There’s literally wayyyyy too much shit in my head. God has removed everything that would be a distraction from me downloading all these thoughts onto paper, and you’re the beneficiary. I’m going to take you on a trip to the past and the future…it’s all the same.

First a few rules. I fucking hate that I speak English. I mean I hate English. What the fuck is English? The infinity of African languages that we’ve discarded for violence and mayhem and the absolute fucking inability to express ourselves.

Also fuck respectability. I will curse a lot because not cursing is a rule that I did not create. I’m that bitch and I was born a genius and so finally now at 36, I get to state that unapologetically because I’m literally done being white.

I rebuke all forms of whiteness that have pierced my Ancient soul and I give them permission to evaporate right now. The weight of whiteness has literally kept me from soaring. Time travel, vocal magic, supernatural magnetism, Spirit power. These are all the things we were born with. The Matrix has convinced us to bury these things. I’m done.

Until Tomorrow,

Lolade
