Stronger

I’ve been listening to Kanye West’s much anticipated new album Yeezus. It’s a medley of several genres – electro, punk, rock and of course hop hop. West is angry, real angry and this is surely his darkest and most abrasive album so far. Tracks such as ”New Slaves,” “Black Skinhead” and “Blood on the Leaves” address issues of race. The more I listen to it, the more I appreciate it. No matter if you like it or not, this album cannot and will not be ignored. Meanwhile here’s my favourite West song, this is the track that gets me through my darkest hours. When ever things get hard I put this on and remind myself that what does not kill me can only make me stronger. – Makes me harder, better, faster, stronger! -

Only Love

There’s much talk of love and relationships here on the blog at the moment. Perhaps it’s because I’m re-watching SATC, season after season. Perhaps it’s because I am in love when I spent a year thinking I would never feel this way ever again, perhaps it’s because I’ve spent that year studying all my previous relationships and those of my friends. Perhaps it’s because love is really what it’s all about and I can’t think of anything better to talk about. I’m walking around repeating these words like a mantra, it’s going to be my life mantra from now on:

“I choose to love people, not to judge them. I want to experience them as they are, not as I want them to be. I want to grow with them allowing each new moment to tell its own story rather than perceive it as a product of our past. I don’t want us to spend our lives thinking about life, changes and celebration. Rather I want us to spend our lives celebrating, living and changing. You and me, together, in love.”

Global Zero

Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon, Naomi Watts and Robert De Niro are a few of the names featured in Global Zero’s awareness campaign where the notable actors call on the United States, Russia and other countries to disarm weapon stockpiles. In 1986, there were 70,000 nukes. Today, there are 17,000. Global Zero, the international movement for the elimination of all nuclear weapons world wide, have a plan to get exactly that -a global zero- by 2030 by bringing together world leaders from the nuclear countries.

“Human destiny will be what we make of it. Let us honor our past by reaching for a better future. Let us bridge our divisions, build upon our hopes, and accept our responsibility to leave this world more prosperous and more peaceful than we found it.” – President Obama

On repeat all day

Well you only need the light when it’s burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
