Phylicia Rashad’s Letter to 21-Year Old Self:
Dear Phylicia,
Romantic involvement distracts you and can blind you to what’s really in front of you. And what really is in front of you? You are. You don’t even know yourself yet. You think you know and you want to assert that you do, now that you’re a certain age, but you don’t. What’s in front of you is a whole world of experiences beyond your imagination. Put yourself, and your growth and development, first. There are long-term repercussions to what you’re doing now. Everything you do, every thought you have, every word you say creates a memory that you will hold in your body. It’s imprinted on you and affects you in subtle ways—ways you are not always aware of. With that in mind, be very conscious and selective.
With high hopes for you,
Phyliciawow…. this is so incredibly relevant to me. hmph.

crying cause its so good.
^^ basically
This song is gonna be on the radio
This indictment of the prison-industrial complex and the new Jim Crow and modern racism
Is gonna be on the radio
And white kids are gonna be singing along without knowing what the fuck it means
And that is somehow tragic and beautiful at the same time
exactly.
