The real glo up is when you stop waiting to turn into some perfect hypothetical version of yourself and consciously enjoy being who you are in the present moment.

Every summer this post starts getting notes again lol

@big-eazy I swear this heat drives me crazy, has me wanting to throw hands when someone even looks or speaks to me lmao

me, dramatically sprawled out on the floor, eyeliner dripping: no one loves me… I deserve death

me, approximately 5 seconds later, on a skateboard with a caprisun and sunglasses: lmao that was wild anyway anyone wanna give me attention?

if a guy is hitting on u and he is clearly the alpha in his group of guys.. go for the third in command and undermine their whole power structure

not 2 be a banksy freak but 2017 makeup culture is so depressing… the industry relentlessly peddling products to teens & the ridiculous level of consumption thats celebrated n normalised….worst of all ppl defending it saying its a wonderful thing that we live in an age of extreme makeup consumerism..soz i dont see anything wonderful about 14 yr old girls being told by rolls royce owning youtubers that they care about them so much that they are giving out a discount code on ludicrous amounts of essentially the same products every week so they cn perform femininity adequately enough to feel worth

And it’s even sadder when you bring this up around people and they get all defensive because everyone and their mother wants to be an MUA these days, and they don’t realize they’ve been handed such bullshit by these big companies.  The companies have won when suddenly you can’t be an “empowered” women without “power brows” and perfect lipstick, and I see so many people on social media preaching that being an MUA makes them a stronger feminist; basically aligning feminism with consumerist makeup culture which is the exact opposite of what feminism actually is.

“I don’t think I’m going to miss eighth grade.  It’s been a tough year.  A lot of my friends are struggling with depression and self-harm, and it’s hard for me to watch.  I just care about them so much.  Growing up is so hard for some people.  It’s such a big thing.  It’s your foundation, I guess.  You’re becoming you.  It’s such a big thing and we’re going through it right now.  Some of my friend…s are struggling with loving themselves and loving life.  I think they forget that we’re still learning.  They think that they’re already who they’re going to be.  They think they know the future.  And it’s going to be horrible.  And they’ll never be able to fix it.  But that’s not true because we’re still changing.  And we’ll always be changing.  Even when we’re old, we’ll be changing.”

Ezra Koenig is working on an animated series called “Neo Yokyo” starring Jaden Smith and Jude Law. 

Jaden Smith plays a little boy named Kai and Jude Law plays a robot butler/rocket ship called Charles.

EK has teased us about a project he’s working on with Jaden in June 2015, tweeting a photo of them together and part of an animation storyboard saying “things are bubbling in the sea beneath 14th street”. 

Jude Law briefly talked about this project during his TimesTalks interview (around 1:12:00 mark). 

Thanks @mybirdyouth for the heads up!

listening to your favorite band with your friend

no one looks dumber than a guy who calls a girl ugly after he was just hitting on her

a guy who calls a girl a whore for not sleeping with him is a strong contender
