I can't help marveling at how you look at the world. Wherever your eyes wander you see opportunity. In places. In people. You radiate a special sort of energy - there are good things coming your way and you know it. You embrace how everyone wants to give you a piece of themselves and the world falls down at your feet for believing nothing could possibly go wrong. I wouldn't call you naïve. I think it's a gift to think of tomorrow without worry. A part of me is constantly on the hunt for excuses to look out for you. To warn you to be careful. I know all too well that good things don't last forever. But maybe you really are different. You love the world and it loves you back, and that's all there is to it. When you tell me not to worry you don't mean it in a condescending or insolent way. You've simply never been in a situation you couldn't get out of on your own and I just want to be someone you need. Just once, for an hour or two. You could put your head on my shoulder and release the tears that must have been building up behind your bright eyes for years. I could put my arms around you and hold your pieces together, watching you fall apart beneath my touch just enough so that I can put you back together afterward.
But I was never under the illusion that I had to fix you and maybe I can't deal with thinking you'd be just as content if I wasn't around. Unlike you, I can't stop the doubts from creeping in sometimes. You will always find your way. As reassuring as that knowledge is, it also makes me feel a little sad.
the world loves you back / n.j.

In Honor of the new Black Panther Wakanda Forever movie being released yesterday! Chadwick was an amazing actor and it's hard to see that he was taken too soon from us

When are we as humans ever going to stop oppressing others (race, ethnicity, gender, species) simply because we see those others are 'different'?

There is honor in being there for yourself. But there is also honor in asking for help.
Maybe a hand emerging from the light is all you need today.
It's okay to ask for help ♡
