“Be patient with others. Be patient with their small annoyances, with their behaviour, with their speech, with their every being. Be patient with them. For your own sanity.”

“And once the storm is over, you wonât remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You wonât even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you wonât be the same person who walked in. Thatâs what this stormâs all about.”

“When people walk away from you, let them go. You shouldnât have to talk them into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, and coming to see you ⌠because if they really cared about you in the first place, they would not be going anywhere.”

Barriers
Youâre the only person who was able to break down my emotional barriers. But now youâre the reason Iâve put them back up.

I wonder if she has ever seen your childhood photo book. Looking back, that is the moment I fell in love with you.Â
Purple
Nas
Nas - Purple
I decided I had no choice but to post another Nas classic. This is hip-hop at its finest. The lyrics really pack a punch the way theyâre smooth sounding, yet at the same time possess Nasâs naturally sharp tone. Thatâs that iconic New York style. Purple is off of Nasâs 2002 album The Lost Tapes.
âSomebody tell these shorties reach for the stars. Instead they tell âem how to reach through the bars, holdinâ a mirror lookinâ down a tear in jail, makinâ weapons to kill ya. We smoke three tokes nigga pour more Henny. He sighs with eyes that seen a war too many. Cold-blooded murderers, universal. Hood to hood, blowinâ smoke, state of mind is purple.â

My Song Rating: 10 out of 10
“You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Donât waste your time on anything else.”

“For a long time, she held a special place in my heart. I kept this special place just for her, like a Reserved sign on a quiet corner table in a restaurant.”

Last night was amazing! I went in to the Art show thinking it will be a place to view art from fellow inmates at a few facilities across CA and came out, literally, almost a new person. I was able to see PEP (Prisoner Education Project) from a different lens. CI is only a small part of the PEP coalition. This is ground breaking work because it has never been done. Breaking barriers for those who WERE at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Began the night volunteering my time at the entry boot, well first of all Sakura Ichi is such a delightful resteraunt/gallery -dim lights, amazing!! music playing in the background and every single person in there looked “unique” and nonjudgmental, like they had a story to tell and I wanted to listen. First, a spoken word poet from South Central LA spoke about people trying to get by and I was in aw “you are not alone” the second act! I was tearing up her words were so beautiful!! (I recorded both). Then I was relieved from the entry booth and was visiting in the gallery when I see this bright camera/video recorder and this guy said “these are from Ventura” & the interviewer replied w “oh are they?” and the kind gentlemen replied w “no I’m telling you they are” I, of course jumped in and said “how do you know?, I volunteer there” at this point it was a little awkward because the bright camera was in the middle of the gentleman and I but we continued having a conversation. He, Marcos Nunez, shared with me that he was in the Ventura facility and is now free! I told him a little bit of what I do there and when we stopped to catch a breathe the interviewer asked if he could interview me so we did that and then Marcos got interviewed. After that whole bit I sat down w Marcos and we talked about what he wished he had as a resource when he was in there and he told me he went to UC Davis to give a motivational speech! Amazing man! He introduced me to another amazing individual, Esche she was locked up for a couple of years, received her GED in jail and now is 23 attends USC! and works for a prestigious law firm. She proceeded to tell me about another individual in the room- the first time she got drunk ended up killing her boyfriend and getting something like 30 yrs in jail and lastly, met the producer of the highest grossing comedy, the hangover. He could have been anywhere in the world but he was there! That says a lot! Turns out he is an advocate for incarcerated youth. He also got Dr. Reese (founder of PEP) & President Rush (president of CI) in contact to make my volunteering experience at VCYF possible, I thanked him. Amazing night! Met great people, amazing music, learned soo much and when people ask why do you volunteer at a correctional facility? This is why! The opportunity to really help everyone because if you get to the man serving life he will get to the man serving 20yrs who will then make a change and it only trickles down from there. Anti Recevidism.

“iâm afraid for the young generation. iâm afraid that theyâll forget what it means to be human. iâm afraid that theyâll no longer find it beautiful that the sun rises and sets without us asking it to do so. iâm afraid that one day my children will wake up for school and there will be no more light at dawn and they wonât even notice, wonât even care. we live in a time of smallness. everything we love has to fit between our palms or else we no longer believe in it. single people cannot hold countries together. no oneâs arms are wide enough. we care about the small things, only know how to hold each other and be incredibly and increasingly aware of how we can never melt into one another, can never touch each other the ways that we want to be touched. the world is growing smaller. nowadays, we can fall in love with people weâve never met. we have the power to hold all of the knowledge in the palm of our hands but we donât know what to do with it. we are living in a time where our only concern is our own small lives because we canât afford to care about anything else. scientists are splitting apart molecules. scientists are going to see if other universes are around so that we can take notes on how to be more like them. we know so much and our universe has grown exponentially and thinking about it all is terrifying, so we focus on small things. the white feather that falls as a good luck sign towards the pavement. a hot cup of coffee on a cold monday morning. the simple idea of meeting someoneâs eye from across a room and falling devastatingly in love. we focus on small things. the human things. all of what we have been told for ages are important. because if we lose track of those, if we lose track of all the loves and all the life and all the sadness and darkness that we can hold in our palms, then everything would be too much. and so few people these days are willing to let themselves be overwhelmed.”

Just have something in there.”
