Black Love is waking up the morning after to the smell of baking biscuits and frying bacon.
Black love is never having to grease your own scalp.
Black love is always having a spades partner
Black Love is getting a free lineup in your boxers at the kitchen table.
Black love is when Big Momma asks about you if you miss a Sunday dinner.
“There is no greater distance than that of the gap between what I know in my head and what I believe in my heart.”

“People aren’t always what you want them to be. Sometimes they disappoint you or let you down, but you have to give them a chance first. You can’t just meet someone and expect them to be everything you’re looking for and then be angry when they’re not every hope and aspiration you projected onto them. It’s foolish to believe that someone will be what you imagine them to be. And sometimes, when you give them a chance, they turn out to be better than you imagined. Different, but better.”

when you have nothing to lose so you end up fighting over scraps which leads to consequences much greater than the nothing you had in the first place. when you have nothing to lose but your reputation and there’s only one way to defend it and that way has no way out, how do you break the cycle?
“…and when the groove is dead and gone, you know that LOVE survives…so we can rock forever.”
