Two People Beginning To Fall In Love

“It was not the usual frenzy they were accustomed to. This was the poignancy of two people who were beginning to fall in love; people who could derive satisfaction just from looking at each other.”

Men In Pink, Thanks Killa Cam

Let’s take a moment of silence and give gratitude to Cam’ron for catapulting pink in the menswear space. When he wore that mink fur jacket, with matching iconic accessories. An entire look that’s become a classic Halloween costume (read New Yorkers Who Will Curse You Out). Hang that image in the Louvre behind a glass case, Mona Lisa style.

FYI Kimora Lee Simmons styled him, it was for Baby Phat Fall 2003. Game changer.

Men, don’t shy away from “girly” colors. Make it your own. Which look is your favorite? Via: Jin.ByJin Instagram

Central Aspects Of Human Life

How To Find Your Purpose

What comes naturally to me? For just a moment, ignore what you have been taught. Ignore what society has told you. Ignore what others expect of you. Look inside yourself and ask, ‘What feels natural to me? When have I felt alive? When have I felt the real me?’ No internal judgements or people-pleasing. No second-guessing or self-criticism. Just feelings of engagement and enjoyment. Whenever you feel authentic and genuine, you are headed in the right direction.” Do what you love, if you’re having trouble figuring it out, do the above.

To Call For Hands Of Above

One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth

We had a promise made
Four hands and then away

Both under influence
We had divine sense

To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade

To call for hands of above, to lean on
Wouldn’t be good enough for me, no

You’re Staring At The Sun

I am the conscience clear
In pain or ecstasy

And we’re all weaned my dear
Upon the same fatigue

You’re staring at the sun
You’re standing in the sea


Your mouth is open wide
You’re trying hard to breath


The water’s at your neck
There’s lightning in your teeth

Your body’s over me
