contrast.

some people want diamond rings. and some just want everything. but everything means nothing. if i ain’t got You.

freedom means nothing without the knowledge of bars.

Love means nothing without the understanding of being left alone.

and wisdom can only be gained through encounters with foolishness.

Life can be a real—

—forgive me Jesus and Momma + all of [ Mom + Dad’s ] friends who don’t think “good” people should cuss—

Life can be a real bitch, y’all.

but it can also be so flawlessly exquisite that there are no amount of poetic thoughts that could ever do Them justice..

[ Jesus, cause if You don’t forgive me, nothing else matters. Momma, because you raised me better. And [Mom + Dad’s] friends who think that cussing is tacky + unintelligent and you are probably right, because i legit mean no disrespect; sometimes my art just comes out in more colorful ways than others. ]

Life is a continual series of energy transactions— we give. we get. we rape. we seduce. we get raped. we get seduced.

for money. for fame. for power. for control.

but sometimes.

for real, true, legit Love.

the risks are higher than ever out there. but on that tiny itty bitty percentage of a chance that i still have access to the real, true, legit stuff— i’m not willing to not risk it all.

all in on Love.

‘cause when you lose everything.

you finally know what everything be.

Love you. mean it. <3
