"I couldn't stand to see the queen breathe her dreams away
And tell me her tomorrow will never become today
I say I used to know a woman just like you,
Beautiful but jaded by the multitude of men who'd often try to
Justify their lies with twisted notions of survival
And hide behind their armor when karma completes a cycle
She replied
That just because I knew a woman well it doesn't mean I know them all
She begins to bade farewell

Eyes up to the sky, she sighs, I need nobody
True indeed, sister, but you still need everybody because
We hardly know ourselves if we know nobody else
And only in our loneliness can home become a hell"
--Blue Scholars, "Sagaba"

ewwwitzjojo: givetakemakebreak: jessicaleiii: withoutchristian: chasethesky: chox: I took this picture off of my friend’s facebook. This is a picture of a lady that works at the 24-hour Burger King on campus and she’s probably the sweetest lady ever. Every day I’ve been there she never seems to be in a bad mood, which makes me simultaneously admire and feel guilty that someone her age is still working. I’m in college, I’m young, I complain and I get in bad moods, and here is this elderly lady, working a minimum wage job, who is happy and content with life. I’m envious. She’s found her place, whether or not it was her most desired destination, and she’s happy.She’s comfortable with herself. Here I am, upset about my vague future and impending finals, complaining about things that don’t go my way. She definitely deserved those flowers she received from random UCSD students that day & yet she still deserves so much more for her pleasant disposition. The funny thing is, she seems to be perfectly content where she’s at; not wanting any more than what she has. That’s beautiful. I hope I can find that some day. :’) i love her. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! and her! she is just too sweet and too cute. i cried the first time she helped me at bk. and this kind gesture made me cry too One time, she noticed that I was in a hurry to catch the Regents shuttle but Burger King was taking a long time with my fast food. So she put extra soft serve on the ice cream cone I ordered. That small gesture made up the rest of my evening! :) peace & blessings be upon her I love love love this!! This woman always makes me smile whenever I buy food here :)
