Vision
“A lot of things broke my heart but fixed my vision.” Freddie Gibbs By: Gabriela Yareliz That’s the way it is. Often, through suffering, we find salvation and clarity. Clarity requires humility.

The Pages
“All I wanted to do with my life was fill the pages.” Jhumpa Lahiri Same, Jhumpa, same. Words have the power to do that to you. They sort of take over and fill your mind with swollen dreams. Pages flying into every corner of the heart.

I want us to think about ourselves as a compass. A compass works through alignment with the magneticContinue reading “Compass”
Ugly

Theo was talking about how he saw a random recording someone took of him, and they called him ugly. Antonio went on to say that ugly means “swaggy.” “Watch this ugly mf getContinue reading “Ugly”
