When you grow up surrounded by willful ignorance, you have to believe that mercy has it's own country and that it's round and borderless.

spring is super in the supermarkets and the strawberries prance and glow never mind that they're all kinda tart and tasteless as strawberries go meanwhile wild things are not for sale anymore than they are for show so i'll be outside, in love with the kind of beauty it takes more than eyes to know

I'll walk the plank and I'll jump with a smile, cause if I'm gonna go down I'm gonna do it with style.

I don't need anyone to hold me, I can hold my own.

I was supposed to be cool about this, yeah, I remember - cool was the plan. Tried to keep it all under wraps, but the wraps kept going slack. I keep turning round, I keep coming back.

I think when a society has such a profoundly dark and awful evil such as slavery in its history, then it leaves scars that are very, very deep. And unless we collectively address them and really put our effort to healing them, they'll perpetuate. The United States of America are still suffering from the echoes of slavery. I think we're still reeling from all the pain that is a result of it, and that's a reality.

For me, the stronger ground I have in my personal life, then the more will I have to fight the good fight.
