i admire those who can live beyond their minds.
the ones who aren’t shackled in the dungeons within it depths.
your mind will really play tricks on you.

this is one of the reasons i’m so glad mental health is being talked about.
in the black community,
it is often swept underneath the rug.
we’re told most white people are supposed to be weaker mentally,
as they tend to kill themselves due to their own mental illnesses,
but survey says that’s a whole lie as of late.

did not know katy perry and britney spears had beef.
i always thought britney got along good with everyone.
everyone i know that has met her has said she is really sweet.
katy,
who has the same “poppy” persona,
should be more welcoming.
