fav lyric from a song
The circumstances put soul in me
And there ain’t no holdin’ me
I’ve got a heart made of gold in me
Can you believe this is where I’ve been?
And when adversity comes again
I’ll deal with it then
A Little Better, Gnarles Barkley

the nublack philosophy/mantra according to Jenn Everett
Remain true to your passions no matter what others do to discourage you. People will always try to make you average because misery loves company.
