforathought #saulwilliams #poet #poetry #spokenword #blackonblackbk #resist #resistance #alliesandchampions #wefight #weresist #wewillwin #butwegottafightfirst #outfittingtherevolution #deconstructtheconstruct #fightback #changethenarrative (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn)

Cendre and Cielo

So, basically, I'm kind of undecided about this one because the three of us share similar personalities but we have very distinct images.

The three of us have a little bit of everything mentioned up there.

I am wild in my own way. I kind of speak aggressively with persons I am comfortable with. I have a wild imagination (meaning very active), and maybe I would be the first in line to try extreme stuff that we usually haven't done before (extreme sports!). I am not really sure, but I think I have more intense sexual thoughts than the other two. So that's that.

Compared with what I have to say for myself, I think I really am the wild one? But I always associate "wild" with those who like to party and socialize with other people. I am not that kind of person.

If I'm not mistaken, someone who likes a lot of company is Cendre. I think she'd be the first in line if we went to a club or something. Although I think I have greater sexual desires than the other two (oh come on, doesn't everyone go through this stage?), it was always Cendre who knew sexual jokes better than the two of us did. So, I don't know.

Cielo's not really wild. She's just noisy, and talkative. But I wouldn't call it wild. She's just always hella excited most of the time.

The IDGAF attitude... Nobody doesn't really "not give a fuck" about something. Everyone cares. The difference is that some do it really quietly that they make themselves believe that they don't really give a damn, while some are willing to let people know about their feelings.

I am more of a quiet fool when it comes to what my emotion is. When I feel it overintensely, that's when I try to take it out of my system by telling someone (a close friend or something) about it. But I rarely do that, because I'm afraid that maybe I was just being irrational and that I care too much about it. So I'm still leaning to the IDGAF attitude.

Cendre's kind of the same. She cares a lot. When I say, a lot, I mean, A LOT. Sometimes she'd think when speaking to a group, "Am I being too bossy here?" But, as she always tells me, she doesn't push people to tell her what they are supposed to tell her. If it makes any sense. She always tells me "I don't really care if you share this to me or not" but deep down I know she's really thinking about it. She's going to become upset about it but not actually tell that she's upset.

Don't let me get started with Cielo. She cares a lot about stuff. She's the biggest overthinker. I may overthink, but I overthink quietly. She voices out everything going on inside her head. Cendre's the same. They share the same trait about what they feel and experience.

I am definitely not the cute and innocent one.

If I have to choose, it's Cielo. Cielo is innocent, but she's not stupid. So it's a good thing. I think she's cute because like what I previously said, she's always excited and grinning and laughing. Sometimes I keep getting these thoughts that it's Cielo who always has it easier with life. My life is my family and friends so you know what I mean. I'm not trying to bring her down or put some value over the three of us, I'm just saying that Cielo's life looks like the one in the movies. It's happy, satisfying, and uncomplicated.

Cendre is cute, but she's not exactly innocent. She is also someone who gets hella excited with stuff. But this title really belongs to Cielo.

Again, everything I wrote here is just my unjustified point of view.

If it's just black and white though, here's my summary.

Cendre is the wild one. I'll give it to her.

I am the one with the IDGAF attitude.

And Cielo is the cute and innocent one, hands down.

Throwback

That light, faintest smell that throws you back to your childhood years. Those few lyrics that brings back memories from your high school years. That one movie that you watch nonstop and dream/fantasize of being part of their world. That one book that you get lost in and forget about everything else. That one kiss that made you feel like everything will be alright. But then there's a conversation that suddenly takes you back to your childhood year and said something to your sibling and it was unforgivable. That one song that made you realize "why does it matter anymore?" That one movie that keeps on repeating "just do it." That one book that made you realize that not everyone are what they pretend to be. And that one first real heartbreak that made you realize that trusting people is hard. That's why sometimes the past seems like a blur and sometimes we remember the bad and rarely the good.

I love him but I do not see a future with him and that is all he wants. He is moving to fast for me. I do not know how to tell him I do not want a future yet.

Slowly the seasons change, and with the coming of the holidays i begin to understand, again, what the concept of living is. I now know that helping myself is the only way to change inside me. And there seems like no better time to do so, than with the season.

Motivation

It really irks me when I hear "your generation has a very poor attention span". It is true, yes, but I hate hearing this because I feel that the older generation dont quite understand the society today... But lets not talk about that now.

Unfortunately, I do think I have a very short attention span. Even in the most simple things, I easily get distracted. What scares me is the fact that it may have a bad effect to my personality.

As I am recalling some things, I realized that I easily give up on things. I don't know if it has something to do with having a great motivation because I think the problem is I never really pushed myself to the edge just because of a certain motivation. Now I feel bad for all the time and opportunities I missed just because I didnt really motivate myself well.

I hope that I can improve myself in this aspect.

Enjoy school whilst you can... Once you're out you suddenly realize that the world isn't as full of awe and wonderment as you may have previously thought.
