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

When the passion isn’t there, the drive isn’t there and it just doesn’t last for me.

My ability to adapt has always stood out. I’ve been immersed in many worlds and have had the influence of many things in my upbringing so I’m familiar with so many styles of living, so many characters, so many life paths and its just easy to simulate for me.

Money is important yes, but not the most important. I don’t need money to smile or breathe.

I soak up personalities and energy. I can identify with anything because truthfully everything that makes up the world is characterized in some way in my family.

My sister is 4 years older than me and I’ve always looked up to her, she was the girl I always wanted to be.

I could use my voice – my entire body – not just my looks, height, and physical expressions.

I come from a huge family and out of all 34 of my immediate family members, my heavier influences were women. Between my grandmothers, aunts, older female cousins, and of course my mother,

Social media is driving the culture, it drives peoples minds literally.

I always say that you are who you are and you can’t hide it.

If you can make it through the age of social media and come out with the same friends and lover, kudos!

Ethnic stories specifically need variety in content period.

The difference lies in the intention behind wanting money. Your reasons for why you want to create more money is typically why you’re ambitious to get it. You’re either genuinely ambitious or selfishly hungry.

Super-stardom doesn’t scare or excite me. It’s just another ingredient added to my world.

I’ve had friends get mad at me for not posting what they think I should post on Instagram on behalf of them or our relation.

I didn’t truly understand the depth of my roots until I was old enough to wonder and care.

Everyone has a different route to success, recognition, and peace. Don’t be afraid to move instinctually.

You don’t have that fear. So why do you think people get stuck in those boxes? It’s that fear of going back down.

I failed so many times and got back up. I got through the toughest times with my family, but I’m still standing.

That was a good fight back in the gym, he said. But i think you could benefit from a few more boxing lessons.

I’ll be firm,” i promised patch, adopting a no-nonsense expression. “no backing down.” by now patch was full-on grinning. He kissed me again, and i felt my mouth soften its resolve. “you look cute when you’re trying to be tough,” he said.

I hope we don’t have to keep going back over the same territory and winning the same rights over and over again. The battle for birth control. The battle for abortion.

To the lives that haven’t been lived yet. That will be my gift back to the world that gave me the life I did live, the love I loved, the breath I breathed.

Freedom is a loose leash, license to be different from your mother and still be loved…Freedom is…not insisting that your daughter share your limitations. Freedom also means letting your daughter reject you when she needs to and come back when she needs to. Freedom is unconditional love.

Tell me everything that I must know. Hold nothing back.
