We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Maya Angelou


Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,

It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

find a beautiful piece of art. if you fall in love with van gogh or matisse or john oliver killens, or if you fall in love with the music of coltraine, the music of aretha franklin, or the music of chopin-find some beautiful art and admire it, and realize that that was crated by human beings just like you, no more human, no less.

BITTERNESS IS
like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.


Amenah's format

You are the sum total of everything you’ve ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot - it’s all there. Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive.

your words, you may cut

To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and the threat of eternal indecision. Few, if any, survive their teens. Most surrender to the vague but murderous pressure of adult conformity. It becomes easier to die and avoid conflict than to maintain a constant battle with the superior forces of maturity.
     — Maya Angelou
 



Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with the shades of deeper meaning.
( Maya Angelou )
