“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. 

A dream you dream together is reality.” 

— John Lennon

be ok with being great.

I really like this video Kanye put up, about his outlook on creating.
I know people say he's so full of it thinks he's God etc.
But I know I personally struggle with being okay with being me sometimes, not apologizing for wanting to create- so i was glad to hear someone claiming so much ownership and passion for art and music.


“If you're taught you CAN'T do anything, you won't do anything. I was taught I could do everything!!! When someone comes up and say something like: ‘I Am A God!’ everybody says: ‘Who does he think he is??!?!’ — I JUST TOLD YOU WHO I THOUGHT I WAS. A GOD. I JUST TOLD YOU! Would it have been better if I have a song "I Am A N*gger" or "I Am A Gangster" or "I Am A Pimp"? Go listen to my music, it's the code to self-esteem. If you're a Kanye West fan, you're not a fan of me, you're a fan of yourself. You will believe in yourself. I'm just the expresso shot in the morning to make you believe you can overcome that situation that you're dealing with!”

Happiness is just outside my window
Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour?
Or is happiness a little more like knocking
On your door, and you just let it in?

Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can’t make it come or go
But you are gone- not for good but for now
Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
‘Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks

Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that’s enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar

Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but you’ll never find it all
Let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, wake up and she’ll be home
Home, home, home

what its like

It’s not what you want that matters it's what you want more,
So go on, lie to yourself but don’t lie to me,
Everybody feels locked out of a house they can’t get in. Keep on wanting

In each interaction with someone you only have two choices, yes or no. And two chances to get it right. There's no asking for more.

Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for them?
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for them?
When they know they're your heart
And you know you were their armour
And you would destroy anyone who would try to harm her
But what happens when karma turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you?
What happens when you become the main source of her pain?

And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back

If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room would you trust it
