His B.
Her small defining momemnts of unrefined effortless joy.
LOVE.
Arundhati Roy.
To love.
To be loved.
To never forget [my] own insignificance.
To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around [me].
To seek joy in the saddest places.
To pursue beauty to its lair.
To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple.
To respect strength, never power.
Above all, to watch.
To try and understand.
To never look away.
And never, never, to forget.
Leila Lopes. Miss Universe 2011. GORGEOUS!!
‘Some people call this skin black
But it’s brown, deep chocolate brown
Perhaps with a hint of caramel
Under this brown skin is my soul which knows no color
And a heart which is colorless too
I’m a girl with a heart, soul, mind,
A life to live, and love inside of me
A girl with a body,
Covered by brown skin.’
