i have a special place in my heart for children who calmly translate for their parents. so proud of how they switch their tongue, carrying two languages in their mouth without ever feeling like their parents are a burden. bless your hearts.

Maybe it’s brave to quit your job to go paint in Peru for a year, but it’s also brave to work two jobs to help pay for your mom’s medical bills. It’s smart to stay at the law firm until your loans are paid off. It’s OK to only tolerate your job but love your hobbies, because as soon as passions are turned into careers, you risk turning love into work.

So you don’t love your job — who gives a shit?

Are you happy with yourself? Are you happy with the way you treat people? Are you happy with your life?

These little kids at MoMA were trying to recreate this piece of art and it made my life.

Blind Man gets on bus.

Man gives up seat to Blind Man.

Blind Man says thank you.

Man nods at Blind Man.

Okay.

When will some girls stop acting like special snowflakes for not wearing makeup? Girl, you ain’t shit. Stop putting each other down for petty things.

K’naan // Fatima

Awesome Somali-Canadian rapper best known for his song Wavin’ Flag for the 2010 Fifa World Cup. But his other lesser known songs are more to my liking, especially this solemn one called Fatima which is about his childhood friend who had been killed in Somalia a week after young K’naan and his family moved to the US.
