Hi, I'm Helen.
I'm a 22 year old recent-graduate living in Nottingham, UK.
Things I love are; God, poetry, fashion, writing and a number of other things. This blog is just a mixture of all that - basically an expression of myself. Hope you enjoy what you see! God Bless x

@3 months ago with 373 notesWhen you swallow my sentences
with the taste of your lips
and polish my pronunciation
with your fingertips
and sway my syllables
with the pulse of your hipsI am nothing but a paperplane wish
teetering on the iceberg tip of your tongue
waiting to drown, sink or swim
in the unfathomable oceans of your love.

Tommie Smith & John Carlos - Black Power.
always reblog.
Both men received a lot of flack when they came home. As did the Australian (I believe that’s the right country) for how he stood with them. One of the guys forgot his glove, so the Australian told him to use the left glove that the other one had. That is why they are on opposite hands.

#PARENTS If you have little girls, please read this speech:
“When I started my music career, I was a maid. I used to clean houses. My mother was a proud janitor. My stepfather, who raised me like his very own, worked at the post office and my father was a trashman. They all wore uniforms and that’s why I stand here today, in my black and white, and I wear my uniform to honor them.
This is a reminder that I have work to do. I have people to uplift. I have people to inspire. And today, I wear my uniform proudly as a Cover Girl. I want to be clear, young girls, I didn’t have to change who I was to become a Cover Girl. I didn’t have to become perfect because I’ve learned throughout my journey that perfection is the enemy of greatness.
Embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes others uncomfortable.” - Janelle Monáe
