“I do everything I can on a daily basis just so I can have something to give back to the world.”

I love to love. However, you won’t see anybody walking the red carpet with me until I’m married.

Your life and everything about your world should be represented on your social media accounts, and everybody feels that way from family to friends to boyfriends and girlfriends.

I surround myself with strong willed, courageous personalities, because I’ve got to be coached by the best.

I’ve had people question my “integrity” based off of something I didn’t post on social media, the list goes on. It’s mind boggling.

I think I unknowingly seek people who are better than me in the sense of strength and wisdom. It’s like I’ve got to know and trust that you have the answers and that you can carry me if needed.

If your not broadcasting how much you love your boyfriend or husband via social media, problems occur in the home and I really think this is happening more than we acknowledge.

My family has always had Cape Verdean pride but I don’t think it was something the kids in the family necessarily understood.

My friends are a crayola box. They highlight different colors of my being, representing different aspects of my personalty, I’ve noticed.

I acknowledge my beauty and my flaws, I do my best to keep it one hundred with the woman in the mirror so making friends is actually easy.

Some people love what money can do and therefore would do anything to get it, they love the power, they chase it, while others understand what money can do.

I would still be breathing if all my money disappeared tomorrow.

I just simply believe in having purposeful relations, period. That’s what its about at the end of the day.

I think the world should be represented on television and for the longest its been limited.

I don’t admire how much a person has, I admire what a person does with what they have and I think that defines you most.

However, I do appreciate people that are individualistic, mainly because I’m an impressionable soul and my friends become my big sisters and brothers in a way.

Given that this was all at a tender age, I imagine I was very impressionable.

The moth don’t care when he sees the flame He might get burned, but he’s in the game And once he’s in, he can’t go back He’ll beat his wings till he burns them black.

I have to get back to the hotel. But I don’t know the way. I always rely on Shouji so I didn’t notice where we were going.

The Taliban had become deeply unpopular and were actually discarded by the Pashtun population almost as quickly as they were in the north. I don’t see the Taliban coming back in any way.

I came back [to Beijing ] because that’s the only time I had an excuse to come back, or otherwise I would never have a reason to come back.

I’m not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.

Back in the days when I was young I’m not a kid anymore But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again

Once again, we find ourselves back in the unknown – not in the idea of the unknown, but in the lived reality of it. It’s the mind humbled, on its knees, with bare feet and free of the known.

Every one of my works, when I’m looking back, becomes some kind of solution, or something to concentrate on.
